This is a really interesting idea; a universe where Gwen Stacy was bit by the spider instead of Peter Parker and became Spider-Woman。 What I like about this idea is that in addition to exploring a universe where Gwen lived, Peter Parker is also the Green Goblin, and Spider-Woman is blamed for his death。 The strength of this story, beyond that general concept, is the gritty "modern detective noir" setting, in a universe where characters like Matt Murdock are also corrupt and villainous instead of This is a really interesting idea; a universe where Gwen Stacy was bit by the spider instead of Peter Parker and became Spider-Woman。 What I like about this idea is that in addition to exploring a universe where Gwen lived, Peter Parker is also the Green Goblin, and Spider-Woman is blamed for his death。 The strength of this story, beyond that general concept, is the gritty "modern detective noir" setting, in a universe where characters like Matt Murdock are also corrupt and villainous instead of fellow superheroes。 The art is also beautiful, with a sketchy, neon look that fits the tone without having a boring dark/dull appearance。 What keeps this from being a 4 or 5 star is the actual writing。 It's not terrible by any means, but I don't think it lives up to the concept。 Some of the jokes are incredibly forced, and information is given in an odd, disjointed way; it would be really confusing to someone who just picked up the first run without reading Edge of Spider-Verse #2/Spider-Gwen #0 (included in this collection), and/or without understanding a lot about the Spider-Man story in the first place。 Essentially, Spider-Gwen feels like a cool AU fanfic, and that's both a pro and a con。 It shouldn't simply be interesting and fun to see "this version" of M。J。 or Frank Castle or Felicia Hardy; we also need to enjoy the universe on its own merit, even if we don't know or care about any other version of those characters。 I don't think this comic accomplishes that, and a lot of the choices feel like they're being made just because they look or sound cool, not because they say anything deeper about the characters, relationships, or universe。 It's hard to get invested in a story like that。 ETA: I was on the fence about continuing/finishing this, and then I heard about sexual misconduct allegations against both the writer and the artist。 I'll leave it at this and won't be continuing。 。。。more

This collection is all over the place。 It lays groundwork and mythos for the character, which is pretty interesting as this universe rewrites familiar characters。 The art is decent, but there are a few issues (the latter part of the second run) where the art is subpar。 The variant covers are amazing! I'd give this collection a 3。5, but am curious where it leads in future books。 This collection is all over the place。 It lays groundwork and mythos for the character, which is pretty interesting as this universe rewrites familiar characters。 The art is decent, but there are a few issues (the latter part of the second run) where the art is subpar。 The variant covers are amazing!

Spider-Gwen is a heartfelt story about a young woman trying to make up for her mistakes without realizing who she truly is。 I loved this so much。 Great characters, great puns, and a deep emotional story。 The ONLY thing I didn’t like was the artist switch in the last two issues。 I loved the art until then。 Not that the new artist is bad。 It’s just a style I don’t vibe with。 I can’t wait to get to know Spider-Gwen more!

Menuda pasada。 Mi nueva adicción comiquera。

Classic superhero storylines combined with the prettiest artwork I've ever seen in a superhero comic book means this book is a super fun time for anyone interested in Spider Gwen。 I will say the world-building and multiverse introduction is a little jarring for those unfamiliar with the Marvel universe, but again the art is GORGEOUS and I wish I could have, like, half of this book printed out as posters for my house。 Classic superhero storylines combined with the prettiest artwork I've ever seen in a superhero comic book means this book is a super fun time for anyone interested in Spider Gwen。 I will say the world-building and multiverse introduction is a little jarring for those unfamiliar with the Marvel universe, but again the art is GORGEOUS and I wish I could have, like, half of this book printed out as posters for my house。 。。。more

Hacía mucho tiempo que quería leerlo y por fin esta semana lo acabé。Me ha gustado muchísimo y espero que sigan sacando más, conocer más al personaje y sus historias。

Spider verse including girl cpt America。 Confusing story at times。

kind of ok。 lost interest half way through when the Black Cat started her own band?

