She's Back! First Look At Spider-Gwen #1
Exhibit A in why Marvel's plan to bring all their alternate universes together into one new (marketable) Earth -- Gwen Stacy, Spider-Gwen.
From her first appearance, fans have gone nuts. She's a strong female character with the same identity as one who, let's face it, had been pretty much victimized and even in flashbacks not treated well. Yet Gwen Stacy was and is popular, and through Spider-Gwen, Marvel can do right by her.
And yes, Marvel has given Sony a little fuel for their films, but they're not as adversarial as they are with another 20th century studio.
The only flaw? Clearly, she cannot be called Spider-Gwen or people would figure it out! That's like Superman being called SuperClark...
Make sure you catch this one, Fanboys, because it's going to be hard to find as a back issue...
From Marvel:
This February, Marvel's newest, sensational spider-woman is coming back to comic shops in the highly anticipated SPIDER-GWEN #1! Spinning directly out of the pages of the Amazing Spider-Man’s SPIDER-VERSE and the red-hot, sold-out Edge of Spider-Verse #2, is a new ongoing series that already has the whole comic industry buzzing! Jason Latour, Robbi Rodriguez and Rico Renzi all return to chronicle the adventures of the breakout character of 2014!
She's Gwen Stacy. She's smart, tough, and charming. She drums in a punk rock band and goes to high school just like you. Only she can lift a car and has spider powers! Just don't tell her father, NYPD Police Chief George Stacy! But you knew all that already! What you don't know is Gwen is back home following the events of Spider-Verse and you won't believe what she's got waiting for her!
"It's a rare character that gets the public outcry that Spider-Gwen got," says Senior Editor Nick Lowe. "From the sell-out of Gwen's first appearance to the groundswell on Twitter we're excited to bring more Spider-Gwen into the world with the creators who started it all!"
Now is your chance to get on board with the breakout character of the year as she makes her bombastic debut into her very own ongoing series. Don't miss out when Gwen Stacy swings in to comic shops this February in SPIDER-GWEN #1!
