HALLOWS' EVE Comic Book Series Will Take Us Behind The Mask Of New AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Villain

In last week's sold-out issue of Amazing Spider-Man #14, Hallows' Eve made her debut with a killer look and outrageous abilities. Now, we'll learn more about her in an upcoming solo series!

Hallows' Eve's first appearance, which also served as a prelude to the upcoming Spider-Man/X-Men event Dark Web, revealed that this devious new baddie is none other than Janine Godbe, the loyal longtime girlfriend of Ben Reilly. Her transformation was a gift from Madelyne Pryor and together, they’ll unleash a special brand of chaos in the months ahead.

Dark Web will only be the start of Janine's saga and the five-issue Hallows' Eve limited series will be written by Erica Schultz (X-23: Deadly Regenesis) and drawn by Michael Dowling, known for his acclaimed work on titles like Black Cat and Jane Foster & the Mighty Thor.

The upcoming story will keep fans guessing as it explores the exciting and unpredictable potential of Hallows' Eve's powers. The secrets behind her mystical masks and the dangerous abilities they grant her are unlike any the Marvel Universe has ever witnessed and power on this level will attract all kinds of unwanted attention...

Janine Godbe's world has been blown up several times in her life, but after the events of Dark Web, she's in control of her future for the first time in years. With a bag of super-powered masks and a chip on her shoulder, Janine's crime spree as Hallows' Eve puts her on the run from the police, but there’s someone else after her too, someone seeking to take her newfound power for themselves!

"Having the opportunity to pen a character’s first solo miniseries is incredibly exciting and incredibly nerve-racking!" Schultz says. "Despite Janine having been created in the 90s, this is the first time we’ll see her on her own for more than just a few pages. I really hope fans enjoy a deeper look into Janine and what makes her tick."

Hallows' Eve #1 will arrive in comic book stores next March, and you can check out Dowling's cover below.

First impression, not a bad design but nothing that makes me immediately take interest. As always, it will be the story and character development that makes or breaks a new character.

It's like new wrestlers. Not every new face is a Stone Cold or the Rock. Not every new comic character is a Superman.

In fact I have a theory, it's not necessarily that older characters are even better (though many are), it's that we've grown up with them in an era where things were just... well just different. Being a kid was different. Even being an adult was different. Thise heroes thrived in that time and now we have nostalgia for them and want to defend them like they are our personal family.

So it's a million times harder to break in a new character these days because the audience has different sensibilities now. Few have our favorites who need to prove nothing, while a new idea has EVERYTHING to prove, same with charging the gender or race of an established character. It clashes with our nostalgia more than anything else.

@TheVandalore - To a certain degree, you are right… a lot of it is nostalgia. On the other hand, a huge reason for new character’s failing these days is the marketing.

In the 90s and 80s they didn’t run marketing blitzes about a new character and talk about them changing EVERYTHING. At most, the new character would get a word bubble on one cover and if they character didn’t stick, they didn’t try to ram that character into everything. There was much more patience and reinvention.

For me, the biggest problem is that comics studios want to have their cake and eat it, too. The stable is too full. They want to bring in new characters, but the old ones are still around. It muddies the waters.

Also, continuity is a joke these days.

I hate that they made Janine and Ben villains. I was born in 2000, so I have no nostalgia for the 90s or for Ben, but not too long ago I got really into his run as the Sensational Spider-Man, some of his Scarlet Spider runs and the new Ben Reilly mini series (es well as the Beyond run), and I really loved his character. So, it makes it that much borse when they [frick] him up like this (especially when the Jackal stuff wasn´t that long ago).
