You're Now Invited to the Grand Opening of Watson Productions! Spinning out of Mary Jane: Face It, Tiger and Queen in Black comes an all-new adventure for one of the most beloved characters in Spider-Man's world.

But when Chameleon sets his sights on sabotage, Mary Jane will need to use every tool in her arsenal — including a top secret gift from Venom — to come out on top.

In the fallout from this summer's highly anticipated crossover event Queen in Black, Eddie Brock and Venom will find themselves reunited while soon-to-be-former host of Venom Mary Jane Watson will once again strike out on her own!

The two new series launching this fall will showcase new adventures and status quos for Eddie Brock, freshly reunited with Venom and once again the Lethal Protector, and Mary Jane Watson, now separated from the symbiote and launching her own business venture in New York City with a supporting cast that includes Black Cat, Iron Man, and more.

Fan-favorite writer Charles Soule bonds with red-hot artist Tommaso Bianchi to reveal the secrets behind Eddie and Venom's reunification and detail the next steps for the former King in Black in Venom #1, a new ongoing series launching in October.

"I am so thrilled to be relaunching Venom with an all-new #1 this October with art by Tommaso Bianchi, who is doing astonishing work. Every panel leaps off the page into your eyeballs, it takes up room, it nests in your mind, which is a good thing in this case. We are doing new things with the character that have not been done before. It is thrilling, it is fast-paced, and perhaps a bit provocative. Venom is the best. Venom rules. Venom. Venom. Venom."

Charles Soule, Writer — Venom

Having been bonded to the Venom symbiote for the past several months following the events of Venom War, Mary Jane Watson emerges from Queen in Black with a new lease on life, new career ambitions, and… a top-secret gift? Rising star writer Ashley Allen (X-Men: Tomb of Apocalypse) and legendary artist Phil Noto (Daredevil) are teaming up to pull back the curtain on Friendly Neighborhood Mary Jane, a five issue limited series, beginning this November.

"I'm so excited to be taking Mary Jane on this next chapter! MJ has always understood people in a way few can, and that's what makes this series so exciting to write. While we hinted at what's coming in Face It, Tiger, MJ's ready to plot her own story… even if it's from behind the camera. But entertainment's not all it's cracked up to be, and MJ's storytelling ambitions might put her in the direct path of someone who views her empathy as a threat to their plans."

Ashley Allen, Writer — Friendly Neighborhood Mary Jane
