Spider-Woman and The Shadow

 

Jessica Drew has become entangled in mysteries regarding her origins before.  Perhaps The Shadow could help her uncover some long-hidden truths.

Spider-Woman and The Fly

 

Spiders and flies may not usually work well together, but these two may be an exception.  I do think that their costumes look pretty good side by side.

Spider-Woman and Batgirl in: "A Vile Visit From Mr. Universe!"

 

Spider-Woman and Batgirl met previously in STF #3879, but I thought it would be cool to see them in an animated adventure as well.  Who better to face off against them than STF's own Mr. Universe, making his 5th appearance.

Spider-Woman and Vigilante

 

I mainly like seeing these two together because they have a couple of my favorite costumes.  I think there could be an interesting story involving them both, though.  It might be a strained working relationship, but it would be fun to watch play out.

Spider-Woman, Tarantula and Fly Girl

 

Madame Web seems to have briefly brought the world together in that everyone who has seen it universally has declared it to be an awful movie.  Apparently the Spider-Women of the movie only appear in costume for a vision of the future late in the film that only last a couple of minutes and the rest of the run time is filled with disjointed scenes and laughable dialogue.  Maybe Sony Picture would have been better served by featuring a trio of bug-based heroes like the ones on the cover above?

Hawk & Dove and Spider-Woman

 

I've been hoping to see a live action Spider-Woman for years.  I thought that the upcoming Madame Web movie might fulfill that wish.  The first trailer for the Sony movie has dropped, and there are no shortage of spider-powered women in there.  I'm nor sure if any of them are Jessica Drew, though.  I guess we'll have to keep on waiting.

Supergirl and Spider-Woman in: "Deathplunge!"

 

Supergirl and Spider-Woman are about to hit the big screen, although as variants in each case. Issa Rae will be voicing Spider-Woman Jessica Drew from another universe in Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, and then a couple of weeks later Sasha Calle will star as an other dimensional Supergirl in The Flash.  From what I have seen, both look to be impressive.  Still, I hope we will get to see the versions we know from the comics in the theaters at some point down the line.

Supergirl and Spider-Woman previously met trying to avoid becoming super-villain brides in STF #2555...

Spider-Woman and Batgirl

 

I spider-Woman the first Super-Heroine to ever get her own animated TV series?  I think she just may be, and it's more impressive that it came out only a couple of years after her comic book debut.  It's still odd to me that Wonder Woman has never had her own cartoon.

These two may have to do a little more than search the city.  Regular visitors to this blog know that Jim Gordon was called to the planet Mongo in STF #2535... 

Spider-Woman and Black Canary

 

Sony really wants to explore its roster of Spider-Man related characters.  We've seen two Venom movies plus Morbius, and now Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web are in production.  The obvious question that comes to mind is - where is word of a Spider-Woman movie?  I'd think she would get the nod before more solo villain stories.

Spider-Woman and Robin

 

Now that the Disney+ Secret Invasion series is picking up steam with the recent castings of Emilia Clarke and Olivia Coleman, there has been speculation as to whether Spider-Woman will be joining the MCU.  A big reveal in the comics series was when Jessica Drew was revealed to be a Skrull in disguise.  I'm betting that Kevin Feige will not want to use the same hero as the comics did for that moment though.  Also, I'm not sure if Spider-Woman is considered a Sony character that would have to be shared with Disney the way Spider-Man is.

Always happy to feature the amazing art of JL Garcia Lopez on this blog.  This Robin is from JLGL's DC Comics Presents run.  I was very lucky to get a page from the issue of that series he did featuring Deadman, it's a favorite of mine:

Spider-Woman and The Huntress

Spider-Woman has undergone a few costume changes recently, probably to give her a more movie-friendly appearance once she makes the leap to the big screen.  Personally, I prefer her original look.  It has nods to Spider-man's outfit while still having its own unique feel and looks even better when topped of by her gorgeous mane of hair.  I'm not holding my breath waiting to see it show up in the movies, though.

