Mary Jane Watson has long been one of Marvel’s most recognizable supporting characters, but over the years she has grown far beyond that label. Since her full debut in Amazing Spider-Man #42, the character created by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr. has evolved from Peter Parker’s love interest into a figure with her own distinct identity, moving through storylines as a model, a hero, and even a symbiote host. Now, on the occasion of her 60th anniversary, Marvel is spotlighting that evolution with Mary Jane: Face It, Tiger #1, a giant-sized one-shot designed to revisit key moments from her past while pointing toward what comes next.

This summer, Marvel Comics is dialing the chaos all the way up with Queen in Black, a new five-issue crossover event that promises a full-on cosmic clash — with Earth stuck squarely in the danger zone.
Written by Al Ewing and illustrated by Iban Coello, Queen in Black #1 launches a story that pits two of Marvel’s most formidable forces against each other: Knull, the God of the Void, and Hela, the Asgardian ruler of the dead. When these two collide, it’s less “battle” and more “apocalyptic inevitability.”
Greta Van Fleet’s Jake Kiszka pictured with his new Gibson SG Standard in Faded Vintage Cherry
If rock ’n’ roll had a time machine, it would probably look a lot like the new Jake Kiszka SG Standard from Gibson — a guitar that channels pure 1961 energy while keeping both boots planted firmly in the present.
Inspired by the well-loved ’61 SG that helped shape Jake’s sound with Greta Van Fleet, this limited-edition release feels less like a signature model and more like a personal artifact. Kiszka has long credited that original guitar as an extension of himself, and this new version carries that same spirit forward — only now it’s something fans (and aspiring guitar heroes) can actually get their hands on.

Some shark attacks are dramatic. Some are terrifying. And some, like the cover of The Woman Dies by Aoko Matsuda, are strangely calm. At first glance, the scene feels almost peaceful. A young woman with mint-green hair leans casually against the lower jaw of what appears to be a massive Megalodon shark. Blowing a bright blue bubblegum bubble, her posture relaxed, her expression indifferent — it’s as if she’s lounging on a couch rather than sitting inside the mouth of a prehistoric predator.

For decades, fans of heavy metal and hardcore punk have heard the same criticism: it’s too loud, too aggressive, too chaotic to be considered “real” music. Parents worried, teachers dismissed it, and cultural gatekeepers often labeled it as harmful. But for many listeners, this intense, high-energy music has served a very different purpose — not as noise, but as a lifeline.
