I'm not reading Spider-Man, so I don't know. Maybe another Legionnaire knows. But I remember the covers where she was teamed up with Black Cat. Now she has a symbiote. I don't know what happened in between.
Moreover, I don't care. MY Peter Parker doesn't make deals with the devil. MY Mary Jane is an actress and dancer, not a superhero or whatever the symbiotes are. And MY Peter Parker and Mary Jane are married, or at least a romantic couple. I don't know who any of these imposters are.
I have this memory that it was eventually revealed that "Jackpot" was not, in fact, Mary Jane Watson (as everyone had been led to believe), but I don't really care all that much, either.
The first Jackpot was not Mary Jane, but another redhead that looked like her. There was a second Jackpot as well. Mary Jane became the third around the time when she became involved with Paul.
A couple of years ago there was an event running right at the heels of "Blood Hunt" - I think it was named "Venom War" - which threw the symbiote pieces to the ceiling and let them fall into new places. That is how Eddie Brock became the current Carnage, and how the original Venom symbiote ended up bonded with Mary Jane in a situation of mutual need (they can't survive unless they are connected). The Jackpot powers factored into that change, and presumably she can still use them if she wants to.
That was the most interest I have had in marvel symbiotes ever. Not a very high bar, mind you, and it has already waned.
Obrigado, Luis. As we like to say around here, thanks for reading so we didn't have to!
I hear you.
Apparently it has become almost a duty for Marvel to publish stories where the best known symbiote hosts acquire cosmic significance in some form (and new names to go along with it).
I'm sure there is a market niche willing to read that. Contrary to my expectations, it is apparently not called "Bob".
CAPTAIN AMERICA AND WOLVERINE: WEAPONS OF ARMAGEDDON SET THE STAGE FOR THE NEXT AVENGERS EPIC!
This May, CAPTAIN AMERICA #11 and WOLVERINE: WEAPONS OF ARMAGEDDON #4 deliver key chapters in the lead up to ARMAGEDDON, a new Marvel Comics event coming this summer.
Following Doom’s fall at the end of One World Under Doom, Latveria is on the brink of civil war! In the latest arc of CAPTAIN AMERICA, Captain America is deployed to prevent the race to control Doom’s kingdom from erupting into a global conflict. As tensions rise, Cap discovers a startling secret about Doom’s legacy and goes head-to-head with the all-new S.H.I.E.L.D. and RED HULK to defend Latveria’s future.
In WOLVERINE: WEAPONS OF ARMAGEDDON, an investigation into missing mutants leads Wolverine to Primewarrior, an all-new super soldier program. Teaming up with Dave Colton, a new Captain America introduced in Zdarsky’s run, Wolverine vows to bring Primewarrior down, confronting his own trauma as he faces off against a deadly new Weapon X! And when the pair come across a mysterious “origin box” device originating from another universe, they’ll unleash a power that will change the face of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!

In DEATH SPIRAL, Torment’s killing spree puts SPIDER-MAN, A.K.A. PETER PARKER; VENOM, A.K.A. MARY JANE WATSON; and CARNAGE, A.K.A. EDDIE BROCK on a dramatic collision course, and when the violence finally subsides, fans will be left wondering the truth behind the murderer’s dark motives and how deep his mysterious connection to Peter goes.

Find out in this one shot that will define Torment’s past and his future!
"When Carnage hit the comic page it made you think Venom wasn't that bad," says Spider-Editor Nick Lowe. "Torment does that to Carnage here. He's not a symbiote... he's something much, much worse."

REBORN: ULTIMATE IMPACT DEFINES THE ULTIMATE UNIVERSE'S LEGACY ON MARVEL COMICS STORYTELLING!
This May, feel the fallout from the end of the Ultimate Universe in REBORN: ULTIMATE IMPACT, a five-issue saga by Chris Condon and Stefano Caselli.
