>>100914189This outfit didn't feel at all like Burnsidegirl aside from the leather jacket, idk what you're on about. The real mistake was not giving her a mask, actually. The editors shot down all the costume concepts that had a mask, though.
The idea of having a Spider-Woman not tied to Pete is actually kind of inspired and I think it's something they should keep. Once you're sucked into ASM's orbit, there's no escaping it because of how big Spider-Man is.
Classic Spider-Woman stories never emphasized the espionage component of her past, and it only became a big part of her character after the Bendis/Reed updated origin. I don't think they actually bring it up too much, and when they do, I think they twist it up in a way that makes sense. The Bendis series was actually a great approach to that. In any case, this book ignored the spy stuff completely.
>>100914243It was ridiculous that they forgot that. I think the defining feature of Marvel post-Secret Wars is "our editors have no idea when we're rehashing stories that have already been done before and done better."
