Spider-Woman Vol. 7 #21- 'And Now Everything Happens'

Released March 30th, 2022

Written by Karla Pacheco

Drawn by Pere Perez

Colours by Frank D'Armata

Letters by VC's Travis Lanham

Cover: Junggeon Yoon,

Variants by Pere Perez & Frank D'Armata; David Nakayama

Editors: Lindsay Cohick, Nick Lowe

SYNOPSIS (Courtesy of Wiki):

Outside her front door, Jessica Drew comes face to face with the Anti-Arach9 who attack her home as Jess saves the pizza guy from a crashing monster truck. Getting into her super suit, Jessica reflects on her past encounters with her enemies newly united-- except the truck driver, he remains a mystery to her. Unsurprised to find Octavia Vermis among them, she notes the team name branding before climbing up, calling Carol to evacuate Rebecca and Gerry from the scene. Carol agrees and removes them via flying away from the scene, despite Rebecca's protest to want to help given that her father is among the villains. Inside, Lady Bullseye is accompanied by Los Espadas Gemelas as they race to the roof via the stairs, but are intercepted by Lindsay McCabe. While Lindsay does her best with a child's high seat, she is knocked down by Los Espadas and takes injury.

On the roof, Jess fights the Brothers Grimm noting she doesn't keep them in mind, and Stegron attacking her for her recent past theft[1] but he doesn't attack Octavia due to his attraction to her. Overpowering Jess, he throws her threw several floors onto Los Espadas, luckily rescuing Lindsay. As Stegron charges, Jess informs him that Octavia helped steal his DNA for a cure for Jess's condition[2] and showcases her recovery by countering his attack with a body throw into the wall. Ignoring a bad joke from Lindsay, Jess gets Lady Bullseye's attention recalling the jetpack incident[3] but throws her into the path of Barton Grimes's attack, handing Lindsay her katana. Attacking Percy mistaking him for Barton, Jess just tells him that she fought them long ago and barely even remembers them, not sure why they're attacking now.

Flanked by Los Espadas, they nearly overwhelm Jess until Lindsay joins in and uses the katana to deflect a pierce by Ray and crushed both of his robotic hands. Jess and Lindsay cooperate to takedown the swashbuckling brothers, cracking wise sending them back to Ohio despite not being from there. Leaving Lindsay to go face her enemies, Jess is blindsided by a sudden thwip and brought before Octavia and the rest of the Anti-Arach9 taking turns beating on her.

Carol returns with a tactical helicopter from Rebecca's persuasion, as the cargo container attached to it is equipped with a T-Rex with gatling guns for arms, ridden by Rebecca in her combat gear. Rebecca attacks her father Aeternum for his return, voicing how it was his blinded ambition and easy manipulation by Rose Roché that turned him into a villain. Jess intercepts Rose before she can interfere with Rebecca's fight, breaking Rose's arms equipped with magic bracers, drawing Aeternum's attention for a fight.

At the front door, Krazy Goat (Perry P. Parish) awakens to an auditory hallucination of his departed wife's image. Reminding him that their dream monster truck was meant for love not revenge, and he hears her say she knows he'll do the right thing. As Jess is on the ground in pain, counting down how many of them she took down and debating if the Grimms or Espadas count as one or two, Rebecca swats her father off of Jess. However, Octavia throws her pet at Rebecca to then hijack her tactical assault t-rex, and readies to attack Jess. But Krazy Goat arrives in time to ram the T-Rex and send Octavia flying, and Jess beats her down without care for her rant about how she and her are similar. Dispatching a fury of attacks, Jess finishes her combo with a Venom Blast Kick to Octavia's skull, knocking her out.

Tired, Jess rests for a second while Lindsay still asks if they're still going to Madripoor and Jess painfully confirms. Once Carol arrives with Gerry and Rebecca asks their next step, Jess opts for the usual path and send the villains to a long term prison stint, even if it is doubtful. Still needing to catch her flight with Lindsay, and wash her suit smelling of dinosaur, she plans to gather what remains of their luggage. Across from them, Perry calls for a tow truck and uses his gold auto club membership to expedite the process. After Jess is recomposed, she situates herself on a rooftop overlooking the city, reflecting on her unfinished business and expects an adventure. She is Jessica Drew, and she is Spider-Woman.

