This new one-shot’s creative team includes:

• Writers: Dan Watters (Nightwing & The Twilight Zone) & Ann Nocenti (Tortured Hearts & Elektra) 
• Artists: Andrea Broccardo (Supernatural & The Avengers) & Stefano Raffaele (Detective Comics & Only The Savage Are Left)

What we do know about the one-shot is that Jessica is getting thrown into 2 different adventures. The first one has Dan & Andrea: 

“Taking Spider-Woman back to the shadows, revealing a status quo that will shock fans more than a bioelectric blast! A terrible twist of fate awaits Spider-Woman in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity, kicking off the latest chapter in her tangled web of lies and mystery. Returning to her roots as a private investigator and teaming up with journalist Ben Urich, Spider-Woman ventures into corners of the Marvel Universe that her fellow heroes fear, but will her embrace of the darkness threaten her heroic legacy—or even her sanity?” 

The second story has Ann & Stefano putting Jessica: 

“In a detective story for the ages! Drawn into a bizarre case in Los Angeles, Spider-Woman finds herself chasing clues throughout the city before coming face-to-face with one of her classic foes, Flying Tiger!” 

Dan Watters had this to say about his love for Jessica Drew: 

“Mysterious and dangerous, Jessica Drew has always been one of my very favorite Marvel heroes. I’m so pleased to be bringing Spider-Woman venom-blasting into a new chapter of her story!” 

Meanwhile, Ann Nocenti had this to say: 

“Everyone has flaws, and it’s heroic to overcome them. When Editor Kaeden McGahey asked me to spin a tale for Spider-Woman’s 50th Anniversary, I thought of how Jessica Drew’s spider pheromone scent can be isolating. It’s a great test of her detective skills to sleuth out clues despite her creepy vibe and also hits a universal chord—we all have occasional ‘everyone hates me’ moments in life. 

In the 1980s editor Mark Gruenwald gave me the assignment to ‘retire’ Spider-Woman, ending the book’s run with issue #50, so returning to write a story about how Jess’s friendships and battles are hard won feels redemptive. Added bonus—with art by the spectacular Stefano Raffaele, the story will be gorgeous!”
