Warning! Potential spoilers for Edge of Spider-Verse #1 by Marvel Comics
Marvel Comics is set to introduce a new variant of Black Cat from the Spider-Verse in an miniseries and the new antihero is arriving in style, stealing Mary Jane Watson's most iconic line. In new art from InHyuk Lee, Night-Spider copies MJ's very first line in Marvel Comics, telling readers, "Face it, Tiger. You just hit the jackpot!" It's quite an exciting way to introduce the new Spider-Verse hero.
The Spider-Verse will be revisited in a new Edge of Spider-Verse series from Marvel Comics, shining the spotlight on some lesser-known spider-heroes from across the Multiverse. Dan Slott, Mark Bagley, and Tee Franklin are among the creators contributing to the new Edge of Spider-Verse series, which will see several new web-slingers introduced throughout the five issues. At the same time, Spider-Man Noir, Sun-Spider, and Spider-Gwen will also return. Additionally, the series will lead into The End of Spider-Verse, a new event launching later in 2022.
On his Twitter , artist Inhyuk Lee shared his new variant cover for Edge of Spider-Verse #1 from Marvel Comics, which features Black Cat's spider-hero variant, Night-Spider. The cover art, which will be an exclusive cover available at KRS Comics and Big Time Collectibles, features Night-Spider stealing one of Mary Jane Watson's most iconic lines as she says, "Face it, tiger... You just hit the jackpot." Famously, the line was the first thing MJ ever said in Marvel Comics continuity, in her one-page debut in Amazing Spider-Man #25 by Stan Lee and John Romita Jr.
Black Cat's new Spider-Verse variant Night-Spider will debut in the Edge of Spider-Verse miniseries. She immediately is one of the most notable new characters, as her Kris Anka-designed costume brings the best elements from both Felicia Hardy and Spider-Man's best looks. The giant white spider-eyes, black and white details throughout her suit, and trademark white hair make for a great ensemble that will likely become a favorite of cosplayers.
It's fitting that Night-Spider is stealing Mary Jane Watson's most iconic line, not just because it takes the Felicia Hardy/MJ rival across the Spider-Verse, but because Black Cat is one of Marvel's greatest thieves. Night-Spider is following in her footsteps with a different kind of thievery. The variant cover art is a fun tribute to both characters. The InHyuk Lee Edge of Spider-Verse cover, exclusive to KRS Comics and Big Time Collectibles, featuring the Black Cat Spider-Verse variant, will be released when the new Marvel Comics miniseries arrives on August 3rd.