Following the final issue of ULTIMATE ENDGAME in April, REBORN: ULTIMATE IMPACT will reveal the Ultimate Universe’s lasting effect on the main Marvel Universe. Written by Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine) and drawn by Stefano Caselli (Ultimate Black Panther), the five-issue limited series spins out of last year’s hit Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion series where the Ultimate Universe collided with the 616 and ended with Miles Morales returning home with mysterious “Origin Boxes,” special devices used to create the heroes of the Ultimate Universe. Originally weaponized by the Maker to rob characters of their heroic destinies, each Origin Box holds all that’s needed to grant specific power sets to whoever dares to open it—from the mighty abilities of legendary super heroes to the deadly capabilities of the world’s fiercest supervillains!
In today’s Miles Morales: Spider-Man #42, a special teaser story revealed that the race to obtain the Origin Boxes had already begun! When Miles is targeted by shadowy forces eager to use their power for themselves, the Origin Boxes will be scattered across the Marvel Universe, giving birth to new heroes and villains with familiar powers, but very different journeys! Origin Boxes will also play a key role in the upcoming Armageddon event, starting with next month’s prelude series, Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon by Chip Zdarsky and Luca Maresca.
FALLOUT FROM ULTIMATE ENDGAME!
Miles Morales returned from the Ultimate Universe with a plan: safeguard the Origin Boxes – catalysts for the creation of new super heroes – before they fall into the wrong hands! But the secret is out as Miles’ battle over the boxes engulfs the entire Marvel Universe! Witness the creation of stunning and unforgettable new characters on both sides of a conflict that will shape the future of the 616!
"I am so excited to be a part of this book and to be working with this fantastic team,” Condon shared. “To be able to play with the idea of these universes colliding in a truly unique and interesting way like this, and to have the opportunity to create new and lasting creations within them - both characters and settings - is a dream for any creator in this industry. I'm having so much fun working on this book with artist Stefano Caselli and Editor Tom Groneman. I hope that shines through when readers pick up their copies of what I think will be an exciting new piece of the Marvel Universe."
Check out Ben Harvey’s cover and stay tuned for more news about REBORN: ULTIMATE IMPACT, including the reveal of its all-new characters. For more information, visit Marvel.com.

FANTASTIC FOUR #11 INTRODUCES THE NEW FUTURE FOUNDATION
New York, NY— January 23, 2026 — Following a fateful encounter with the Invincible Woman, a dark alternate version of Sue, Marvel’s First Family will return home more inspired than ever to build a better tomorrow!
On sale in May, FANTASTIC FOUR #11 by acclaimed series writer Ryan North and rising star Patrick Boutin (Ultimate Universe: Two Years In) serves as an epilogue to the “Invincible Woman” arc that kicked off last month and lays the groundwork for an all-new iteration of the FUTURE FOUNDATION, the group of young geniuses introduced in Jonathan Hickman’s definitive run on the title. The Future Foundation tested the very limits of science to solve the world’s greatest problems and discover new ways for mankind to thrive. Now, the Fantastic Four kickstart this bold initiative once more, but this time, they’ll be taking a much different approach...
INTRODUCING THE NEW FUTURE FOUNDATION!
The Invincible Woman has been defeated... but what comes next? And how can the Fantastic Four be ready for it, especially when they can't actually agree on what the future looks like? And to make matters worse, Doom's technology is now making its way into the world at large - including into the hands of two-bit criminals who are wholly unprepared for its awesome might! PLUS: The Future Foundation makes its return - as does a two-story A.I.M. plot of destruction from years ago! And all this happens as the Fantastic Four have their hands full... with the return of THE CRIMEASAURUS REX!
“This is our first really big story in the run - contrasting with the usual single issues (which we are still doing!) - and of course, bringing a story like that in for a landing is really satisfying,” North shared. “I think it leaves Sue in a really interesting place. And of course, the Fantastic Four have encountered (and been pitched!) different versions of what a new Future Foundation could look like - and what they land on is exciting.”
