Unable to leave the home of the woman of the snows until Yukichi recovers, the pair will wait for trouble which will likely soon find them.

Spider-Woman #1

Spinning out of Spider-Woman getting cut out of the Web and Life and Destiny (okay, I’ll be honest, I didn’t follow this storyline and I’m not really all that clear on the fallout of it other than it seems to have cut Jess out of shared consciousness for a bit) and then being returned to it, and part of the new ongoing crossover Gang War (gangs of villains in New York fighting for control, or something like that?), Jessica Drew gets a new series which begins with Jess tracking down Hydra (and looking for a son who apparently has been removed from mass consciousness and/or existence due to the trouble with the Web).

The six-issue mini-series 007: For King and Country concludes with James Bond dealing with the betrayal of his former Gwendolyn Gann who has used both Bond and Felix Leiter to stage not a takedown of Myrmidon but a hostile takeover with Gann the new power behind the throne believing she can use the power for good. Foreshadowed throughout the series, it’s no surprise it came down to the old friends on opposite sides in the end.
