Marvel Comics has announced a new Mary Jane and Black Cat team up for December just days before Christmas called Mary Jane & Black Cat: Beyond #1. Written by Jed MacKay with art by Vincenzo Carratù, the five-issue saga will tie into the upcoming Dark Web event–more on Dark Web here. Given how great the one-shot Mary Jane & Black Cat: Beyond #1 was, we’re in good hands.
“I’ve kind of lost track of how many lives Felicia has left at this point, but she keeps coming back- and this time she’s brought a friend!” MacKay said. “Getting back to Mary Jane and Black Cat after their one-shot last year has been a delight—and seeing how they’ve been catching up on all the drama that’s happened since then has been, well, catnip.”
So what’s Mary Jane & Black Cat: Beyond #1 about?
Earlier this year, MJ and Felicia joined forces to save Peter in MacKay’s Mary Jane & Black Cat: Beyond #1, an acclaimed one-shot that went on to receive a second printing. With the way Peter’s relationship stands with them in the current run of Amazing Spider-Man, the developments in this series are sure to be even crazier! Set against the twisted backdrop of DARK WEB, Mary Jane Watson and Felicia Hardy find themselves thrown into one another’s paths and then into the demonic dimension of LIMBO! But something has changed with MJ, and she’s not the only one keeping secrets – Felicia’s got a guilty conscience, and it’s playing havoc with their escape plan!
