Spider-Woman: Shifting Gears, Volume 1: Baby Talk by Dennis Hopeless
5.0
I was skeptical of this new storyline for Jessica. I wasn't sure about the whole space hospital hostage situation. I worried that this was just going to be a cheesy slapstick comedy gag that dragged on too long. But this book turned me around and convinced me this is a good direction for this character. By the time you get to #5, the feels are really going, and Jess is a completely believable character in that situation. I don't have kids, but sometimes I wake up at night worrying about how much I'm going to worry when I have kids. I've been trying to cut back on the collections that I buy, but this is a book that I'm going to want to go back to and read again when I get to that stage of life.
One thing I would love to see is an interaction between Jessica Drew and Jessica Jones. Both are bad ass private eyes (with history together) who also happens to be the only two superhero Moms I know of in the Marvel U (except Sue Storm? Oh, and Tigra?). Surely Jessica Jones could give Spider-Woman a few pointers on balancing being a Mom with being a hero?
