* DidntThinkThisThrough: In the first issue, Janine tries to rob a bank to fund her escape plan. Using the ghost mask makes her invisible and intangible, so it's easy to get into the vault. However, that also means she can't touch the money - so she takes the mask off. At that point she loses her invisibility as well as her intangibility, so the guards immediately spot her on the security cameras and raise the alarm.

''Hallows' Eve'' is a comic book limited series from Creator/MarvelComics. It's written by Erica Schultz with art by Michael Dowling and color art by Brian Reber.

Set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, the series stars Janine Godbe, who's now the titular Hallows' Eve. It's positioned as part of the wider ComicBook/SpiderMan franchise, and directly spins off from events of ''ComicBook/DarkWeb''.

Janine's boyfriend is Ben Reilly, a clone of Spider-Man, and when the Beyond Corporation started working with Ben, they also got Janine released from prison. It ended badly, though - Beyond stripped away Ben's memories, sending him spiralling into villainy. Desperate to regain his identity, he forged an alliance with Madelyne Pryor, queen of the demonic realm of Limbo, and Janine was gifted magical masks and became the supervillain Hallows' Eve.

But their plan failed and now Ben is trapped in Limbo, Janine's on the run in New York, unsure how to rescue him - and Beyond are starting to take an unhealthy interest in her activities...

The first issue was released March 01, 2023.
----
!!''Hallows' Eve'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* HowDoIShotWeb: As the first issue shows, Janine still doesn't fully understand the rules for her powers. [[spoiler:Slashing a guard while wearing her werewolf mask unexpectedly [[ViralTransformation infects him]] and he later becomes a werewolf himself]].
* TransformationTrinket: Janine's masks physically transform her - most of them also bestow some sort of power.
* VariantCover: The first issue has at least eight variant covers. Most show Janine in her Hallows Eve costume, but two show classic Spider-Man villain the Green Goblin instead.
