This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite Spider-Gwen comics to date. Okay, I know that I probably say that a lot, but bear with me. There are so many fantastic elements in this issue. There’s fighting, drama, and a major emotional decision that Gwen needs to make. It’s brilliant. Honestly, its plots like these where heroes like Gwen truly shine.
I love how much emotion was stuffed into this issue. More than that though, I love the way that emotion was portrayed. It was so raw and yet so powerful. And of course, I love the way Gwen channeled all that emotion.
Also, side note: I’m so freaking excited that the series is going to be switching over to ‘Ghost Spider’ as of August. I can’t wait! I adore the title, and I think it’ll finally give Gwen the chance she deserves to stand on her own.