In addition, FANTASTIC FOUR #11 will include a special bonus story by award-winning writer and artist, Stan Sakai. The Usagi Yojimbo creator will deliver an unforgettable showdown between Fantastic Four and one of their most iconic supervillains, Mole Man.
Check out the latest cover by Humberto Ramos along with a Foil Variant Cover by Ben Su and variant covers by Simone Bianchi, Andrea Sorrentino and Rickie Yagawa. Pick up FANTASTIC FOUR #7, Part Two of “The Invincible Woman,” and preorder upcoming issues at your local comic shop today.

CIVIL WAR: UNMASKED CELEBRATES THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SUPER HERO SHOWDOWN THAT RESHAPED THE MARVEL UNIVERSE!
This May, CIVIL WAR: UNMASKED, a new series by Christos Gage and Edgar Salazar, reveals all-new stories set during the explosive era of Marvel Comics’ Civil War event.
Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s CIVIL WAR, along with its gripping tie-in stories, tore your favorite super heroes apart, redefined event storytelling and unleashed shockwaves across the Marvel Universe that are still felt today. Now, twenty years later, Marvel is revealing secret showdowns and all-new adventures from the epic conflict in CIVIL WAR: UNMASKED, a five-issue limited series launching in May from writer Christos Gage (Battleworld), artist Edgar Salazar (The Last Wolverine), and returning original Civil War colorist Morry Hollowell. Set before, during and after the events of Civil War, each issue of CIVIL WAR: UNMASKED spotlights unseen stories of some of the era’s key players: IRON MAN, SPIDER-MAN, GOLIATH, TIGRA, and CAPTAIN AMERICA.
The original Civil War went on to become one of Marvel’s best-selling collections and the inspiration behind sequels, films, video games, and more. CIVIL WAR: UNMASKED celebrates its legacy by recapturing the exciting spirit of the era and shedding light on its most historic developments from Iron Man and Captain America’s morally complex feud to Spider-Man’s shocking unmasking. An anniversary series two decades in the making, the sagas will be packed with twists and surprises, including ones that will impact present-day storytelling.
It begins with an urgent mission from Bishop that takes Tony Stark into the Days of Future Past timeline, where the revelation of the apocalyptic future changes everything Tony thought he knew about the consequences of the Superhuman Registration Act.
On his personal connection to Civil War, Gage explained, “In 2006, I was a rookie comic book writer when a short delay in the production of the epic Civil War event limited series led to me being offered the one-shot Iron Man/Captain America: Casualties of War. It was my first really high profile project at Marvel, a big hit, and 20 years later, they still haven't managed to get rid of me! So it's a thrill and an honor to revisit that troubled time with CIVIL WAR: UNMASKED, in which I have the privilege of joining with brilliant artist Edgar Salazar and trend-setting original Civil War colorist Morry Hollowell to reveal never-before-told stories from that milestone event!”
Check out the main cover by Geoff Shaw along with a variant cover by original Civil War superstar Steve McNiven and preorder CIVIL WAR: UNMASKED at your local comic shop today! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

SKYBOUND, IMAGE & HASBRO REVEAL RISK'S SECRET ORIGIN IN NEW G.I. JOE ARC
The Hunt for Energon Begins! Secrets Uncovered! And Terrifying New Threats Loom!
“It's really nice to see the larger scope of the continuity in the Energon Universe beginning to assert itself more and more as the series continues.” – You Don’t Read Comics
“Plenty of kickass moments” – AIPT Comics
After the stunning conclusion to DREADNOK WAR, the Joes and Cobra are in a race to find Energon across the world, but Crystal Ball (making his Energon Universe first appearance) has other ideas, and some D.I.R.E. new tricks up his sleeve. And as the secret origin of G.I. Joe's most unpredictable member Risk is revealed, the future of Joe and Cobra will change forever when Baroness and Destro meet again...
