Last week we missed the post due to the catalogs. I tried to make up some of the lost time, but life just gets in the way sometimes.
Spider-woman #7 was my favorite for the week. Not so much because of the actual story but more for the metaphor of the trials of friendship. King In Black hit the title and the group is faced with a symbiote to fight. Jessica is caught in a fight for life against a toxin, Carol Danvers involves her in the current conflict which triggers buried issues between the two characters. Reading the comic you get the feeling the conflict and rage is fear combined with rage, much like recovery from actual addiction. It was nice to see someone roll in the abuse issue, include the friendship, and leave the wound open as the issue ends. There was a lot going on in this comic but more metaphorically, than as actual plot. Very impressed.
