WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Spider-Woman #5, by Karla Pacheco, Pere Pérez, Frank D'Armata, and Travis Lanham, on sale now.

Jessica Drew barely escaped Wundagore with her life, but she isn't done searching for a cure for her family — and she's about to get some big help from Captain Marvel.

Jessica has been through the ringer and then some -- from having an emergency C-section in an outer space hospital while fighting an Army of Skrulls on her own to realizing that the illness that nearly killed her as a child, leading to her father injecting her with the spider-serum that caused her powers, has returned and threatens not only her life, but both the lives of her son and niece as well.

In Spider-Woman#5 by Karla Pacheco, Pere Pérez, Frank D'Armata, and Travis Lanham, Jessica is living a literal nightmare when she and her half-brother, Michael Marchand, travel to the Wundagore Mountain laboratory and are greeted by clone of their dead mother who viscously attacks the hero while calling her a "monster."

An old lady in a purple blouse being able to go toe-to-toe with a superhero isn't a normal phenomenon and is thanks to the serum Michael reverse-engineered from Jessica's blood in order to save his daughter, Rebecca, who is suffering the same illness that Jessica had as a child. The serum made Jessica much stronger but had the unintended side effect of making those who use it deranged and lose all empathy. The hero is stuck between a rock and a hard place as she attempts to flee from her murderous mother while also fighting Octavia Vermis, the daughter of Otto Vermis, the Supreme Hydra commander who manipulated her into working for Hydra after getting her powers. To keep them both at bay, Jessica takes a vial of the serum which leads to a horrifyingly brutal fight between her and her cloned mother. Jessica, Michael, and Rebecca barely escape Wundagore as the cloned mother traps herself in a room with Octavia and triggers the base's self-destruct sequence.

As she leaves the destroyed base, Spider-Woman thinks about the three people she loves the most -- Gerry, her son; Roger, The Porcupine and full-time babysitter; and Carol Danvers, her best friend who is also the hero Captain Marvel. Jessica begins to question if she should continue to go it alone, or reach out for help. Eventually, she comes to the conclusion that maybe she "doesn't have to do it alone this time" and goes off to meet her best friend, Carol Danvers.

Spider-Woman and Captain Marvel have a storied past together, first coming together in Chris Claremont and Michael Golden's Avengers Annual #10, when Jessica rescues Carol after her encounter with Rogue. When it came time for Jessica to give birth, Carol is the one who suggested that she go to the Alpha Flight Intergalactic Hospital in space for a relaxed place to have her baby, and it is Carol who comes to save Jessica when things don't go according to plan.

When Jess arrives on her motorcycle to see Her friend, Carol is already in her uniform and greets her by saying, "Took you long enough." The issue ends with Spider-Woman's excited declaration that they're going to space in the next stop in their quest to find a cure for Jessica and her family.
