To celebrate Spider-Woman’s 50th anniversary, Marvel launches a bold new era for Jessica Drew this November!
Following a major development in Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity #5 next month where Jessica Drew finds herself in possession of Marvel’s most terrifying supervillain, Spider-Woman is thrust into a dark new chapter in SPIDER-WOMAN #1 by writer Dan Watters (Loki) and artist Andrea Broccardo (Spider-Man Noir).

SPIDER-WOMAN takes Jessica back to her roots as a private investigator, teaming her with journalist Ben Urich to uncover the hidden threats that lurk in the shadows. Venturing into the seedy corners of the Marvel Universe that even her fellow heroes avoid, Jessica is forced to embrace her darker impulses—but at what cost?
Fans can get their first glimpse at Jessica’s new adventures in Watters and Broccardo’s story in SPIDER-WOMAN 50TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL #1, on sale this September. The landmark one-shot also features a story by groundbreaking writer Ann Nocenti (Daredevil), who returns to the character alongside artist Stefano Raffaele (Alien Vs. Captain America) for a thrilling celebration of Spider-Woman’s legacy.
“I’m super excited to be part of Jessica Drew’s new chapter,” Broccardo shared. “After Spider-Man Noir, it’s great to come back to that dark atmosphere that I love. This series is a bit different from the previous Spider-Woman series, it is a detective noir story, with Jessica tormented by something that changes her life, her super hero behavior and her approach to the cases as a detective. It also has horror and gore, which is unusual for Spider-Woman, but super stimulating for me!”
“I knew Dan from his work on Batman and it’s awesome to work with him,” Broccardo continued. “He writes very good scripts. When I read the story and start drawing it, I can visualize in my mind the scenes described in the script—even the smells and sounds. I’m happy to work on this series with him and I’m pretty curious where Jessica’s life will go from here!”
“I’m over the moon that Andrea and I are continuing the story of the mysterious Spider-Woman we start in the Anniversary special,” Watters said. “Investigating leads too dangerous for the Daily Bugle’s journalists, Jess will uncover some of the strangest crimes in New York City. And in a town like this? That’s saying a lot.”