These two previously met in STF #656...

Spider-Woman and Hawkwoman

Jessica Drew is long overdue to join the MCU.  There are plenty of ways to introduce her, given her ties to S.H.I.E.L.D. and  her thematic similarities to Spider-Man.  She's even been wearing a far more movie-friendly costume in the comics for the past few years.  She had her own cartoon in the 80's, surely some of the viewers of that show are now adults in the movie business that would be happy to work on her live action adventures.

Spider-Woman and Supergirl

Does Marvel have the rights to use Spider-Woman independently in their movies, or is she included in the partnership deal like Spider-Man and his villains?  Either way, I'd love to see her show up on  the big screen.  I would of course prefer her classic look depicted here, rather than the more movie-friendly outfit she has been sporting in the comics for the past few years.  If they can't use her, maybe we'll at  least see her show up in an animated Spider-Verse sequel?

Spider-Woman and Batman in: "Targeted... By The Enforcer!"

Spider-Woman has been given a new, more utilitarian costume in recent years.  I assume it is to make her outfit more movie-friendly should she ever make the leap to the big screen. The original may be hard to translate into live action, but it still looks fantastic on the illustrated page.  it's  great design and I hope we have not seen the last of it.

Spider-Woman met Batman once before, way back in my B&B MS Paint days...

Spider-Woman and Wonder Girl in "Twin Targets!"

DC Comics had been doing legacy and spin-off heroes for years, but it was still a relatively new thing for Marvel when characters like She-Hulk and Spider-Woman hit the stands.  I think Marvel was wise to have the still be quite distinct from the heroes that inspired them, and not just in gender.  Jennifer Walters retained her normal intelligence as She-Hulk and enjoyed the transformation, which was very different from Bruce Banner.  Spider-Woman had very little to do with Spider-Man at all, indeed they only crossed paths a few times.  She carved out her own path without having to become just an offshoot of an existing hero.

Spider-Woman and Wonder Girl first discovered their familial relationship back in STF #831...

Halo and Spider-Woman

I hope that the upcoming Black Lightning series continues the CW tradition of introducing other DC characters in the show.  We already know that his daughters exploring their heroic heritage will be a big part of the show.  It would be cool to see Halo, Geo-Force and Metamorpho join the already established Katana to enter Jefferson Pierce's world.

Black Orchid and Spider-Woman

I've enjoyed tales featuring these heroines with mysterious pasts, so I might be fun to see them share an adventure together.  Each has had very different takes throughout the years, depending on the writers involved, and it is always interesting to see what their latest incarnations are up to.

Batwoman and Spider-Woman

Spider-Woman is the latest heroine to have a makeover and while her classic outfit is a favorite of mine, I can understand the change.  It's amazing that she went so long with her original look, really.  The new costume seems to be designed to be more movie friendly, and looks influenced by Batgirl's recent redesign as well.  I think they did a decent job with the new look, we'll see if it sticks.

Insects Incorporated!

Even though I took my super-heroes very seriously when I was growing up, I did enjoy it when comic companies were able to poke fun at themselves.  Marvel's Not Brand Ecch and the all-humor issue of What If? were fun reads.  DC had Ambush Bug to point out the absurdities of a life in the DCU and as a comic character in general.  I always got a kick out of his appearances and I loved watching Henry Winkler voicing him in the final episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold.  Has he been back in comics recently?  I'd love to see the Bug's reaction to the New 52.

Justice League of America and Spider-Woman

With all the crazy rumors about plans to continue and expand the Amazing Spider-Man franchise (Sinister Six, All-Female Spider Team, Aunt May Prequel) floating around, I am surprised we have not heard of the most sensible route - a Spider-Woman solo film.  Jessica Drew has one of the great comic costumes and  a cool origin.  Her story is also quite different than Peter Parker's, which would set it apart from the previous films.  Maybe it's a rights issue... if that's the case, put her in The Avengers!
