Sara Ehret hat eine amtliche Zulassung als Superheldin, will den Job aber gar nicht ausüben und verkauft die Lizenz an Alana Jobson. Als diese ums Leben kommt, fühlt Sara sich schuldig und ausgerechnet Spidey verstärkt ihre Schuldgefühle noch, indem er Sara ins Gewissen redet. Also zieht sie ihre Superheldinnen=Plünnen wieder an, tut was sie muss und verfolgt Spuren eines Verbrechers, der eine merkwürdige Droge auf den Markt schmeißt, die aus den Schweißdrüsen eines Superbösewichts gewonnen wird (argh!). Sie gerät u.a. an den Boomerang, der nicht ihre Liga ist und der ihren Ehemann tötet. Sara schwört Rache.
Die Story ist eher pathetisch als spannend und Sara bleibt als Person eher farblos. Dass sich "Jackpot" (an alberne Namen muss sich der eifrige Leser von Superhelden=Comics früh gewöhnen) nicht als "the next great Marvel Heroine" etabliert hat, wie es vollmundig auf dem Umschlag versprochen wird, wundert mich nicht.

Marc Guggenheim helms a closer look at Spider-Man's infamous red-herring redhead known as Jackpot in this collection. Introduced under the Brand New Day Banner, the Mary Jane lookalike heroine was designed to make readers wonder if MJ had actually attained superhuman abilities. This volume explores scientist Sara Ehret reclaiming her former mantle after the death of her close friend Alan Jobson. Guilted by Spider-Man into re-accepting her responsibilities, Sara finds herself teaming with the web-slinger to investigate a new drug on the streets. The investigation leads Sara to cross paths with the latest criminal taking the name Rose and a violent assault on her family by the souped-up enforcer Boomerang. The notions of power and responsibility continue to have dire consequences, forcing the naive heroine to decide whether she can live with the results of her heroic career. Despite some engaging visuals from Adriana Melo, the collection only continues to highlight all of the issues with the Brand New Day plotline. A one-note character gets added backstory complications and ruthless familial treatment; the events relayed within these pages almost guarantee that the idea of Jackpot has finally crapped out.

เกริ่นก่อนว่า Jackpot มีหลายคน เนื้อหาเล่มนี้คือ Jackpot คนก่อนหน้าที่รับหน้าที่ต่อจากคนแรก เสียชีวิต Jackpot คนแรกจึงถูกขอให้กลับมารับหน้าที่เป็น Hero ต่อ
เนื่องจากติดค้างอะไรบางอย่าง ภายใต้หน้ากาก Jackpot นี้
>> Next Read, " Jackpot&Blackcat" ซึ่ง Jackpot เล่มนี้จะเป็น MJ มั้ง

[Matt Kelland · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very average story about a minor character in the Marvel universe. Okay if you want to look at superheroines with big boobs, or if you absolutely must read everything about every character, but otherwise there's no reason to read this. It's not bad, just very, very mediocre, and a perfect example of why I don't generally bother to read superhero comics.

A re-telling of sorts of one of Spider-man's recent ensemble characters. Lots of action and humour typical of the comics, with a resonant tragic event towards the end.

Not bad, nice to read a comic with a female lead who is strong and smart. I would have given more stars but while the lead character Jackpot was interesting the story was routine.

Not impressed, not bad art and an OK story, but only for completists.
