I'd honestly give it a 3.5 but since I enjoyed it more than disliked it, I'ma throw up that 4 star. So why did this work better than volume 0? Easy. It gave us a lot more of the positives I talked about in the first zero volume. Gwen's interaction with her father, with Cap, with Harry are all well done. The best though is the conversation with Spider-women. She's been in it forever, the marvel universe, and it's nice to see Gwen new to this getting advice. Also the dreaded question, how was Gwen...

The second volume of Spider-Gwen takes us further into the different reality of Earth-65 — a world where Matt Murdock is a bad guy, and Tony Stark sells a lot of coffee via his company “Starkbucks”. Oh, and where Gwen Stacy was bitten by the radioactive spider, and Peter Parker was the Lizard. It’s complicated and I think that to know all the little subverted and tweaked bits unique to this universe, you’d need to be a fan of Marvel bigtime. But a basic knowledge of Spider-man canon (like who th...

Holy crap does Latour need a better editor. I didn't hardly follow the story jumps in issue 1 - I *think* he was doing a whole bunch of flashback scenes, but hell if I could follow the storylines.Maybe if there was something resembling caption boxes such as "Last Fall" or "flashback eh?"Then the story winds its way through the usual teen soap plots - misunderstandings, hormone-driven impulse control issues and lots of angst and inner monologue.Many 616 characters get the special "what-if" twist....

I thought this was ok. I felt Vol. 0 was better than this one. This volume seemed to jump around and confuse me a bit. It was throwing info faster than I could connect dots. It was all action and little story in my opinion. I think I like Gwen, but this is a weird tale. What's up with Peter being dead and being the lizard. Everyone is weird. Daredevil is very strange. Why is everyone different. I don't like it. Also, she somehow hops into another universe. It wasn't even explained how it happene...

Even better than the first volume. Gwen is an endlessly appealing character for me, and I loved that this volume did more to flesh out her alternate universe. Probably because it looks like she'll be sticking around, at least for awhile longer. So we get to see her version of Captain America, Samantha Wilson, and her version of Falcon, Samantha's teenage clone. This Cap is very cool, and very worthy of the name. But it's more than just the world building. The story of this world's Peter Parker i...

Slightly better than volume 0. This one pretty much drops all interactions with her friends and focuses on her dad and Harry Osborn along with the Lizard and Captain America. My problems with the book is that it moves at a frenetic pace without explaining anything. All of the villains act stereotypically and over the top with no real motivations. S.I.L.K. is just this amorphous organization with no real substance behind it. The series has potential, Latour just needs to look at the real world to...

ORIGINALLY POSTED: http://bibliomantics.com/2016/03/31/m...Spider-Gwen’s alternate universe — Earth-65 to be more specific — has gotten a lot bigger! Enter Earth-65’s version of Captain America, Samantha Wilson, and her sidekick/male clone Sam 13, AKA Falcon, not to mention Tony Stark’s global coffee chain Stark Bucks. Pregnant Earth-616 Spider-Woman also makes an appearance and she is spectacular.

Did I read this solely because Into the Spider-Verse is the best movie I’ve seen in the past year? 1,000% yes. Solid read, but Spider-Gwen doesn’t pop on the page in this volume as much as she does in the movie, where she’s just fantastic. Still, an interesting twist on the Spidey origin story. We’ll call it right around 3.5 stars.

Can I just say that the best part of this series is that Captain America is a black female in this universe? I am here for that 🙌🏿💁🏾‍♀️

Spider-Gwen returns! This TPB edition collects “Spider-Gwen” (Vol.2) #1-6.Creative Team:Writer & Co-creator: Jason LatourIllustrator & Co-creator: Robbie Rodríguez Additional Illustrator (for issue #5): Chris Visions A LARGER WORLD Listen, Cap. Bad puns are funny now, okay? Movies are in color, and breakfast comes in burritos. Gwen Stacy of Earth-65 is the……Radioactive Spider-Gwen!!!.Of, course, nobody at that parallel Earth called her that way (duh!) since her identity is a secret, so s

In this volume 'Greater Power' Gwen seeks to learn to deal better with her powers and vigilante position; this volume also covers the struggles her cop dad is having. Things get all cray cray with the introduction of the Earth-65 Osborn family, which can only mean that surely only a few steps behind a Green Goblin will emerge? Could be better. 5.5 out of 12

3.5 stars.Heavier than Squirrel Girl and Moon Girl, yet lighter than most of Marvel's other main titles, Spider Gwen is the virgin daiquiri of the Marvel universe.I love the artwork and the use of color, and Gwen is really funny and relatable. I do hope they move on from the "Lizard Peter" and "Gwen is public enemy #1" story lines because, after two volumes of this (counting volume zero), I'm ready to explore other stories for this character.

Y’all read this three years ago, so just dipped by toes in to catch up on yet another kick-ass girl comics character. This series happens in an alt-universe, on Earth-65 (she was introduced as a character in 1965) where Gwen Stacy, not Peter Parker, was bitten by a radioactive spider. Peter is dead, Gwen both grieving and investigating. This one focuses on her and her Dad, the Lizard, Captain America. I have to say I didn’t have enough background in the Spider-verse to keep up with all the slam-...

Some fandoms have such an extensive back catalog, they are daunting for the novice who wants to dive in. What would you tell someone who wants to "start" Star Trek? Sure, they could just dive in with Discovery, but they'll have a deeper appreciation if they watch TOS or parts of TNG*, while DS9 was definitely the best spin-off. And I've looked sideways at Dr. Who I don't know how many times (especially after Imaginary Worlds podcast did a series about it), but it's been on for bajillion years no...

I felt this graphic didn't flow very well from issue to issue, but also SPIDER GWEN. So...

Hello Again!With this graphic novel, I decided to try something a bit different, I have not read any superhero (DC or Marvel) graphic novels in a long time. I saw this one on Hoopla a while back and I was really interested. In the recent animated Spiderman movie, I really loved Spider-Gwen so I decided I would totally give this a try!SPOILERS AHEADAlright, so I knew going into this that it was an alternate universe but beyond that I did not know much (now I want to admit from the start I know a

OK, I'll admit it; this book is starting to grow on me.Don't get me wrong; it still scores higher on grimaces than grins and the dayglo colour scheme gives me a migraine but... I'm gonna give it another chance.

Oh boy, I really struggled with this one. The story is all over the place, jumping around randomly from one plot point to another with no feeling of fluidity. I feel like I missed a lot as I constantly found myself confused despite reading the 'previously' section which I assume aims to sum up Volume 0. Gwen tries so hard to be cool and down with the kids, yet none of her quips land and it feels like she's doing her best Peter Parker impression; she's still better than the Captain America who ap...

This was better than Vol. 0. Maybe because I read Spider-Verse so that I got a little more background and understanding of Gwen, but I don't know. The art is still disappointing throughout this novel and overall, I'm not in love with it. I want to be, but it is lacking something to really make it memorable.

Welcome to Earth 65.  Things are a little different here.Bitten by a radioactive spider, Gwen Stacy becomes Spider-Woman.  The story picks up following the fallout of the death of Gwen's best friend Peter Parker, who had become the monstrous Lizard - a result of a science experiment gone wrong.  Convinced that the threat of the Lizard died alongside Peter, Lizard creatures emerge to prowl through the streets of New York.  Enlisting the help of Jessica Drew - this universe's Captain America - can...
