Spider-woman: Origin

Like most people around this time of year, I've been busy at work and shopping for presents, so I haven't been updating as often as I wish I could. I'll be going home for Christmas for a few days starting tomorrow as well, so I won't have time to read comics, let alone discuss them, but I promise to be more consistent when I return.

It's about on par with most superhero stuff out there - I just hope it improves as it goes on, like the ending of this issue seemed to indicate it would...