Lewis T。 Castle

I liked the direction they took with some of the villains。 It seems more mature than the tired "bad guy needs beating" formula。 But long stretches seemed pretty uninspired。 I liked the direction they took with some of the villains。 It seems more mature than the tired "bad guy needs beating" formula。 But long stretches seemed pretty uninspired。 。。。more

It's my first time reading marvel comics。 I bought this because i've watched the Spider-verse movie。 I love Gwen。 I love her jokes, her emotions, and her relationship with her dad。 It's nice to see a women heroes struggling in her problems。 It's my first time reading marvel comics。 I bought this because i've watched the Spider-verse movie。 I love Gwen。 I love her jokes, her emotions, and her relationship with her dad。 It's nice to see a women heroes struggling in her problems。 。。。more

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this

It’s really 3。5 stars, but it won’t let me give that。 I enjoyed this for the most part。 The story was somewhat predictable, and the pacing was on and off a bit。 The art was mostly good, though I’m not a big fan of Chris Visions’ art style。 Luckily, it was only in part of one story。 Not my favorite graphic novel ever, but I’ll likely read it again。

It was fun to see the Spider-Verse influences。

Spider-Gwen je veľmi zaujímavá postava rovnako ako aj trochu iný svet v ktorom sa jej príbeh odohráva。 Komiks je to milý, zábavný, farebný a ako som už spomenul iný a tým pádom strašne zaujímavý。 Aby ste si tento komiks užili naplno, je nutné sa aspoň trochu orientovať v pavúčom svete, ale zase sa toho netreba báť - stačia základy。 Ak vás teda zaujímajú teenage príbehy krížené so superhrdinskými patáliami, Spider-Gwen určite nebude krok vedľa。

So glad that i picked this up while i was in town。 Quick short read that came together nicely at the end (even if it lost me at times during the middle)。 Awesome art (side profiles made me laugh a little)。 there was a jarring art change for one of the comments which was a little harder to follow。 Great dialogue and went darker than I'd expected but I thought they handled it really well。 So glad that i picked this up while i was in town。 Quick short read that came together nicely at the end (even if it lost me at times during the middle)。 Awesome art (side profiles made me laugh a little)。 there was a jarring art change for one of the comments which was a little harder to follow。 Great dialogue and went darker than I'd expected but I thought they handled it really well。 。。。more

I like Spider-Gwen herself, but just got a bit overwhelmed by the 'alternate universe' aspects of this。 Punisher is a cop! Captain America is a woman! Peter Parker is Uncle Ben AND the Lizard! ugh。 Too many knowing winks at the audience for me。 I like Spider-Gwen herself, but just got a bit overwhelmed by the 'alternate universe' aspects of this。 Punisher is a cop!

Spider-Gwen is a wonderful character that takes an infamous grudging and spins it into something fresh and new。 Her role in both the Spider-Verse movie and event is a wonderful highlight。 But her actual comic kind of sucks。 It tries to lean into a punk rock aesthetic but mostly ends up revolving around Gwen complaining and dealing with too much angst。 There’s little levity to be had, despite how much potential there is for it。 The conflict is interesting, with a nice spin on Daredevil and Frank Spider-Gwen is a wonderful character that takes an infamous grudging and spins it into something fresh and new。 Her role in both the Spider-Verse movie and event is a wonderful highlight。 But her actual comic kind of sucks。 It tries to lean into a punk rock aesthetic but mostly ends up revolving around Gwen complaining and dealing with too much angst。 There’s little levity to be had, despite how much potential there is for it。 The conflict is interesting, with a nice spin on Daredevil and Frank Castle, but the other villains (Venom, Green Goblin and Wolverine) are disappointing。 My biggest issue however is the world building。 While it may initially sound like this is based around a universe that diverges from the core Marvel timeline when Gwen got bitten instead it turns out to be a bizarre mishmash of alternate takes and divergent backstories that force themselves to contort to the expected personas。 Harry Osborn is called the Green Goblin because he’s rich and likes fantasy stories - one of the many examples of the comic screaming “DO YOU GET IT!” rather than provide a genuinely new and interesting take。 If you’re interested in Spider-Gwen I’ve gotta say maybe skip the Latour/Rodriguez issues and skip to McGuire’s superior Ghost Spider stories (This review stands for all 40 issues of the original Spider-Gwen comic, not just the 11 presented in this collection)。 。。。more

