The comic's cover for reference, because a comic cover has never lied before:


Also cute how she's taken the name Spinneret, just /barely/ avoiding that trademark confusion.

That's from Renew your Vows which is set in a alternate universe where Peter and MJ's kid is still around and a guy called the Regent enacted a plot to kidnap all Super heroes and keep them giant glass tubes so he could borrow there powers. Spider-Man managed to stop him some how and made MJ a suit that allows her to borrow his powers. In this issues MJ goes to Liz Allen and asks for help getting her own powers so she doesn't drain Peters, what she gets is the Venom Symbiote.
So no the cover does not lie.
