Spider-Gwen is an ongoing comic book series published by Marvel Comics that began February 2015. The series revolves around the Gwen Stacy of Earth-65, an alternate Earth that debuted in Edge of Spider-Verse #2 as part of the 2014–15 Spider-Man event Spider-Verse. Spider-Gwen explores a universe where Gwen Stacy was bitten by the radioactive spider instead of Peter Parker, forcing her into a career as the Spider-Woman of her world.

Publication history

A spider-powered Gwen Stacy was first conceptualized by long-time Spider-Man writer Dan Slott for the Spider-Verse event; however, his initial concept was very different from what was published, which was mainly the work of Spider-Gwen creators Jason Latour and Robbi Rodriguez.[1][2] Rodriguez's design for Gwen's Spider-Woman uniform was cited as a main reason for the character's popularity, and before the issue even hit the stands, Edge of Spider-Verse #2 was an enormous hit and immediately went viral.

In October, Nick Lowe announced at New York Comic-Con 2014, that the fan-favorite Spider-Gwen that was introduced in Spider-Verse would be getting her own ongoing series after much demand.[3]

The first volume ended after the fifth issue with the character carrying over into the second volume of Spider-Verse as part of the Secret Wars event.[4] After the conclusion of the event, a second volume by the same creative team began with issue #1 as a part of Marvel's All-New, All-Different Marvel imprint.[5]

Reception

Spider-Gwen has received positive reviews from critics. IGN said "Spider-Gwen's new comic gets off to a solid start thanks to a hip tone, strong characterization, and vibrant artwork."[6] Comic Book Resources said that the first issue was "fun, familiar, energetic and invigorating, the art is engaging and the character has nothing but potential to offer. "Spider-Gwen" #1 is more than just a comic with something for everyone; it's a comic with everything for everyone."[7]

The first issue of Spider-Gwen was the third-best selling comic of February 2015, selling over 250,000 copies.[8][9]

Collected editions

The first series is being collected into a trade paperback:

  • Spider-Gwen: Volume 0: Most Wanted? (collects Edge of Spider-Verse #2 and Spider-Gwen (vol. 1) #1-5, 112 pages, November 2015, ISBN 978-0785197737)
