redrikkiI confess I have a thing for clones. My mom and I look a lot alike. Growing up, my dad used to call us Clonee (mom) and Clonore (me) because he was allergic to using actual names. Seriously. I don't think I ever heard him call my mother Lois. It was always Tuffy or Martha or Petunia or what have you. Anyhow, clones. I like them.
So, given my natural predisposition to clones, I fell instantly in love with Ultimate Spider-man's Jessica Drew. I mean, a gender-flipped clone of Peter Parker struggling with her identity and her sexuality? How could I not be all over that? Thus the Queen of Lower Chelsea series. You'll notice that both the series and each of its installments come from Gaslight Anthem songs because that band is totally the soundtrack to Jessica's life and you can not convince me otherwise.
On to the stories!
1. Stop Clicking Your Read Heels - Following her introductory comic, Jessica Jessica Drew takes a shower and her first steps into her new life.
2. And Everybody Used to Call You Lucky - Jessica stumbles across a bag of drug money. Peter can afford to do the right thing, but Jessica doesn't have that luxury.
3. Fingertips That Might Ignite - Peter is straight like a straight thing. Jessica isn't sure what she is. (Jessica/Johnny Storm, Jessica/OFC)
