Spinning directly out of the events of Mary Jane: Face It, Tiger and the Queen in Black crossover saga, Mary Jane Watson is navigating a massive crossroads in her life. 

• The New Roster: Having officially separated from her recent superhero stint bound to the Venom symbiote, MJ decides to focus heavily on her true creative passion: storytelling. 
• Watson Productions: The issue centers on the glitz, glamour, and intense stress surrounding the grand opening of her brand-new independent filmmaking studio in New York City, Watson Productions.

To survive the experience and protect her crew, MJ will have to utilize her inner strength, her network of allies (including planned crossovers with Black Cat and Iron Man), and a top-secret leftover gift from Venom.
