10/29/2018 - Trade Review - Spider-Women

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Who is the greatest Spider-Woman of them all?

It's ok, you know the answer - It's Silk.

What?????

You were expecting Jessica Drew, right? I am going to have to side with the host of Aurum's comics ( I can't remember his name, at this moment. For the longest time I thought it was Aurum). He believes that Jessica should be disconnected to all of the Peter Parker Spider-Mythos stuff, and have a new, non-Spider-Woman name.

Her origins have nothing to do with Peter Parker, which is the exact opposite of the other two Spider-ladies in this book - Silk and Spider-Gwen. Silk was bitten by the same Spider that bit Peter Parker, and Spider-Gwen is the Spider-Woman from another reality, where the radioactive Spider bit Gwen Stacey, instead of Peter Parker.

If I could rank the current adventures of each of these Spider-Women, it would go as follows:

Silk
Spider-Woman
Spider-Gwen

What this book does a great job with is capture the distinctive voice of each of these three heroines. This book also does a fantastic job of drawing in all of the zaniness that fills up Spider-Gwen's world and ties it in with Silk's personal life. The art shifts dramatically from book to book, with each issue either being enjoyable to flip through or filled with cringe inducing character design. I love two out of three of these characters, so this book was at least three out of five stars for me, on goodreads.

TOP TEN MCU Moments

11 years, and 21 films. In my opinion, here is the best of the very best ........ 10) Carol Danvers rises up, multiple times through her life For entries 9 through 10 on this list, I knew the exact moments I wanted to include. For the tenth spot, I had multiple candidates. It was hard to determine which moment, out of 21 movies, and eleven years of being immersed in the MCU, that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the 9 other scenes you are going to read about. There were other moments from the movies I chose for this list, including Infinity War, Guardians Vol 1 and 2, and Black Panther, that could have fit in here. I also felt like something from Civil War , or the original Iron Man should have made the list. In the end, This scene stood (pun intended) out among the other contenders. I go back and forth about whether Captain Marvel is a sub par film, with a few good moments, or a good film, with a few stand out moments. One thing I cannot deny is t...

FEMALE MAIN CHARACTERS FROM THE BALANCING ACT UNIVERSE

You came back! Oh Man, are you awesome! Speaking of backs, I have pulled a muscle in mine. All day I have been walking around like poor Tobey up there. That is not going to stop me from delivering on my promise! In our last newsletter, I mentioned that I would provide you with a break down of all of the recent videos from each of my three channels. That will always be a given with this newsletter. I also said I would share a few of my favorite female main characters from my universe with you. This is all in anticipation for the first piece of fiction I will be sharing with you, on February 4th! Ok, so as the pain meds kick in, let’s talk about the shows that came out this week: Shari T and I were very sad to say goodbye to our recent favorite show - YELLOWJACKETS. I had suspected that covering YELLOWJACKETS would stir up interest in the ANCHORPETE channel, but I didn’t realize how active our community would become! As we went from Episode One all the...