"One of the things I've loved about working in the Energon Universe is that we've created a world that lets us explore the G.I. JOE mythology using different genres. And with these three issues we're taking the team into a horror story.” said writer Joshua Williamson. “We used some of those tools in the Cobra Commander mini-series two years ago, so it's awesome that we're revisiting that kind of story with Andrea Milana again! Be ready for some action-packed horror! Lots of surprises as these issues help set up the next massive storyline that hits the Energon Universe."
"This action-packed arc has it all--adventure, horror, a new villain, and the origin of Risk,” noted Executive Editor Ben Abernathy. “We have a lot of pieces coming into alignment as we build toward our epic 25th issue!”
This three-issue story arc of G.I. JOE from #22-24 includes main covers by Tom Reilly, additional open to order covers by Joshua Cassara (X-Force) & Romulo Fajardo Jr. (Wonder Woman), Ben Oliver (Vengeance of Vampirella), and incentive variants including 1:25 by Tonči Zonjić (Shadowman) and 1:50 by Andrea Milana.

CONNOR GOLDSMITH, HOST OF THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED PODCAST CEREBRO, MAKES HIS COMICS DEBUT WITH DID YOU HEAR ABOUT MIMI GREEN?, CO-CREATED WITH GLAAD MEDIA AWARD—WINNING ARTIST, JOSH CORNILLON
Did You Hear About Mimi Green?
Silent Hill meets The Substance in this twisted, wry Hollywood horror story where appearances aren’t everything.
About Did You Hear About Mimi Green?:
Tastemaker Mimi Green is a popular essayist with a perfectly curated social media presence—until a blog post she wrote a decade ago, cruelly mocking fat people, resurfaces and sparks a viral furor. Mimi checks into an isolated mental health facility in Topanga to ride out the scandal, but as sound baths and crystal healings by day give way to restless nights, she’s pulled into another version of the building. There, the halls are old and gluttonous and gilded, and the vainglorious like Mimi and her fellow patients are punished again and again. Only local bartender Natalie, the lesbian lover Mimi hid from the public, stands a chance of tracking her down before it’s too late.
“Developing my first comic with Josh has been a joy, and Ariana's lettering has pushed his gorgeous art even further,” said Goldsmith. “Did You Hear About Mimi Green? is a very personal story, and I'm so grateful Dark Horse understands what I'm trying to accomplish with this book. I am so proud of what we've made, and so excited we can finally talk about it!"
"Working on this story, from its first early germination years ago, to the full-fledged surreal dream that it has become, has been an absolute pleasure, and the chance to build this world from the ground up with Connor has been one of the most creatively fulfilling experiences I've had in my career,” added Cornillon. “I'm so excited that everyone who has had the chance to influence the book, from our brilliant editors, our stunning letterer Ariana, my color assistant Alex Buckland, and our community of supporters, has been able to understand our freaky and twisted vision for this world. I can't wait for readers to meet Mimi, I hope she survives the experience!"
Did You Hear About Mimi Green? #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops May 27, 2026. It is now available to preorder at your local comic shop for $4.99.
HELLBOY’S FAVORITE SUPERHERO TAKES CENTER STAGE IN YOUNG HELLBOY: THRILLING SKY ADVENTURES FROM MIKE MIGNOLA, THOMAS E. SNIEGOSKI, AND CRAIG ROUSSEAU
Young Hellboy: Thrilling Sky Adventures
This Comic Within a Comic Chronicles the Adventures of Hellboy’s Hero Scarlett Santiago, AKA The Sky Devil
Fans first met the swashbuckling airborne adventurer Scarlett Santiago in Mignola, Sniegoski, and Rousseau’s 2021 Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land, when she helped Hellboy and Professor Bruttenholm navigate an island of mysterious monsters and vampires. Now the pulp-inspired hero stars in her very own comic book, and young Hellboy is still her number one fan. In this comic adventure within a comic adventure, Scarlett Santiago may have vanquished too many villains and made too many enemies to keep a low profile on the streets anymore. To keep herself safe and defeat the bad guys who are after her, she teams up with a mysterious, feline figure who has similar goals.The new heroic duo goes toe to toe with new dastardly foes in a series that’s sure to entertain Hellboy and Hellboy’s fans alike.
