rogue_runner's review against another edition
1.0
I did not like this one. The plot seemed to start off from somewhere previously (but this is volume 1!). There was nothing really new about this one that seemed to overly separate itself from the original Spiderman, and I didn't get much of Gwen's flavour through it. Some of the art was interesting, but overall it was a bit of a mess plot-wise, with the storyline difficult to follow through pages that didn't seem to connect properly.

De la nueva ola de superheroes que Marvel ha estado entregando, Spider Gwen puede ser el mas osado. Estamos hablando de una nueva historia donde Gwen Stacy fue la mordida por una araña mutante y Peter Parker es el que muere en manos de un enemigo.
Es interesante y bastante atrevido, mas me hubiera gustado que tocaran el tema de como Gwen obtuvo sus poderes y como llegamos al punto en el que su padre sabe todo esto.
Pros: Atrevido pero con una historia lo suficientemente bien hecha como para querer seguir leyendo mas.
Contras: Al ser una historia alternativa, no puede encajar con los Avengers que ya conocemos y cada personaje es nuevo.
3/5 estrellas

I love the artwork but the characters feel a bit bland to me in this issue. I hope it improves as I read the next issues.

I really want to like Spider Gwen because movie Gwen Stacy is my absolute favorite but she just feels so bland here. It's annoying. The scenario is so confusing, it's annoying as hell. I expected so much from this. I wanted to see a really smart girl fighting evil but what we get here is .. I don't even know what it is. The art is amazing tho! Which is why I can't give this 2/5 stars.
Maybe I had to high expectations? But then again, even that doesn't account for all the confusion I feel regarding this series :/

Gwen Stacy is attempting to keep Spider Woman on the down low after the death of Peter Parker and her father finds out the truth. Complications arise when more giant lizards appear, and Gwen has a run-in with S.H.I.E.L.D.
This was good for a #1. I wasn't blown away, though the art work is fantastic. I really like figuring out what alternative heroes are going to show up in this 'verse - Black female Cap was SO REFRESHING. I'll definitely read on - I want to know about Murdoch and how he'll play into Gwen's world and I feel like she's getting beyond her angst and into some real character development. Next up - Volume #2!

Actual Rating: 3.5*
The art is this one is really vibrant and pops, it is the star of the show in my opinion. I feel like we are just thrown into the story without knowing what is happening or who Gwen really is. There is an opportunity to give more than just a one page summary (that wasn't helpful AT ALL) to Gwen's origin story but instead we are thrown right into the action. It isn't until the last page that you can READ a full summary of her origin story. And that was extremely helpful to understanding the plot of the story. I am going to continue with this one because I am enjoying the story but I would have liked something more.
I own a variant edition of this issue

LOVED the art and humour in this! The story was pretty great as well, although it left off on a pretty big cliff hanger!

I did not like this at all and so I'm glad I only picked up the first 2 issues and not the whole volume because not only does the artwork really not interest me, but the story is equally as uninteresting and annoying. This story introduces you to the character of Spider Gwen who is actually Gwen Stacy, but it gives you an intro which makes little sense (if you don't already know the Universe, like me) and it's very much a pow, pow, rush job tone throughout. Personally this just didn't work for me and at no point was I truly enjoying the story, characters or designs.
The story is dull. It didn't interest me at all because there's no real connection with the main character and so I didn't care at all who she was or what had happened to her. This is a major reason and example of a spin-off series where you do need to have prior knowledge to get and understand exactly who is who, how far along in the story we are and what we want to happen. Sadly I know nothing about the Spiderman series to date, and thus this really didn't interest me or make me want to read any further with the books.
I also strongly disliked the humour and 'funny' scenes within this, they didn't amuse me, they just added to my irritation and annoyance and not 'getting' it and being invested.
Overall the only reason I have continued onto the second was because I already owned it. The colours and style were plain, standard 'super-hero' comic style, nothing was overly original or new, and nothing kept me interested, sadly. Only a 1* for this.
