Spider-Woman #2

In "Spider-Woman Agent of S.W.O.R.D. Issue Two," Spider-Woman finds herself arrested by the Madripoor Police Department, but her quick thinking and powers help her convince Detective Chong to let her go. Just as she escapes custody, Madame Hydra strikes, brutally eliminating Madripoor's officers and forcing a tense confrontation with the web-slinger. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated in bold, moody detail by Alex Maleev—whose distinctive style defines both the interior art and the cover—this 2009 issue delivers a high-stakes clash of wit, power, and danger on the streets of Madripoor.
