Warning: Preview for Edge of Spider-Verse #4 ahead!The Daily Bugle's very own J. Jonah Jameson has become a Spider-Verse hero with his new persona, Headline. The Spider-Verse is home to countless variants of the fan-favorite Marvel hero Spider-Man. However, it's not limited to just varying forms of Peter Parker. It's a multiverse that has seen multiple people of different backgrounds wear the mask including Miles Morales, Cindy Moon, Anya Corazon, Hobie Brown, Gwen Stacy and many more. This has opened the gates to letting anyone have a shot at swinging through the streets to save the day, including one surprising character who dedicated his life to exposing the webhead.
In a preview for Edge of Spider-Verse #4, the anthology features three different Spider-People from across the multiverse including Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man's Dream-Spider and the former Spider-Girl, Araña. However, the second story by Daniel Kibblesmith and ChrisCross is where things get interesting as a new Spider-Hero enters the Web of Life. None other than J. Jonah Jameson has donned the mask as he takes the name Headline to fight crime with a focus on news reporting. Take a look at Headline and the other heroes featured in this issue:
J. Jonah Jameson's Spider Persona Is Absolutely Perfect
The overall design for J. Jonah Jameson's Headline fits completely in line with who he is as a character. He actually sounds embarrassed to be a Spider-Hero based on the way he describes himself as "the idiot in the clown suit." As a result, he tries so hard to separate himself from Spider-Man with wild changes to his costume including a cape that's made entirely out of Daily Bugle newspapers. In addition, the way he acts is totally in character for him as he speaks like a reporter trying to get the scoop while fighting crime. It's all tied together beautifully with his signature mustache fully exposed from his half-mask.
Headline is an Interesting Evolution for J. Jonah Jameson
It's amazing to see just how far J. Jonah Jameson has come since he first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #1. He was constantly seen as the civilian antagonist to Spider-Man as he worked day and night to paint the hero as a menace to New York. However, over the years, he's come to grow a soft side within the Marvel universe, even ing Silk during her fight with a Korean witch. Now he's officially a part of the Spider-Verse with a suit beautifully shown in a Tweet by artist ChrisCross that shows off the full design of his Headline outfit. J. Jonah Jameson has finally come full circle from a hater of Spider-Man to becoming a Spider-Hero himself.
Fans can see Headline in action when Edge of Spider-Verse #4 hits comic stands on July 5. This isn't going to be an issue to miss as it serves as a sequel to the nightmare fuel Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man series and a further glimpse into Araña's world. However, J. Jonah Jameson's new Spider-Verse persona Headline will undoubtedly be the highlight of the anthology as he turns into the very thing he sought to destroy for years and becomes the latest hero with spider powers.
