This March, Marvel Comics will publish Jackpot And Black Cat, a new mini-series by Celeste Bronfman and Emilio Laiso following up on the recent Mary Jane & Black Cat series that span out of Amazing Spider-Man and Dark Web. And in which Mary Jane is continuing her superhero status with her Jackpot powers gained in another dimension.

"Felicia Hardy and Mary Jane Watson have always had more in common than they think, and this March, they'll combine their wits, expertise, and superpowers to take down an emerging new threat in JACKPOT AND BLACK CAT! The four-issue limited series is written by Celeste Bronfman, who penned both Mary Jane's first outing as Jackpot earlier this year in Amazing Spider-Man #925 and her first solo issue as Jackpot that hits stands in January. Bronfman will be joined by rising Marvel star Emilio Laiso, the acclaimed artist known for his recent work on Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men Unlimited. The series' covers will come from renowned artist Adam Hughes."

"After teaming up in Jed MacKay and C.F. Villa's Eisner-nominated Black Cat & Mary Jane: Beyond one-shot as well as the Mary Jane & Black Cat "Dark Web" tie-in series, Mary Jane and Felicia Hardy have risen to be one of Marvel's most dynamic duos. Now that Mary Jane is an up-and-coming super hero herself, they'll take their bond to the next level on an action-packed adventure to take down a villain that's blackmailing… EVERYONE, including Black Cat and Mary Jane. Tough choices and daring missions await as Mary Jane and Black Cat become entangled in a plot that's brought the world to its knees."

"LUCK BE THE LADIES! When someone blackmails Black Cat into a public and blatant crime spree, Jackpot comes to her aid! What classic Spider-Villain is behind the blackmail?! Someone with history with at least one of our titular heroines!"

"MJ's been a hero since day one, and I'm so excited to continue her journey as Jackpot – this time with Felicia Hardy by her side!" Bronfman shared. "Opposites attract, and I've always loved the push and pull of their friendship. Expect them to butt heads through heists, betrayals, and the unexpected!"

Jackpot And Black Cat #1 will be published in March.