I enjoyed it, I did feel like it was lacking in some parts。 I thought it would be geared to a more adult audience , I was wrong。 The artwork was kind of a miss for me。 It wasn’t terrible by any means it was just meh。 The Matt Murdock bits were my favorite, I love Daredevil and seeing the spin on the character was phenomenal。 If you are a Gwen Stacy fan I do recommend this one。

Ich kann gar nicht sagen, woran es liegt, dass der Funke nicht so ganz übergesprungen ist。 Das Konzept Spider-Gwen ist interessant und funktioniert auch; Latour überrascht den Leser mit dem bekannten Spidey-Personal, das hier aber doch überraschend anders ist。 Spider-Gwen ist mehr als nur ein weiblicher Netzschwinger für Leserinnen, auch wenn es einige der üblichen Konzessionen gibt (mal wieder muss eine Girlie-Band eine Rolle spielen und die Kolorierung ist deutlich pink=lastiger als in den Com Ich kann gar nicht sagen, woran es liegt, dass der Funke nicht so ganz übergesprungen ist。 Das Konzept Spider-Gwen ist interessant und funktioniert auch; Latour überrascht den Leser mit dem bekannten Spidey-Personal, das hier aber doch überraschend anders ist。 Spider-Gwen ist mehr als nur ein weiblicher Netzschwinger für Leserinnen, auch wenn es einige der üblichen Konzessionen gibt (mal wieder muss eine Girlie-Band eine Rolle spielen und die Kolorierung ist deutlich pink=lastiger als in den Comics für Kerle)。 Auch die Zeichnungen sind nicht schlecht。 Mal schauen, ob Band 2 eine Steigerung ist。 。。。more

Me ha gustado mucho, la mayoría de números dibujados con una limpieza increíble。 Mola mucho que sean capaces de hacerle moverse como Spider-Man pero con algo único。 La historia es sencillita y juega muy bien con el mundo paralelo。 Lástima de número 5b, para un boceto mal acabado。

I adore Gwen Stacy so much as a character, I have my whole life。 I was so happy to find out about Spider-Gwen from Into the Spider Verse and get to read this book。 It truly was an emotional time because Gwen deals with heavy feelings in this。 All of the characters are reimagined really well though。 The only con I have is that the pacing is a bit messy but I guess that’s how comic typically are。 Overall enjoyed this so much! :)