Spider-Woman Vol. 7 #20- 'Absolutely Nothing Is Going to Happen'

Released March 2nd, 2022

Written by Karla Pacheco

Drawn by Pere Perez

Colours by Frank D'Armata

Letters by VC's Travis Lanham

Cover: Junggeon Yoon,

Variants by Pere Perez & Frank D'Armata; Peach Momoko

and David Talaski

Editors: Lindsay Cohick, Nick Lowe

SYNOPSIS (Courtesy of Wiki):

In the secret lair of Octavia Vermis, definitely not the back room of the Times Square Rainforest Cafe, she stands with Rose Roché and Aeturnum to welcome their guests to be apart of their new supervillain team-- The Anti-Arach9. Each with a vendetta against Spider-Woman, thus together they can achieve their desired claim to victory. After Octavia invites the attendees to the buffet she prepared, Stegron mentions to Aeturnum that Rebecca would likely disapprove of his being a villain. Aeturnum believes she'll come around citing Rose's "reasoning" of removing Spider-Woman will then convince Rebecca. After Octavia voices a snide remark about teenagers and reason, Stegron reveals to Aeturnum that he originally wanted vengeance on Octavia[1] but now joined out of attraction to her new dino-mutated form.

As Octavia debates with Rose about their membership, she notes Damian, former king of isopod moon beetles before Spider-Woman and Captain Marvel destroyed them[2], and Rose questions if all he'll do is roll up to her. In Central Park, a partly impatient Jessica is being taught Yang style Tai Chi by "Sifu" Lindsay, meant to release her natural energies to help heal her faster. After Gerry dubs Lindsay "Auntie Seafood" much to her chagrin while Jess feels reenergized, Lindsay feels concerned about her since Fisk's big push, Damian finds Jess questioning her return to hero duty. After she hastily stops Gerry from eating a "gross" bug, Damian attack rolls at them. However, he did so into traffic and caused a light traffic jam getting hit by a car, not noteworthy to them as they go to lunch. Stegron updates Octavia, and she removes his name from consideration.

The All-New Seekers set up asking for vengeance on Spider-Woman, but Rose notes her being hired and failing against Spider-Woman before,[3] asking back their deposit. Fireball retorts that she now has backing from Jenn & Tonic, the Mad Contortionist and Demented Surgeon Extraordinaire, as well as Irish Assassin Chad O'Nay. The former pair in search of a nemesis to cement their names. Rose and Aeturnum are flabbergasted by "Jen and Tonic" as some wet bar joke, but allow them to head out and battle Spider-Woman to prove their mettle. At lunch, Lindsay inquires what Jess may do if she won't returning to heroism, Jess thinks about reviving their old detective agency but recalls Lindsay's debt to O'Nay. While Lindsay justifies her actions, Jess apologizes again for leaving her alone at the film set, but Lindsay understands having hated Veranke's hurting Jess years prior.[4] As Lindsay mentions needing to resolve her issue with O'Nay, he arrives with Jenn & Tonic ready to fight, as Jess stands ready to hurt them.

Later, Rose sees no damage on them, as Fireball explains Jess verbally abused them to the point of tears, returning with no results. Stegron comforts Jenn & Tonic, as O'Nay is too humiliated to return to Madripoor and plans to head back to art school. The Brothers Grimm chide fellow sibling villain troupe Los Espadas Gemelas De Toledo, free after escaping prison, for "stealing their act" despite such a matter being common now. Los Espadas swear to have their vengeance on Spider-Woman, but after two exhausting hours in battle return defeated and younger brother Luis having lost his left hand as well. As Aeturnum notes the team name is "Arach-NINE", Ray and Luis count themselves as "one soul" while the Brothers Grimm acknowledge themselves as two, making three slots by Octavia's count.

