Marvel Comics has revealed Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 will feature the main story by Erica Schultz and Julian Shaw. Out on August 2nd, the story will feature Janine Godbe, Hallows’ Eve, an ex-con armed with an arsenal of enchanted masks.
“It’s been fantastic to work on HALLOWS’ EVE and really flesh out Janine’s story,” Schultz shared. “For a character that’s been around for 25 years or so, there was a lot to explore and dive into. Dark Web was only the beginning, and the fans really seem to be enjoying her journey. I wasn’t exactly ready to let her go just yet, and the mighty people at Marvel gave me my wish!”
So what’s Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 about?
In AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL, Hallows’ Eve will attempt her biggest scheme yet: breaking Chasm out of jail! Currently imprisoned in Madelyne Pryor’s new demonic Limbo Embassy, Spider-Man’s misguided clone is more vengeful than ever, and Hallows’ Eve is the only one who dares to let him loose! Does she have the skills and nerve to go head-to-head against the Goblin Queen? And how will the dark tidings from this year’s Hellfire Gala impact her bold rescue attempt?