An interesting parallel to the Spiderman story。 Gwen Stacy rocks 🤘🤟

I thought this book was a darker take on a warped world。 That's not to say it wasn't mind-blowingly good, but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting。 So let's just dive right in, shall we? The Mary Janes are dysfunctional and probably unhealthy, so automatically I loved them。 I think that the idea of MJ as a selfish punk singer in a girl band where she's known as Em Jay is a great change of pace。 Obviously, there's a more mature spin on the spider story here。 For example, in Marvel Rising, Gw I thought this book was a darker take on a warped world。 That's not to say it wasn't mind-blowingly good, but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting。 So let's just dive right in, shall we? The Mary Janes are dysfunctional and probably unhealthy, so automatically I loved them。 I think that the idea of MJ as a selfish punk singer in a girl band where she's known as Em Jay is a great change of pace。 Obviously, there's a more mature spin on the spider story here。 For example, in Marvel Rising, Gwen's best friend did get powers and mysteriously died by Spider-Woman's supposed hand, but the cartoon gave us a more kid-friendly approach to how Peter obtained those powers。 Needless to say, Peter Parker didn't get powers because he had been bullied for years until it messed him up in the head enough to where he gave himself powers even if they were dangerous。 It was just kind of weird that he turned into a big green lizard。 Even weirder, the mayor Jameson, decided to blame and witch-hunt the Spider-Woman。 Kind of crazy how the cops looked for something to blame and completely disregarded the actual crime at hand that somehow includes S。H。I。E。L。D。, S。I。L。K。, and a guys named Connors。 As nice as Gwen's jokes were, I don't think they provided for much comic relief。 Overall, the tone of the book was dark and the humor didn't overpower that。 I also understand that she cracks wise because she's nervous, but that kind of feels cliché。 I do think that Gwen has a point about trigger-happy cops。 Are these really the people that are expected to protect and serve? I totally appreciated Gwen's nickname for Murdock。 Murderdock。 Being Kingpin's lawyer, it only makes all the sense in the world。 I just can't believe it took me halfway through the book to realize that Murdock was blind。 However, I express no sympathy。 He's still a dirty, low-down scoundrel。 You know, I thought it was interesting considering the fact that even though the book is called Spider-Gwen, she is known only as Spider-Woman。 I'm honestly wondering if that's supposed to foreshadow something。 If we're being truthful here, Gwen has revealed her identity to her dad and Harry。 Also, Murdock figured it out thanks to the fricking Vulture。 I think it's very fitting that the Mary Janes' cat is called Murderface。 If you've ever known a cat, ever, you know what I'm talking about。 I don't know if I'm just naïve or if it's Gwen's world, but everybody in the book seems to be power hungry。 Peter wanted to be special, Toomes wanted to be known。 What is wrong with people? Haven't we witnessed how that doesn't work out? Seeing Spider-Ham in this art was awesome。 There's some comic relief for ya right there。 I swear, I do the same thing as Gwen when I lose my phone。 I freak out like my whole world has ended。 I feel bad that Captain Stacy was taken off the case, especially since he was replaced by former military and other top secret bad stuff Frank Castle。 I'm glad that he stopped Murdock from killing Castle, but I have to wonder if he will regret that choice。 By the way, I'm super lost over all the gas stuff。 Why the heck does it keep permeating throughout every other issue? Where do you even get this stuff? I do hope that Uncle Ben and Aunt May can get some peace of mind。 Those poor people accidentally put it all on Gwen's shoulders, but maybe we can find out more about the wounded S。H。I。E。L。D。 agents and the Lizards。 I get that the tearing down of homes and Ma and Pop places suck, but vandilazing in-progress corporate buildings won't change much, Hobie and Izzy。 So I know diddly squat about this Felicia character, but I feel sort of bad that she hasn't been able to get vegenance for her father due to Murdock's state of existing。 I'm not sure if I 100% like DeWolff, but if she solves the Peter Parker mess, I will be her best friend。 Though, I'm not a fan of the whatever she's got going on with Captain Stacy。 I like the way that the writers incorporated Harry's story。 He's the Green Goblin because he has lots of money and he's a D&D nerd。 Quite clever。 I just hate that Harry blamed himself for not speaking up, and then blaming Spider-Woman because it's easier than taking responsibility for yourself and your own actions。 I truly wish he didn't take the lizard mutagen, but I'm glad that Gwen gave him a second chance after he repented。 You know, this version of Captain America is totally kickass。 An African-American。 Take that, ya racist Nazis。 I'm grateful that Gwen returned Pine Cone to the Bodega Bandit。 He's a pretty lame villain, as far as villains go, but he's predictable and at least he really does care for something。 And here's the real question: Is Peter still one of those lizard things? I mean, really? I love that we got to see pregnant Jessica Drew。 I've never actually read any of her Spider-Woman books, but I've seen her around。 Also, she's funny because she's preggers。 It's also kind of nice to see girl mentor advice。 To clarify, I now know that Gwen lives on Earth-GS。 And our normal Marvel universe is Earth-GIG。 (Or maybe it's Earth-G1G? It's not really clear。) Gwen's Falcon falling for Betty from the Mary Janes is amusing to me。 At least Spider-Woman might have some help from her Captain America, so she's less of a criminal in the eyes of the law now。 I want to see what Dad Cop is 'cause that just sounds amazing。 I think the art was apropos for the comic because it was quite stringy and silk-lile, similar to a spiderweb。 I recommend this book to spidey fans because I loved it。 。。。more

I wanted to like it more, but it showed enough promise to pick up the next volume。 I was honestly hoping for something lighter, more along the lines of Ms Marvel。 This is heavier and is setting up for a good amount of angst and struggle。 There are definitely jokes and fun references, but not enough for me to consider the comic funny。 Is it too shallow of me to want to love it because of the badass character design?