But Stegron notes the unknown character in the "Krazy Goat" heliotrope purple jacket, identified as Perry P Perish. Explaining he wanted vengeance on Spider-Woman for destroying his monster truck, a final gift from his late wife, when pursuing Bruiser.[3] Uncaring to his backstory, Octavia asks he go at Spider-Woman, but he reveals he already did so as Jess returns home to find her prize motorcycle destroyed. As Krazy Goat eats his lunch, the other villains stare in amazement and grant him membership. Counting eight members technically, Octavia doesn't mind since the name is branding and Stegron notes another two for membership- Bruiser and Lady Bullseye. Considering the two's failed past encounter, Octavia passes on them but Aeturnum persuades Rose to allow it as Bruiser worked on his presentation, but Lady Bullseye downs him growing impatient and is granted membership.

Explaining their arrivals to New York City, Octavia escaped with a pet when High Evolutionary was distracted, while Rose and Aeturnum simply drove from the Hamptons going stir crazy with boredom. Finally called to order, the Anti-Arach9 finally assemble to deliver vengeance upon Spider-Woman. At Jess's apartment, Carol plays with Gerry as Jess prepares a travel bag for Madripoor to settle Lindsay's debt with O'Nay. Jess nudges Rebecca to finally talk to her hero, as Carol voices concern about their trip to Madripoor. Teasing Rebecca for wanting Carol to sign her Build-A-Bear dressed like her, Jess expresses it's a normal part of having family. When Rebecca asks about the pizza order Jess made, Lindsay is stunned she let her considering Jess's topping choices, with a sickened Carol voicing she won't miss her. Arriving at the front door, Jess feels guilty not ordering a pepperoni for the others just as the Anti-Arach9 arrive behind the pizza guy.

Spider-Woman Vol. 7 #19- 'The Devil You Know'

Released February 9th, 2022

Written by Karla Pacheco

Drawn by Pere Perez

Colours by Frank D'Armata

Letters by VC's Travis Lanham

Cover: Junggeon Yoon,

Variants by Pere Perez & Frank D'Armata

Editors: Lindsay Cohick, Nick Lowe

SYNOPSIS (Courtesy of Wiki):

As Gerry can tell Veranke's impersonation isn't his mother, her odd behavior leads a suspicious Linda to ask about the arm cast that Jess was supposed to be wearing. Breaking character to strike her, Spider-Woman arrives to attack Veranke but the Thunderbolt Units truck escapes with Gerry. As Jess starts to run after the truck, telling Linda about helping Lindsay in hospital, Veranke attempts to keep her around. But while Veranke can still use Jess's powers when in her form, she's out of practice and form having been in a cell since Norman originally killed her.[2]

With the truck stuck in gridlock, Jess instead finds the back is empty when Iron Man arrives to help. But Jess easily deduces it was Veranke playing mind games, as the real Tony would have made an insult upon arrival. She drops the act remembering how much her friends 'hate' her, even bringing up making out with Tony when impersonating Jess. When Veranke battles Jess in the back of the truck, her powers only mimic the armor as she's still flesh and Jess stuns her as the truck goes over the bridge.

Moments earlier, Gerry wall-crawled and venom blasted the driver, crashing the truck over into a garbage scow. Getting out, Jess blasts Spider-Man believing him another Veranke play, but it was really him sent by Linda. Halfheartedly apologizing as she races to Gerry, she finds Carol holding him still thinking it is Veranke until another Carol shows up. Confused and willing to zap both, Gerry asks "bad Cawol?" and Jess asks he blast the bad one, with Gerry shooting the correct Veranke.

Although willing to help, Jess demands Carol flee with Gerry while she fights to resolve Veranke alone. While Veranke taunts that she "honored" Jess by impersonating her, she rages at regretting ever having done so not knowing why she ever saw leadership material in Jess. Ambivalent to Veranke's madness and humiliation, Jess counters the Skrull as she changes faces in failed psych attacks playing as people Jess cares for. The unfazed Jess venom blasts Veranke point blank on her skull until she's unconscious.

Worried for Lindsay, Carol updates Jess that Linda got her somewhere safe in time, and she hugs her baby in relief. However, with their situation hard pressed for time with Fisk's play,[3] Carol asks what to do about Veranke and Jess convinces her to stuff her somewhere secure on the garbage scow. At the hospital, Jess updates and apologizes to Lindsay, who reassures Jess she's fine. As Lindsay brings up having been in plenty of trouble before, Jess is wager to discuss the Irish Ninjas with her soon.

