Jessica Drew to Make Her Comic Debut in Edge of Spider-Verse
Bleeding Cool reported that Jessica Drew from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is making her comic debut in the fourth issue of Edge of Spider-Verse.
Nilah Magruder and Alex Segura are writing the story while Marcus Williams and Salvador Larroca serve as the artists.
The filmmakers behind Across the Spider-Verse are also involved with the conception of the character's comic debut.
They also teased that readers will be able to "witness the true birth of the Spider-Society setting up the next Spider-Verse storytelling epic."
It is slated to be available on comic book stands this May.
This is not the first time that Across the Spider-Verse made its jump to the comic pages as they also released a manga spinoff titled Spider-Man: Octopus Girl written by Hideyuki Furuhashi.
It focuses on Doctor Octopus as he falls into a coma and wakes up as a Japanese middle school student named Otoha Okutamiya.
Jessica Drew became an instant favorite when she was introduced in Across the Spider-Verse and fans will now be able to learn more about the character in her comic debut.
If her one-shot comic becomes a success, it wouldn't be surprising if they do more issues surrounding the other characters in the Spider-Verse films since all of them have interesting origin/solo stories to explore.
