It’s been so long (a few days) since disaster struck (Milkyway switched Pipp’s and Zipp’s cutie marks) that we hardly remember (how could we forget?) a time BCMS (Before Cutie Mark Switcheroo). Maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but everypony still thinks Pipp is Zipp and Zipp is Pipp! The Royal Dinner is here, and Milkyway refuses to reverse the switcheroo, so… it’s showtime! Can the sisters get their acts together and pull off a royal miracle?
Felicia Hardy and Mary Jane Watson have always had more in common than they think, and this March, they’ll combine their wits, expertise, and superpowers to take down an emerging new threat in Jackpot and Black Cat! The four-issue limited series is written by Celeste Bronfman, who penned both Mary Jane’s first outing as Jackpot earlier this year in Amazing Spider-Man #925 and her first solo issue as Jackpot that hits stands in January. Bronfman will be joined by rising Marvel star Emilio Laiso, the acclaimed artist known for his recent work on Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men Unlimited. The series’ covers will come from renowned artist Adam Hughes.
After teaming up in Jed MacKay and C.F. Villa’s Eisner-nominated Black Cat & Mary Jane: Beyond one-shot as well as the Mary Jane & Black Cat “Dark Web” tie-in series, Mary Jane and Felicia Hardy have risen to be one of Marvel’s most dynamic duos. Now that Mary Jane is an up-and-coming super hero herself, they’ll take their bond to the next level on an action-packed adventure to take down a villain that’s blackmailing… EVERYONE, including Black Cat and Mary Jane. Tough choices and daring missions await as Mary Jane and Black Cat become entangled in a plot that’s brought the world to its knees.
LUCK BE THE LADIES! When someone blackmails Black Cat into a public and blatant crime spree, Jackpot comes to her aid! What classic Spider-Villain is behind the blackmail?! Someone with history with at least one of our titular heroines!
Check out the debut issue’s cover now and be there for Mary Jane and Black Cat’s next great caper when Jackpot and Black Cat #1 hits stands in March.

We’re approaching the eleventh hour and Zipp and Pipp are still switched! The clock is ticking closer to the Royal Dinner and Pipp’s concert, so the sisters have no choice but to perform their royal and pop star duties for each other. It’s a huge headache to be honest, but… it might be bringing the sisters closer together. It’s almost like that was Milky Way’s plan the whole time. Tick tock!

Trotting a mile in another princess’ horseshoes is harder than either Pipp or Zipp are prepared for. Pipp thinks queen-in-training duty sounds suuuper easy. Like, all she has to do is select the soap and the menu and the place settings and the chairs and the floral arrangements and make sure everypony in all of Zephyr Heights is happy. And Zipp is sure singing and dancing will be a breeze. Except all her Zipsqueaks are suspiciously too busy being tired and sick to cheer her on. Milkway and her sister switching superpowers has put the Pegasi in a real pickle!