Across the stress, a sniper named Mr. O'Nay calls Octavia Vermis having Jess in his crosshairs, willing to kill her immediately. However, Vermis refutes his request finding it unsporting to attack Jess now after such a challenging day. As Vermis wants Spider-Woman to feel safe again, before she faces her new foes: The Anti-Arachnine. Among whom include Aeturnum with Rose Roché, and the brothers Los Espadas Gemelas De Toledo.

Spider-Woman is in mid-fight with the Serpent Society, trying to find out who is behind the abduction of her friend Lindsay McCabe. Despite her dominance over the likes of Puff Adder and Whiplash, Jess is unable to get a name out of them, so she resorts to disarming one fof the armoured guards and abducting him for further question.

After a short visit in the guise of an armoured guard, Jess returns to her safehouse where she has the captured guard for interrogation. It's finally revealed to her that Kingpin is behind it all, so Spider-Woman visits him at his mansion before the two engage in a vicious battle.

Kingpin reveals that not only is it Jessica's own fault for Lindsay's current condition, but also that he has released a nemesis that Jess fears the most. Information on her family is given to the mysterious villain, whom Kingpin released from ravencroft in the hope of distracting Jessica and keeping her busy whilst he continues his mission to rid the city of super heroes.

Slowly, Jess realises the gravity of the situation…and who indeed the villain could be. The enemy that will cause no end of grief for Jess slowly appears - Kingpin recalls that it was they who masqueraded as Jessica in order to capture Lindsay; and the captive guard at Jess' safehouse slowly transforms to it's true form…

Jess panics and departs Kingpin's mansion, fearful of her son Gerry and his safety. Veranke, now totally free, makes her way to Jessica's home and disguises herself as Spider-Woman before the front door is answered by an unsuspecting Night Nurse and Gerry…

Written by Karla Pacheco

Drawn by Pere Perez

Colours by Frank D'Armata

Letters by VC's Travis Lanham

Cover: Junggeon Yoon,

Variants by Pere Perez & Frank D'Armata

Production Designer: Anthony Gambino

Editors: Lindsay Cohick, Nick Lowe

SYNOPSIS (Courtesy of Wiki):

At the East Harlem clinic of Linda Carter, Linda tells a frustrated Jess that she is delaying her full recovery by moving her broken arm too much, and cannot use her powers until it is healed or risk further bracing in a cast. Begrudgingly agreeing to doctor's orders, Jess asks Linda to baby sit Gerry while she visits Lindsey working as a stuntwoman for film star, Stevie Ciconia, claiming herself a Spider-Woman fan and requesting the heroine visit. There, while bemused by other film projects, Spider-Woman meets Stevie who wanted to know if she could get in touch with the Avengers to help with free press on Stevie's film. Heading to the set of the next scene, Jess hangs with stunt coordinator Gunnar, who shows Jess the sequence just before it is carried out by Lindsey.

Seeing Lindsey finish and be cleaned off of her flame retardant stunt layers, the set is attacked by actual ninjas sent for Lindsey by Madripoor gangster, Mack Duffin. Unable to use her Venom Blasts due to her broken arm, Spider-Woman is forced into melee combat with the ninjas, then asks Lindsey if she's a good mother.

While Lindsey believes her to be so, Spider-Woman feels as though she has been shifting her responsibilities to be more active as a superhero. Taking down the last ninja, Jess finds that Gunnar was filming their fight and was interested in getting her to do more stunt work, to which Jess politely refuses.

With the stunt team tying down the ninjas for the NYPD to take into custody, Stevie tries again to get the Avengers for her PR by brown-nosing Spider-Woman, who promises the actress's name will come up when next she talks with the Avengers. As the Ninjas are taken away, Jess voices concern for Lindsey's wellbeing while also adamant on talking about her taking money from gangsters from Madripoor. Wanting to talk after getting cleaned, Lindsey directs Jess to the craft services table where she pends the following 20 minutes eating up. However, upon her return to Lindsey's trailer, Jess is shocked to find it ransacked and the message "This is all your fault, Jessica Drew!" on the mirror. Jess questioning what the hell is happening.

