"HEL ON EARTH! On the farthest edges of the solar system, KNULL, GOD OF THE VOID, builds a brand-new army to destroy Earth… but HELA OF ASGARD might have gotten there first — as she makes planetfall with a legion of the galaxy’s deadliest symbiotes!

Women Wednesday: Amazing Mary Jane #1-6 Covers

Amazing Mary Jane #6 from Marvel Comics hit the newsstands today and I caught up on the series by reading all six issues. The series was a spin off from Amazing Spider-Man #25. Mary Jane Watson, the love of Peter Parker, just got her big shot at fame by landing the female lead in the movie titled Down In Flames, Up In Smoke, which is about the life of Quentin Beck aka Mysterio. The Vulture, Rhino and other super villains show up too. It's a pretty good series so far and family friendly.

Mary Jane Watson 1995

This Mary Jane Watson figurine came in McDonald's Happy Meals in 1995. She was the fifth in the Spider-Man series but I had to find one at a local thrift store several years after they originally came out. I do not have the two pop on dresses (one was green with a black skirt while the other was red) or the two purses (one was white while the other was black). She stands a little over 3 1/4" and her facial features are pretty good considering the size.
