Marvel Knights Spiderwoman: Agent Of SWORD

Oh, Spiderwoman can be the agent of my sword. You know what I’m talking about? Oh, come on. Look at her! That outfit is painted on her body! Anyhoot, Marvel Knights Spiderwoman: Agent of SWORD is a kickass animated comic that I watched earlier and I have to say it was pretty damned cool for all the right reasons. They took a character that I don’t know anything about and didn’t care to since even in animated form she seemed boring as all hell. It took me seeing Brian Michael Bendis’ name to wanna give it a shot and I’m so glad I did.

For those that don’t know what an animated comic is, its taking a comic book and then slightly putting movements in it. There are voices and sound effects and such as well. If you’ve ever watched The Maxx when it was on MTV’s Liquid Television (if you haven’t you’re making teenage Jesus cry) then you know what I mean. It starts with Jessica Drew aka Spiderwoman who believes that she is the most screwed over person ever. Even more so than Wolverine who if you know has been messed over more than anyone in the history of comics. I don’t want to get too much into her characters history but she was replaced by a Skrull queen and had her life ruined.

Jessica gets an offer by Abigail Brand, an agent of SWORD, a job and the chance to find some Skrulls and kill their strange chinned asses. Spiderman shows up trying to help her after she travels to Madripoor to find some Skrulls and it turns out its not really him. She beats his ass and passes out from landing 12 stories onto a car and pounding him to death. She wakes up in jail and has to use her power to make people love or fear her to get out. A shootout occurs and she has to leave with HYDRA. They take her to their base where she interrogates a captured Skrull who when he finds out she is not the Skrull queen he goes H.A.M and she beats him to death before escaping and landing in a fountain. She wakes up in a hospital where she is taken to jail again and escapes once again and is confronted by the Thunderbolts who have been sent to pick her up.

She escapes them and tracks down another Skrull at a bar who beats the hell out of her. I mean in this entire thing she gets beat up about five times. And by beat up I mean beat to all hell. He ends up getting away and transforming into a normal human just as The Avengers arrive. Spiderwoman uses her Skrull tracker and then Wolverine pops a claw through its heart killing him. Spiderwoman and Wolverine sit on the plane heading home and he tells her that they are her real friends and she should trust them. Oh, and he is still the most screwed over person in the world.
