Spider-Woman # 1 Cover A Ito First Printing 2026 BN

Spider-Woman #1 is the highly anticipated debut issue of an all-new ongoing Marvel Comics series launching on November 4, 2026. Part of Spider-Woman's official 50th-anniversary celebration, the title marks a major status-quo shift that plunges Jessica Drew into a dark, horror-infused detective noir narrative. The new era is brought to life by writer Dan Watters (Loki) and artist Andrea Broccardo (Spider-Man Noir).

Story & Plot Overview

Spinning directly out of the events of next month's Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity #5, the story forces Jessica Drew to handle a terrifying new affliction while returning to her street-level roots. 

• The Lethal Symbiote: Jessica unexpectedly comes into possession of and bonds with one of Marvel's most vicious supervillains—the Carnage symbiote. 
• The Jailer Dynamic: Unlike typical symbiote pairings, Jessica acts more like Carnage's physical prison than a willing host, struggling intensely to keep its bloodthirsty, violent impulses contained. 
• The Noir Investigation: To keep her sanity and hide her terrifying secret from her closest media allies, Jessica returns to her background as a private investigator. Teaming up with legendary journalist Ben Urich, she probes the seedy, bizarre underbelly of New York City. 
• The Hangman's Reign: The detective duo finds themselves hunting down The Hangman, a brutal vigilante whose violent crusade against New York's crime syndicates has top mob bosses like Tombstone running scared.
