It's so beautifully drawn and colored.
I thought this is gonna be her story only, but it's not.

Art work was good, the colors made everything pop. I don't know much about Spider-Gwen and the multiverse so it made this first issue kind of confusing. I feel as if I was missing something.

It hasn't been so long since I left Spider-Gwen's world but I have missed her so much. This new series immediately sucked me in and kept me turning pages.
The art doesn't have the chaotic vibrancy I came to love with previous Spider-Gwen stories, but has a more muted colour palette that worked to reflect the mood of the story.
This is part of a larger ongoing series that I haven't read at all, but somehow this series remained perfectly cohesive (something I often can't say when reading Marvel comics) and the tidbits about the larger series were intriguing enough that I might go back and read that too. The story here was simple and fun and moving.
I love this character and I'm glad she's getting some more good stories.

I like the artwork, and what I've seen of Gwen's character so far. However, the pacing in this issue was odd, and I felt like I was missing a lot of information considering this is a first issue (Like, why is it such a big deal that Gwen lost her watch? No explanation.). I'll wait for the first collected edition of this title before trying it again.

So I've definitely got some catch-up reading to do but it's Seanan McGurie writing a Marvel comic, of course I was going to pick it up!

The last of the original Spider-Gwen series wasn't very good. I found the art messy and the story wasn't that good anymore. But when I saw she wasn't getting another chance at life, I was pretty excited.
Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider really brought her story back to life! I'm excited to see where this goes, and I'm really adoring the art style so far. I'm so glad the light of my life is back.

I have been looking forward to this series releasing ever since I first hear about it. And then I had to multiply that by ten when I found out one of my favorite authors had been brought into Marvel to write it. So there may be a slight bias in my rating and review, but to be fair Seanan McGuire has absolutely earned my loyalty, so it probably all balances out.
Admittedly I haven’t actually caught up with the last couple volumes of Spider-Gwen, so I’m not completely up to date, but I didn’t want to get any further behind (or wait even a single day longer to read Seanan McGuire’s version). Because of that I have clearly missed some history and context for what is happening…but all things considered not as much as I expected. Actually, if a new fan wanted to jump in here they probably could. They wouldn’t have the origin of her powers, or the antagonists she’s always up against, but what isn’t easy to guess so far hasn’t been relevant, or has been explained enough to move on with.
This was a fantastic start to the new series. It felt fun and full of life, and immediately drew me into the plot. It was great seeing Gwen back in action, and I can now see why they waited for Spider-Geddon to reboot the series.
I have always loved the way they alter everything between the universes, the ones we’re used to seeing and the ones that our characters ultimately end up getting thrown into. I can safely tell you that the trend continues in this issue, though obviously I won’t spoil any details.
The sheer level of sass on the pages of this issue is amazing. Gwen has always been fairly spot on with her banter – maybe not to the same level as Peter Parker, but close. Here we see an all new Gwen, sassing her backstory (both in the previous comics and the movie versions of herself) left and right. The subtle fourth wall breaking was refreshing, but also really quite amusing. It was a nice touch.
The artwork was perfect. It was everything I’ve come to expect for Spider-Gwen, but I feel like the artist was more freely using color in this issue. Maybe it’s my excitement talking, but it all seemed so much brighter than other comics that came out this week (I’m mainly referring to the trend of using a more grungy tone).
If you’re planning on reading Spider-Geddon and Spider-Girls at the same time, I believe there’s a specific reading order to them. At least for what released today. The order for today’s comics should be Spider-Geddon #2, Spider-Girls #1, follow by Spider-Gwen Ghost Spider #1.

As a fan of Seanan McGuire, I knew I'd have to pick up any comic that she'd written. This is especially true after I recently saw the movie, Into the Spider-verse, and fell in love with just about every version of the Spider therein. There's an immense back catalogue to work through and, obviously, new comics such as the Ghost-Spider series to work through, so thankfully I've got at least one of my favorite authors as a place to more or less start.
I liked that, even though I haven't read the preceding comics, I was able to get into this issue pretty well. There are asterisks next to key moments of dialogue that clue me into what issues I need to check out, which was something I appreciated. When you get into one series and realize there's a LOT to wade through if you're going backwards, it really helps to have the writer give you a hand.
That being said, Gwen's been through a lot and is getting back into her life in her dimension at a rough time. Freshly out of prison, she's trying to decide where her alter ego and her human identity separate when someone from her past comes to her for aid. The other Spiders are in danger and that leads to a conflict which strands Gwen in a unfamiliar world. That's saying something considering all the action she's been through in her past.
It almost sounds like there's too much to digest in a single issue, but the action flowed smoothly for me. There were familiar characters such as Gwen herself, Harry Osborn, and Spider Ham, as well as a baddie that I'm fairly certain is new? I could be wrong, but anyway, the tension this character added was just the right amount for issue one. It lead to a cliffhanger that definitely made me interested in getting the next issue.
Art wise, the colors are quite nice and the lines are clean. The style is a good one that makes it easy to track the action without being too busy. The colors, as I mentioned, are nice because there's a good balance between the bright and the dark, blending well in the shadows and the light of the cityscapes Gwen traverses.
