IN ONE UNIVERSE, it wasn't Peter Parker who was bitten by the radioactive spider, but Gwen Stacy! She's smart, charming and can lift a car ... just don't tell her father, the police chief. Now, in the wake of Spider-Verse, Gwen swings into her own solo adventures! And she soon finds herself between a rock and a hard place when the Vulture attacks, and NYPD Lieutenant Frank Castle sets his sights on bringing her down. Then, still haunted by Peter's death, Gwen visits his only family: Ben and May Parker. But what really happened the day Peter died? Find out right here as the spectacular Spider-Gwen steals not only the spotlight, but also the hearts of comic fans worldwide!
Well, I can say I enjoyed the art, and I liked Gwen's outfit.
The
rest was not so good. I am so disappointed by this. It sounded cool. It looked
cool! UGH! Overall, this lacked focus and context. I expected some confusion. I
knew I was jumping into the middle of a story. However, I think it was a
mistake to throw readers into the middle of 50 different plot lines without an
origin story. #confusing
Also as
I mentioned in my February Wrap Up, because the authors named this collection
Volume 0. It made me think this would be a precursor for things to come. I
believe, incorrectly, this would be an origin story or introduction. Instead,
we are plopped in the middle of a lot of plot lines. #NotAFan
I did
like Gwen and her band is kickass. I am going to continue the series, but I was
less than impressed with these first few issues.
