Just Two Spider-Gals Bein’ Spider-Pals in Our Exclusive Preview of Mary Jane/Black Cat Beyond #1

Mary Jane Watson. Felicia Hardy. What do these two ladies have in common? They’re both friends with Peter Parker, aka one of several Spider-Men. Ol’ Pete’s laid up in the hospital on account of some stuff happening in his ongoing title that this particular editor isn’t paying too close attention to at the moment.

Anyway, when The Hood comes a-calling – you guys remember The Hood, right? He had a red hood and for a while he commanded all the criminals in New York? Bendis loved him? – Felicia, aka Black Cat, pulls MJ into a heist. Writer Jed MacKay and artist C.F. Villa return to Black Cat for one last job in this Beyond-era one-shot. Check out our exclusive preview below, followed by that sweet, sweet solicit text.

• Black Cat has been kidnapped, and the only person who can save her is… MARY JANE WATSON?!
• Mary Jane has never liked Felicia Hardy, and now she has to save her life?!
• But remember, this is the Black Cat we’re talking about. Things are never quite what they seem.
