Spider-Woman was a different and daring book for the time it was originally published (late 70s). If you're looking for a female version of Spider-Man, look somewhere else. This book is edgy and shows a character who's not comfortable with her super-powers and really isn't that powerful overall. Jessica Drew has a unique problem; her spider-blood makes others not like her. This plays out for awhile before Michael Fleisher takes over as writer and takes her in a new direction. There aren't a lot of big-time villains outside of Hydra in the beginning parts, but it's an eclectic group for an eclectic heroine. If you're looking for a different look at heroes, here's a good read.