“Since wrapping up the Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land, I’d been thinking about Scarlett Santiago, the Sky Devil, and how much we still didn’t know about her past adventures (before being possessed by the spirit of a giant ape god),” Explains writer Thomas E. Sniegoski. “I was hoping that there would be a way to tell some of Sky Devil’s earlier exploits, and with Thrilling Sky Adventures, we’re getting to do just that. The whole team has excitedly returned, Mike Mignola and I coming up with the story, Craig Rousseau on art, Chris O’Halloran on colors and Clem Robins doing the lettering. The series is coming out great, and I can’t wait for folks to be immersed in its pulpy goodness!”
“Having the opportunity to work on more Young Hellboy is an absolute treat,” says artist Craig Rousseau. “It’s fun working with some of my all time favorite creative partners to expand on the story of Scarlett Santiago, Sky Devil and introduce The Ghost Leopard. Every script gets bigger and crazier and Tom and Mike know how to write some wild pulpy adventure to expand her backstory (and getting me to draw gangsters, biplanes, wild animals, crazy monsters and so much more). Speaking of which, back to the drawing board!”
Praise for Young Hellboy
“A loving tribute to the pulp adventure stories of the 1930s.”―FORBES
“Totally fun.”―COMICS BEAT
“Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land has all the things you really want from a Mignola comic: Hellboy being sassy, danger overcome in unexpected ways, giant monsters, giant gorillas, plus a healthy serving of new characters, unexpected additions like dinosaurs, and perhaps a tie into the larger world (that remains to be seen, just my theory for now). … The most exhilarating thing about the Young Hellboy series though is the artwork by Craig Rousseau.”—COMICBOOK.COM
“Intriguing.”―SYFY WIRE
“Packs a lot of punch from a mysterious island, vampire queens, dinosaurs, giant ape gods, and the Sky Devil herself.”—AIPT
“A delightful throwback to globe-trotting adventure films, mixed with the supernatural elements that have come to define the Hellboy mythos. It’s also easily accessible to new readers and a deeper exploration of Hellboy’s life for longtime fans.”—BUT WHY THO
“It’s King Kong style fun!”—MONKEYS FIGHTING ROBOTS
“Thomas Sniegoski and Mike Mignola are clearly having a blast with this one, and their joy is our gain. Young Hellboy is a rip-roaring fun time, hitting all the right notes of a world-hopping pulp adventure.”—THE PULL BOX
“I can imagine it being performed on the radio back in the 1940s, popping off the pages of a John Carter book, or coming to life in a Howling Commandos comic. The joy is in which terrible thing our characters will come across next and how they will get out of it. This is a really great way to introduce Hellboy to younger readers! The script is fast paced, and the art is a lot of fun.”— FANBASE PRESS
“Delightful.”—GEEK DAD
“A vibrant and wonderful comic – an issue that left me with a smile on my face.”―FLICKERING MYTH
“I am an unabashed Hellboy fan. I love it. The mythology that Mignola created is in my top favorite media creations. So, when I say that this comic is good, I mean it. It easily stacks up to all the other Hellboy I’ve read. You don’t lose anything by reading about him as a youngster. In fact, you get a bit more extra sass, and giant crabs!”—FANGIRL NATION
“Shares a lot of its DNA with adventures like Flash Gordon, Indiana Jones, and Tarzan. There’s an aspect where it doesn’t take itself too seriously and knows exactly what it wants to be and that’s a lot of fun.”―GRAPHIC POLICY
“Craig Rousseau’s art style is perfect for YOUNG HELLBOY... Rousseau’s expressive faces and the fluidity of movement helps drive the action and excitement.”— CONSKIPPER
“Hellboy’s younger years are fertile storytelling ground.”—BIFF BAM POP
“Thrilling.”—SUPER POWERED FANCAST
“Wonderful.”—IMPULSE GAMER

'IDW CRIME' IMPRINT BRINGS THE SHOCKS & THRILLS OF TRUE CRIME & CULT STORIES TO COMICS
IDW's NEW IMPRINT BEGINS WITH 'SEVEN WIVES' THIS MAY
"Crime has a deep, often under-celebrated history in comics, from hard-boiled noir to social thrillers that pushed the medium to be bolder, sharper, and more adult,” commented Senior Group Editor Heather Antos. “With the IDW Crime imprint, we’re honoring that legacy while giving it a modern spotlight — elevating creator-driven stories that feel urgent, character-forward, and unapologetically human. These are stories about obsession, consequence, and the ability to hold a mirror up to society, and we couldn’t be more excited to help bring them back to the forefront of mainstream comics.”
