Finished reading Spider-Woman: Shifting Gears: Civil War II, continuing the series as Jessica finds herself dealing with the events of Marvel’s second Civil War. The book opens with Jessica on the hunt for Tiger Shark who just escaped police custody meanwhile Porcupine is looking after Jessica's son, Gerry back at her apartment. The next story sees Jessica along with Roger and Ben Urich going to Canada in hope to stop a Wendigo outbreak when Captain Marvel comes to meet with Jessica in hope to hire her to see how accurate the Inhuman Ulysses visions on the future are. The final story sees Jessica and Gerry meeting with Roger and his daughter Kalie at Staten Island for a day at the beach only for Sandman to show up and begin to cause trouble. Overall this was a great book as writer Dennis Hopeless continues the series as Jessica finds herself on multiple cases some on the behalf of her friend Carol Danvers which leads to some great comedic moments thanks to some great visuals from the art department and the characters reaction to that the situations they find themselves in. The art as a whole also does a great job in showcasing the action set pieces and some of the books paneling is also used to great effect to show how characters move around the location they are in thanks to the way the characters move around the page. The character development of the books main cast continues to be great thanks to the way Jessica, Roger and Ben work together and the flashback to Jessica with Bruce Banner in Avengers Tower in the past helps to highlight how much she has developed as a character since the series has begun. 8/10.
