Two of Marvel's most iconic heroes are teaming up once again in a much anticipated, out-of-this-world road trip! Since their original team-up in Avengers Annual #10, Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel) and Jessica Drew (aka Spider-Woman) have built up quite the fan base. Readers have been keeping an eye out for the leading ladies, patiently awaiting any storyline updating their iconic friendship. Spider-Woman #6 has brought just that: another spotlight feature on the two Marvel femme fatales as they embark on a new, intergalactic expedition.
The upcoming issue follows Jessica as she aims to discover more information about some unforeseen secrets regarding her family. She now must find the one person who can tell her more: the High Evolutionary! Diving into her origin story a little deeper, Jessica has a lot to learn, but not without a little help from her bestie.
The logistics of the trip seem to be up in the air; after all, Jessica's story has been limited to Earth so far. She may have super strength and agility, but her spidey powers surely don't do so well with space travel. Carol seems to be the perfect girl for the job, enabling Jessica to see whether or not she can hold her own on other planets. The beautifully done cover art for this issue by Junggeun Yoon features a confident Carol leading her less assured gal pal through this unfamiliar territory.
The two have always cared for and supported each other to an incredible degree. It comes to no surprise that Jessica would turn to Carol for help in a mission that goes beyond her area of expertise. The two, as usual, will have to rely on each other heavily. Hopefully, their friendship will only grow stronger along this next adventure.

- ROAD TRIP…TO SPACE! After learning some startling secrets about her family, Jess goes on a mission to find the one person who might know more…the High Evolutionary! But to do that, she’s going to have to go into space. And to do that, she’s going to need her good friend… CAPTAIN MARVEL TEAM-UP TIME!!!
Some fans have been awaiting the day when Marvel may take this relationship to a more romantic level. Many are hopeful that their favorite ship may become canon in these upcoming issues. Others hope to see the pure-hearted friendship stay platonic. The fan base seems split on this one, torn between seeing them as bffs or something more. For now, it seems the latter may have to stick to fan art, but who knows what the future of Spider-Woman has in store!
Fan theories aside, these two are undoubtedly a powerful duo. They have taken on some tough villains in their time. Earth knows Captain Marvel and Spider-Woman are not to be underestimated when teamed up... and now, the rest of the galaxy will as well!
