: They have a history together, they are total
: opposites in terms of powers, personalities
: and outlooks, and it's a way of making a
: female-led book that still has a popular guy
: in it (just so insecure fanboys are not
: "caught" buying a female book
: *groan*) Like Vanhelsin said, it could be a
: great old-school-type book. Heck, I would
: love to have Dan Slott write it...

: This is a one-shot as part of the upcoming

: "After Spider-Island sees Manhattan
: besieged by spider-powered civilians
: aplenty, you wouldn’t think another arachnid
: in the mix would help things, but
: Spider-Woman hopes to prove that thinking
: wrong. Jessica Drew arrives in New York City
: looking for a cure and ends up fighting
: side-by-side with the Future Foundation’s
: Thing in SPIDER-ISLAND: SPIDER-WOMAN, on

: SPIDER-ISLAND: SPIDER-WOMAN #1 cover by
: Stefano Caselli
:
: “In SPIDER-ISLAND: SPIDER-WOMAN, Jessica
: Drew goes on a very important mission from
: Reed Richards that dates back to one of her
: very first adventures—with [The Thing], in
: fact, [from] the pages of MARVEL
: TWO-IN-ONE,” says writer Fred Van Lente.
: “And that leads her into a head-to-head
: confrontation with a revamped villain from
: Spider-Woman's own rogue's gallery, now in
: cahoots with The Jackal.”
:
: Recent issues of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN revealed
: The Jackal instigating Spider-Island by
: releasing genetically-altered bed bugs
: carrying a unique virus into the couches and
: beds of everyone in Manhattan. In addition,
: the villain has recruited and powered up
: several allies, including an old sparring
: partner of Spider-Woman’s.
:
: “Gypsy Moth is back, folks, and she is one
: deadly kickass insect lady.” Van Lente
: announces. “As is pretty well known,
: rehabilitating seemingly hopelessly lame
: villains is my cause célèbre in the comics
: industry, and we've done our best to make
: Gypsy Moth a formidable foe. Spider-Island
: seems likes the perfect place to reintroduce
: her to the fans for the very first time. And
: she is on a mission directly opposed to
: Jessica's.”
:
: Just as The Jackal sides with a surprising
: partner, Spider-Woman and The Thing also
: recruit from an unexpected pool.
:
: “[The Thing’s ex-girlfriend] Alicia
: [Masters] may be the key to curing all of
: Spider-Island,” reveals Van Lente. “She was
: transformed herself into a spider-woman,
: back in that previously mentioned MARVEL
: TWO-IN-ONE story, and her blood contains
: antigens Reed Richards can use to remove the
: Jackal's infestation. But can Spider-Woman
: find her in time? She isn't the only one
: looking for her!”
:
: Fresh off a run on DAKEN: DARK WOLVERINE and
: several issues of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN,
: Giuseppe Camuncoli provides the art for
: SPIDER-ISLAND: SPIDER-WOMAN and looks
: forward to more than just depicting the
: title character.
:
:
: Gypsy Moth
:
: “The Thing is one of my favorite characters
: ever and possibly my favorite character to
: draw” he claims. “He has such a unique
: design, and playing with his expressions,
: body language and his rocky skin is
: fantastic. I just can't get enough; it's
: almost like an anti-stress to me. In this
: particular case, you must admit that Ben is
: part of a very odd couple. But, quite
: surprisingly, it really works to have a
: character so different like Spider-Woman act
: alongside Aunt Petunia's blue-eyed nephew!”
:
: Camuncoli brings his well-rounded
: illustrative talents not just to Ben Grimm
: and Jessica Drew but the entire cast, from
: the heroes and villains to the thousands of
: infected citizens under the influence of
: these spider-powers. Although he’s had some
: impressive assignments over the past few
: years, SPIDER-ISLAND: SPIDER-WOMAN provides
: new challenges that have the artist excited.
:
: “It's fun,” Camuncoli says of the project.
: “One of the coolest things about drawing is
: going nuts, and drawing the impossible, or
: rather something that's most of the time
: unusual to see. And in this case, it's so
: cool to see—and draw—all of these characters
: ‘Spider-ized.’ Comics can be complex or
: simple, funny or dramatic, but they should
: always be creative! And Spider-Island, in
: this particular field, does deliver. Big
: time!”