This May, the shocks begin with SEVEN WIVES from writer Zoe Tunnell (Sink Your Teeth In) and rising star artists V Gagnon and Tesslyn Bergin-Dicoi. Forty-nine witnesses, seven wives, one dead husband… Who’s the murderer? As two detectives investigate a death at a Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints compound in remote Arizona, the dark mystery will unravel the horrors of brainwashing and deliver a compelling whodunit that will leave readers guessing until the very end.
The launch titles from the IDW CRIME imprint are all three issue limited series, each one 40+ pages for only $4.99 USD. Contact a comic shop near you to pre-order the debut issues of SEVEN WIVES, KILLER INFLUENCES, and FIXATION.
Covers by Mirka Andolfo, V Gagnon, Matt Wilson, Serena Mercado
YAN VOL. 3
Publisher: Titan Manga
SC, 368 pages, B&W, $24.99
Winner of the Golden Comic Award, this third volume can be enjoyed in English for the first time as battles become even more intense and the stakes are even higher.
From award-winning creator of Baby and The Hidden Level, Chang Sheng delivers an elaborately detailed and genre-defying story alongside stunning artwork, to take readers from traditional Peking Opera performances to a dystopian Taiwan controlled by A.I.
Golden Comic Award-winning series Yan returns with its most haunting chapter yet. In a comic landscape where Taiwan’s graphic novel scene continues to flourish, Yan Volume 3 stands as a bold testament to the heights of storytelling the medium can reach and genres it seamlessly fuses.
Still reeling from revelations about her family’s brutal murder, the resurrected Peking Opera performer Tieh-Hua delves deeper into a tangled web of supernatural vengeance and time-warped conspiracies. As she closes in on those responsible, her bond with Higa-Mirai—a missing Go prodigy cursed with visions of the future—grows, complicating her pursuit of justice. Meanwhile, Detective Lei wrestles with a reality shattered by ghosts, time travelers, and corrupted power structures, forcing him to question everything he thought he stood for.
Set across modern-day Taiwan and a fractured, dystopian future, Yan Volume 3 pushes the boundaries of sci-fi, horror, and noir. With eerie precision and cinematic flair, Chang Sheng constructs a world where the past refuses to stay buried and the future is constantly rewriting itself.
Visceral, gripping, and unapologetically strange, this volume is essential reading for fans of supernatural thrillers and lovers of bold, innovative comics.

In Hidden Springs:
A retirement community field trip for a group of aging ex-Hollywood stars turns towards the bizarre when they encounter a baby KAIJU on the run from military agents. Bonding quickly with the creature, the cantankerous cadre of former celebrities have to somehow get the kaiju to safety—before it causes the end of the world!
“Hidden Springs is a fun chase thriller with a difference - the difference being that a bunch of decrepit old Hollywood actors, a Director, a rock star, a comedian and a guy who MAY have been a hitman, have to get a baby Kaiju back to its ocean home before the military lock them away for what’s left of their natural lives,” says writer Rob Williams.
“It’s a story about finding something vital and important inside yourself, something worth fighting for, just at a point in your life when you’ve become convinced there’s nothing left. It’s filled with characters I’ve grown to love and, collaborating with Nil Vendrell and the team, it’s been a complete joy to bring to life.”