Letters by VC's Clayton Cowles (Apparently Travis Lanham was on vacation)

Variants by Nabetse Zitro and Morry Hollowell, and Rob Liefeld

SYNOPSIS (Courtesy of Wiki):

While Rebecca practices to get familiar with her combat suit, Jess voices to Lindsey her reservations on letting her niece go into a superhuman fight. So on Lindsey's advice, Jess talks with Rebecca and, seeing her determination and physical capability, begrudgingly agrees to bring her into the fray. Later, Rebecca directs Jess to help infiltrate her dad's company again to retrieve "backup" and the topic also brings up the cure for her condition, which Rebecca refuses to take. Entering the break room, Rebecca destroys a pool table and breaks into a safe to vent her frustrations on her father's easy manipulation by Rose, even though Jess tries rationalizing Michael's steadfast obsession to finding a cure. But once Rebecca finds what she was after, Rose and Michael enter the room, with Michael's monologuing on Rebecca becoming "normal" is clear that Rose is leading him.

An enraged Rebecca attacks both of them out the window, falling past the windows of a residential building as Jess tries to communicate the need to not endanger civilians while also learning Michael has organic web-shooters because the male Latrodectus Aeternum spin webs, and she's miffed at not having that ability.

At ground level, Jess tries to get Rebecca to think, but Rebecca's immediate comment leads her to realize that she wasn't truly prepared, even blaming herself for events thinking that none of Rose's manipulations would have occurred had she just been cured. After hugging and one bad joke later, Jess and Rebecca move to confront Rose and Aeternum. Elsewhere, Rose is on her cell calling for a trace when a momentarily clear-minded Michael asks if she did try to kill Rebecca. When Rose dodges with a question, Michael gets aggressive and both are soon found by Jess and Rebecca, leading to Jess fighting Michael while Rebecca fights Rose. But while Jess tries to reason that Michael stop to help Rebecca instead of controlling what he thinks is best for her, Michael takes Jess over the ledge just as Rose overpowers Rebecca in their fight. Michael breaks Jess's arm once they hit the street below, threatening to break more as he is stronger. With Rose distracted by Michael fighting Jess, Rebecca sneakattacks Rose to inject her with what she took from the safe, making a Wicked Witch joke as they plummet. Remembering her time on the serum, Jess entraps Michael in a close quarters maneuver to use her suit's ability to discharge concentrated Venom Blast through Michael's body.

On the street below, Rebecca finds her father burnt by Jess's Venom Blast but alive, as Jess sees Rose seemingly aged into a quinquagenarian. Rebecca reveals she was injected with the "flu shot" that was used to disable Jess's radiation immunity powers a while back; Michael told her where to find it in case of emergencies, the irony not lost on them finding a greater effect on Rose than on Jess. But as Jess has Avengers connections to rehabilitate them, she lets Rebecca choose and she chose to leave enough money in Michael's personal funds for them to leave town, threatening to stop them should they ever return for Jess or Gerry. As Michael departs after a tearful goodbye, Jess gives Rebecca a shoulder to cry on while heading to Linda Carter's for treatment. After what they went through, Rebecca makes no plans to be a superhero and aims to run the company to repair whatever damages Michael might have made in his obsession to fix her condition, and also invites Jess to play shortstop for the company softball team.

To Know Her Is To Fear Her!

Spider-Woman Vol. 7 #15

Released September 22nd, 2021

Written by Karla Pacheco

Drawn by Pere Perez

Colours by Frank D'Armata

Letters by VC's Clayton Cowles (Apparently Travis Lanham was on vacation)

Cover: Junggeon Yoon, Bengal Miles Morales 10 year anniversary variant.

Production Designer: Anthony Gambino

Editors: Lindsay Cohick, Nick Lowe

SYNOPSIS (Courtesy of Wiki):

Dazed and battered, Jess is nudged awake by Rebecca after she lost a fight with Michael, now dubbed Aeternum. Once conscious, Jess is panicked that she was flying in her sleep only to be updated on a bigger issue: there's a bomb in the back seat. With less then ten seconds, Jess grabs Rebecca and Marv, and the trio base jump from the exploding helicopter to glide to safety. Confused and unable to recall events, Rebecca informed Jess of her father having a meltdown before Rose used her pheromones to calm him and hypnotize Jess into taking her into the rigged helicopter, but Rebecca was conscious during her own hypnosis and remembered well. Too addled by events, Jess focuses on getting Rebecca to safety before thinking of how Rose controlled Michael. After a slight jest about Rebecca having a safe house with ponies, Jess immediately remembers that Rose knows where she lives, where Lindsey is babysitting Gerry.

