In the previous comic, Spider-Woman, aka Jessica Drew, is pregnant and working with Porcupine and Ulrich, the reporter. Her best friend is Captain Marvel. Now its a month before the baby is due and she is taking some time off and is bored to death. Carol, Captain Marvel, has recommended an alien hospital as being the best hospital to have her baby in and that she should check it out. So Jess goes one day to do just that. When she finds the maternity ward, some Skrulls take it over and Jess is forced to fight back even though she promised her friends and her baby that she would take it easy. She destroys the two Skrull soldiers and wins the adoration of her fellow pregnant aliens. She gets ahold of Carol who is on her way, but she knows that more soldiers are on their way. She enlists the help of the pregnant aliens and they all take care of the soldiers. With the help of Carol and the hospital staff talking them through it, they get to a secure place but someone needs to go and talk to a doctor's head kept in storage to get the doors open in order for Carol and the help to get in and get them out. Jess does this but the head says it could take six hours to get the doors open. Meanwhile, Carol lets slip that the Skrull are after a thirteen-year-old prince so Jess decides to rescue the prince even in her condition. Unfortunately, she goes into labor while she is rescuing him. They barricade themselves into a room with a doctor who performs a c-section on Jess who is determined to fight back after the surgery.
Now Jess, with the help of reporter Ben Ulrich goes after the bad guys while balancing being a mother and a partner to Porcupine. This time she's after Fin boy whose home address Ulrich gives her is uptown and inside has sea monsters. The two fight and wind up going over the side of the building when Jess gets a call from Roger wanting to know what PJ's to put on their son. Of course she doesn't stop working to take the call and Roger reminds her once again that she isn't supposed to do that. Will she catch the Fin boy amid all the sea monsters?
Roger and Jess go to Canada where Roger insists that the Wendigo lives. All it takes to create a Wendigo is to eat human flesh and the cook, it turns out is a Wndingo who intends to feed everyone human flesh. Meanwhile, Jess is ignoring Carol's call because she doesn't want to be dragged into the Civil War. So Carol shows up in Canada to convince her of the justness of her cause, but Jess won't hear it. But when Carol says that all she wants is for Jess to verify an Inhuman kid's predictions and she would be paid a government salary for it. As she goes along she finds that the predictions are turning out to be true. But Bruce Banner is killed as a preventive measure and Jess refuses to talk to Carol and goes up against her.
The last comic in this book has the family going to the beach and running into Sandman. This is a great comic that explores Jess and her new family life while she fights the bad guys as does her husband. Jess is such a great character. I love how she doesn't want to take sides in a Civil War but finds herself taking a side when someone she cares about is murdered. I give this book five out of five stars.
