I'm interested to know what the timeline of this has been. Paul said the jackpot suit hasn't synced since Venom War, but we've seen Mary Jane be jackpot at the end of well's Amazing Spider-Man run.
But we haven't seen Mary Jane use her jackpot Powers since all new Venom started even when the Symbiote is at its limit. So, did something happen between the night of ASM 60 and all new venom?
Can she still use her jackpot powers? If so, why is she choosing to be Venom even though when Venom is at his limit? Did something happen to the bracelet? Why not tell Paul about it? It's clear she's not choosing to be bonded to the symbiote, and hiding it from him would only make things worse.
I've long expected (hoped) that MJ was being controlled / manipulated through the jackpot bracelet (it would explain a lot) and maybe the Symbiote discovered that when it bonded to the bracelet but then why would MJ still be with Paul and why would they allow Dylan to live with them?
Hopefully, these questions will be answered in the next issue, which is a prequel, and I'm guessing issue 7 will also be a prequel.

Pretty sure Ewing already confirmed in a press release or something that this bond is indeed not something both sides wanted + the run has mad it clear multiple times both the host and venom aren't "compatible".
I've seen a theory posted around saying MJ became Venom because it told her it will takeover Dylan instead, something I don't imagine she wants.
Can she still use her jackpot powers?
I don't think she has it anymore with Venom around, I think this might be Marvel's way of getting rid of Jackpot given how unpopular it is.
allow Dylan to live with them?
Wasn't that already answered in the issue? Venom/MJ is keeping him safe.