As Rose's men break in and trash the apartment looking for the files, some of them attack Lindsey as she defends Gerry until Jess arrives in time to relieve Lindsey and dispatch the assailants. Escaping with the files and a to-go bag, Jess and Lindsey meet Rebecca in a Taxi directing to ESU where she gets special student housing after Michael made a generous donation.

Shocked that her niece is working on her Master's Degree, Jess promises Rebecca her father's safe return, before asking about her mother. Rebecca details her mother Alison Jones, how she and Michael fell in love after meeting, and how they were eventually pregnant with Rebecca. Then the radiation emissions from the pregnancy slowly killed Alison and crippled Rebecca at birth, with Michael later made aware of details by Miriam and the radiation in his DNA. Michael blamed himself for Alison's death and Rebecca's physical debilitation, motivated by his personal tragedies to help people.

Arriving at Rebecca's "quarters" on ESU, she reveals that she took research and tech from Miriam and Michael to fashion her own lab for remedying herself. Despite Jessica's plea that they approach Stark for the tech needed or return to Wyndham, Rebecca remains adamant that she isn't helpless and remains motivated to save her father. As Rebecca made her own Spider-Woman suit from the materials Miriam used way back, Lindsey applauds her ingenuity while trying to convince Jess to help. Initially refusing, Jess comes around when thinking about how her own life choices at Rebecca's age were taken from her, and agrees to help Rebecca. Once they suit up, Marv is also outfitted with tactical weaponry to accompany as well.

Spider-Woman Vol. 7 #14

Released August 18th, 2021

Written by Karla Pacheco

Drawn by Pere Perez

Colours by Frank D'Armata

Letters by VC's Travis Lanham

Cover: Junggeon Yoon, Netease Marvel Games Variant

Production Designer: Anthony Gambino

Editors: Lindsay Cohick, Nick Lowe

SYNOPSIS (Courtesy of Rey):

With Lindsay visiting from LA for a long needed catch-up and to look after Gerry, Jessica prepares to meet Michael, her brother, for an explanation as to why her apartment was set upon by mercenaries.

It appears Michael was behind it all, however he implores Jessica to give him a chance to explain. Arriving at Marchand pharmaceuticals, Jessica is greeted by Michael (complete with softball uniform) but it isn't long before they are interrupted by Rose Roche, Michae's assistant. Rose takes responsibility for having Jessica's house burgled and it's revealed that the copy of the Wyndham file given to Michael for his daughter Rebecca, came with a single-use only. Michael and Rose needed Jessica's files to continue their work, much to Jessica's disgust. What was meant to be a cure for Rebecca, seems to have turned out as an opportunity to mass produce and market Wyndham's genius.

Rose attacks Jessica revealing that Michael had used the Wyndham array on her, giving her powers, and they give Jessica an ultimatum - give them the Wyndham files...or else.

Jessica replies that she needs time to think about it and back at her apartment, both she and Lindsay decide to raid Marchand Pharmaceuticals to steal back what they can from Michael and Rose, in an effort to halt Michael's plans to reverse engineer the Wyndham technology.

With Gerry safely straddled in a carrier, both Jessica and Lindsay storm the entrance, before Jessica is left to carry out the rest of their mission by herself.

Rose suddenly appears and the two fight it out, resulting in them crashing through a wall and revealing Michael on an operating table, dosed with a hybrid formula of both the Marchand serum and Wyndham's array.

Michael's new transformation sees him as a monstrous version of himself, augmented with Spider powers and hell bent on destroying Jessica. Trading blows, Michael finally manages to web Jessica against a wall and deal out a deathblow when suddenly Rebecca appears, screaming for him to stop.

Michael pauses, reassuring Rebecca that he'll always be her Dad...but to everyone else, he is now called Aeternum!
