Hallows’ Eve, a new character introduced in the latest issue of Amazing Spider-Man and a major player in the upcoming Dark Web crossover event, will spin off into her own miniseries next March.
Writer Erica Schultz and artist Michael Dowling will chronicle the story of Janine Godbe, the longtime girlfriend of Spider-Clone Ben Reilly, who took on the new identity with a little help from the Goblin Queen, aka Madelyne Pryor (also a clone!).
“Having the opportunity to pen a character’s first solo miniseries is incredibly exciting and incredibly nerve racking!” Schultz told Marvel.com. “Despite Janine having been created in the 90s, this is the first time we’ll see her on her own for more than just a few pages. I really hope fans enjoy a deeper look into Janine and what makes her tick.”
The miniseries was announced during the New York Comic Con last month, but Marvel has revealed more details on what to expect from it:
Janine Godbe’s world has been blown up several times in her life, but after the events of DARK WEB, she’s in control of her future for the first time in years. With a bag of super-powered masks and a chip on her shoulder, Janine’s crime spree as Hallows’ Eve puts her on the run from the police, but there’s someone else after her too… someone seeking to take her newfound power for themselves!
The Dark Web event will feature Janine’s boyfriend, who now goes by the name of Chasm, teaming up with The Goblin Queen to make life miserable for Peter Parker, the X-Men, Venom and more. Amazing Spider-Man #14, which came out a week ago, serves as a prelude for the story and introduced Hallows’ Eve.
Hallows’ Eve #1, the first of a five-issue miniseries, arrives in stores March 1.
