In New Avengers #42, the Skrull Empress assumes the form of Spider-Woman and begins infiltrating Earth’s heroes, subtly manipulating key events like the House of M and the Super Hero Civil War from within. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Jim Cheung, with inks by John Dell and colors by Justin Ponsor, the issue unfolds with quiet menace as the true identity of the woman who calls herself Spider-Woman starts to unravel. The cover by Aleksi Briclot captures the eerie duality of the deception.
