Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D. Motion Comic DVD Review

Spider-Woman isn’t the most well-known super heroine in the Marvel universe, but the motion comic Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D. really sheds a new light on the character. Written by Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spider-Man, House of M, and Secret Invasion) and amazing artwork by Alex Maleev, Spider-Woman delves into Jessica Drew’s recruitment into the extraterrestrial counterterrorism agency S.W.O.R.D. Her first mission is to investigate and hunt down Skrulls. The images are beautiful and give a gritty feel to the story. The voice acting is pretty good and really brings another dimension to all of the characters.

The only downside to this was the fact there were only 5 episodes. The story is very complete though, but it seems very short. I wanted to see more.

There are several very good special features on this DVD including a motion comic Music Video, the Visual History of Spider-Woman, and a Behind the scenes featurette of Marvel Knights animation. These are all very well done and make a great addition to this DVD.

Despite being short, this motion comic was very well done and had a great story about an under used Marvel character.

I give Spider-Women: Agent of S.W.O.R.D. motion comic a 6 out of 10 Skrulls!
