A mildly interesting issue that crams in quite a bit — Jessica visits Mrs. Dolly, becomes better friends with Lindsay McCabe, fights some creep named the Enforcer, and chitchats with the Werewolf By Night. Not great, but pretty stellar by Spider-Woman standards.

Incredibly boring issue (with requisite over-the-top sexiness) saved by an interestingly mysterious last panel, where Jessica Drew’s date starts to melt into a gelatinous blob.
