Details Revealed for Marvel’s New Spider-Woman Series

During last month’s San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel announced that Steve Foxe and Carola Borelli would be launching a new Spider-Woman ongoing series spinning out of the Gang War crossover event this November. The publisher is now finally revealing more details on what’s in store for Jessica Drew. And keep scrolling to see the first issue’s cover art from Leinil Francis Yu, Bengal, and Felipe Massafera and don’t miss SPIDER-WOMAN #1 when it debuts November 29th!

The series will see Jessica “angrier than ever, and her ruthless crime fighting will shock her fellow heroes during and beyond the events of GANG WAR.” She’ll also battle a brand-new force of evil. Readers can get a first glimpse of what jumpstarts Jessica’s new path in a special preview in tomorrow’s AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #31.

Marvel shared more on what fans can expect from this new series, “The Web of Destiny restored Spider-Woman’s life, but even Captain Marvel and Madame Web can tell something’s changed. After Viper engineers a deadly union between Hydra and Diamondback that’s about to tear the city apart, Spider-Man wants to recruit her for a new team to face an all-new foe – one who is powerful enough to destroy the city while burning Spider-Woman’s world to the ground.”

Foxe, the series writer, shared his excitement, "Jessica Drew has been my favorite Marvel heroine since I was a kid. From the instantly classic costume to her complex backstory, there's just so much to her. She's a spy, a street-smart detective, a superheroic best friend, an Avenger, a Spider-Verse-hopper, a mother, and a survivor. Getting the chance to do it alongside Carola, as well as Eric Koda on our prologue, has been bioelectric heaven."

"Few characters have been through Hell like Jessica Drew has been through Hell, and I'm so excited to throw even more at her," he continued.
