Announced at the Marvel Gang War panel yesterday at New York Comic Con with Zeb Wells, Erica Schultz, Greg Pak, C.B. Cebulski, and Nick Lowe was the news that Mary-Jane Watson would get a spinoff comic of her own. In her superhero persona Jackpot by writer Celeste Bronfman and artist Joey Vazquez. Bronfman previously wrote a Jackpot story in Amazing Spider-Man #31, the comic that kicked off the current Gang War storyline at Marvel.`

While the new character of Spider-Boy would also get a Gang War comic book as part of the digital-only Marvel Unlimited comic from writer Preeti Chhibber and artist E.J. Su.

Gang War sees the aftermath of a drive-by shooting at a super-powered gang wedding, spilling out onto the streets of New York, with the crimelords of New York City, including Kingpin, Hobgoblin, Mr. Negative, the Owl, and more, taking part. It will also lead to the reunion of Kingpin and his wife, typhoid Wary, currently stuck in Vanaheim in the Reign Of X series. Amongst all this, Spider-Man rallies his own gang of superheroes to take down all super crime in just 48 hours, with Miles Morales, She-Hulk, Daredevil, Spider-Woman, and Luke Cage, and their missions, victories, and defeats will be told across various tie-in issues and limited series. And we got some more solicitation details as the crossover spills over into 2024, with Gang War solicits for January and February 2024.
