Shekhar Kapur's Snake Woman #4 (2006) intensifies the haunting, myth-laden descent of Jessica Peterson, a woman whose seemingly ordinary life has been overtaken by ancient forces far beyond her control. Published by Virgin Comics and born from the imagination of celebrated filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, this issue continues to weave together psychological suspense and Indian folklore in a darkly lyrical narrative.

In this chapter, Jessica’s transformation into the Ichchhadhari Naagin—a legendary shape-shifting serpent tied to karmic cycles of vengeance—becomes increasingly inescapable. Her struggle to maintain her humanity against overwhelming ancestral instincts is at the heart of this issue, creating a deeply personal yet mythic journey that is both unsettling and strangely empowering. As her visions intensify and violent impulses grow harder to contain, the narrative edges further into the realm of destiny, reincarnation, and spiritual retribution.

Zeb Wells handles the script with a careful blend of dread and introspection. Rather than lean solely on action or shock, he allows the tension to build gradually, inviting readers into Jessica’s fractured psyche. The issue balances slow-burning horror with moments of sharp, jarring violence—violence that feels less like a choice and more like an awakening. As new characters emerge and old secrets surface, Jessica’s place in a larger mythological cycle becomes clearer, and far more dangerous.

Michael Gaydos returns with gritty, emotionally charged visuals. His expressive linework and moody compositions continue to ground the supernatural in something raw and believable. Urban alleyways, shadowed interiors, and Jessica’s increasingly serpentine expressions are rendered with disturbing beauty. The colour palette remains earthy and subdued, heightening the sense of something ancient coiling beneath the surface.

This issue is a critical point in Jessica’s transformation—a meditation on what it means to be both predator and prey, human and legend. It’s an ideal read for fans of psychological horror with mythic undertones, offering depth and complexity rarely seen in traditional genre comics.
