Shekhar Kapur's Snake Woman #4 (2006) continues the dark, evocative journey of Jessica Peterson as she spirals deeper into a world of myth, vengeance, and uncontrollable transformation. Published by Virgin Comics and co-created by visionary filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, this issue builds on the deeply psychological and mythologically rich foundation of the series, fusing Indian folklore with a gritty, modern narrative.

By this fourth chapter, Jessica’s life is unraveling. No longer simply a young woman caught in strange circumstances, she is now becoming something else entirely—part human, part Ichchhadhari Naagin, a mystical shape-shifting serpent bound by karmic ties and ancestral memory. As she struggles to reconcile the awakening force inside her, the lines between justice, instinct, and morality begin to blur.

Zeb Wells crafts a tense and introspective script that delves into the consequences of awakening ancient power in a modern, fractured world. Jessica’s internal conflict takes centre stage, as does the shadowy network of enemies and past-life connections slowly surfacing around her. This issue doesn’t shy away from emotional weight—every choice Jessica makes is steeped in dread, regret, or a dark, rising empowerment.

Artist Michael Gaydos delivers a stunning visual narrative, with moody, expressionist artwork that captures the emotional volatility of the story. His style—raw, textured, and grounded—adds to the story’s psychological depth. The urban setting feels claustrophobic and jagged, and Jessica’s transformation is illustrated with a chilling subtlety that leaves an imprint well after the final panel. The muted, dusky colour palette amplifies the creeping unease, creating a dreamlike, sinister atmosphere.

Shekhar Kapur’s Snake Woman #4 is not just a continuation—it’s a deepening. The plot thickens, the mythology expands, and Jessica’s evolution becomes even more compelling. It’s a tale of fate, identity, and the ancient beasts that live beneath the skin of modern life.
