I have fond memories of Marvel Team-Up. In an era where it seems like every comic title was relaunched a bunch of times, it's only had 4 volumes since the 70's (and that's if you count Spider-Man Team-Up from the 90's). The concept is simple and perhaps with some better concepts it could be BRAVE AND THE BOLD for Spider-Man. Since it always offered two heroes in adventures which didn't require being adept at their core series, as a kid I used to scour back issues for this. The premise is tough to work in the "3-6 issues or bust" era, and this is only it's second stab since 2007.
Anyway, the good stuff. Dr. Yesenia Rosario has been introduced as yet another former classmate of Peter Parker's who we've never seen before and will likely never see again. She's invented a brain swapping dohicky and a random villain (the Jackal) wanted to steal it. It got destroyed and Spider-Man wound up swapping minds with Ms. Marvel. However, Jackal kidnapped Yesnia and has held her hostage. Issue #2 has a brief panel of her bound to a chair with wires; the scene picks up in issue three.
Con: No gag. Pros: Decent wire-work, and she's a woman of color with glasses and "natural" hair. For lovers of diverse damsels, it's for you.

Honestly, aside for the decent damsel scene I thought this was a generic story that was at least an issue too long. But Dr. Rosario is a cool damsel, and it wouldn't be bad if she turned up more. A damsel scene that lasts 25% of a comic is a plus these days.
Bonus: while it is a body-swap moment, if someone wants to see an image of Ms. Marvel covered in webbing, it's here: https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Marvel ... =154782#17
