It’s Spider-Woman’s 50th anniversary, and to celebrate Marvel is launching a new Spider-Woman ongoing series from Dan Watters and Andrea Broccardo. And based on a preview it looks like… She’s Carnage now?
While Marvel isn’t confirming exactly what happens other than 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,” the story will continue in the Spider-Woman 50th Anniversary Special #1, and then launch into the new ongoing series in November.
“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 via press release. “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.”
Added Broccardo, “I’m super excited to be part of Jessica Drew’s new chapter. 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. 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!”
Spider-Woman #1 hits stores on November 4, 2026. Check out the cover from Ito, three interior pages and the synopsis below.
CARNAGE NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD!
Old foes back from the dead! Mysteries around every corner! And a bloodthirsty Carnage just barely kept contained! It’s a recipe for Spider-Woman’s darkest adventure yet—as the darkness within Jessica Drew threatens to break free…
