Synopsis for "Suddenly...the Shroud!"

Leaving for Las Vegas,[Continuity 1] Magnus bids farewell to his friends Jessica Drew and Jerry Hunt. After Magnus's departure, Jerry informs Jessica that S.H.I.E.L.D. wants him back on assignment and drops Jessica off at home;[Continuity 2] Jessica decides to not go with Jerry, mentioning how he had enough of that life when she had been with Hydra.[Continuity 3] Jessica begins to ponder over what she should do for employment. After a night out as Spider-Woman, Jessica begins job hunting and finds that people's negative reactions towards her make the jobs she applies for not last.[Continuity 4] Wondering what's wrong, she decides to go to the Hatros Institute for Emotional Research to try and figure out why. As a stroke of luck, after her first session, she is offered a job as a receptionist at the Institute.[Continuity 5]

As Jerry Hunt receives mission orders to find two missing S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Jessica begins her job as a receptionist. Hearing a strange noise, she goes to investigate and is knocked out by the Shroud, who is investigating the Hatros Institute because he suspects they are tied with the Cult of Kali.[Continuity 6]

Reviving, Jessica changes into Spider-Woman and counter-attacks the Shroud, and after a brief battle, she easily defeats him, knocking him out with a venom blast. Carrying his unconscious body through a therapy room, she is shocked to find it filled with members of the very cult that the Shroud had come looking for.

Notes

Continuity Notes[]

  1. ↑ Magnus purportedly leaves to work as a stage magician in a casino in Las Vegas. In Spider-Woman #17, Jessica will try to contact him, only to discover he never really had such a job, and the casino staff have not even heard of him. In Spider-Woman #50, Jessica will discover where Magnus really went.
  2. ↑ Jessica mentions how Magnus helped her learn the truth about her father's death. Magnus has been by Jessica's side since Spider-Woman #2. She also recounts how she was once a member of Hydra, as seen in Marvel Spotlight #32.
  3. ↑ Ever since his first encounter with Spider-Woman in Spider-Woman #1, Jerry Hunt thought he knew her face from before, but could not place it. In this issue, when Jessica mentions her past with Hydra, Jerry, a SHIELD agent, realises he had seen her face in SHIELD files about Hydra agents.
  4. ↑ Jessica recalls how the last time she went job hunting did not go very well. This was in Spider-Woman #1.
  5. ↑ One of the staff members states that the Hatros Institute was founded in 1974. Since the institute was later revealed to be run by Nekra, this should be considered a topical reference per the Sliding Timescale of Earth-616.
  6. ↑ The Shroud recounts his attempts to take down Doctor Doom. This was chronicled in Super-Villain Team-Up #5–12.
