The chief problem with Gwenpool #1 is that the core concept has been done to death. Spider-Man fans have already seen Gwen Stacy come back as a variant and a clone. Given that, there is no sense of suspense as to how she came back here, nor any reason to believe it is the classic Gwen. While the execution is not bad, there seems little reason for this comic to exist beyond simple shock value. That's not enough when it isn't all that shocking. Read Full Review
Cavan Scott continues to impress me with every comic he writes. This new Gwenpool comic is beautifully written, and Cavan knows exactly how to make fans excited for this new run. Read Full Review
As Gwenpool #1 ponders how people and circumstances shape our characters, it reminds us how we can wake up one day and, like the Talking Heads, ask, “How did I get here?” Read Full Review
Gwenpool Issue 1 has a ridiculous ripple effect. The plot is fun, the art is exceptional, and the team-up elements are enjoyable. But as both a positive and a negative, the whole story and discourse focus on that other Gwenpool. Read Full Review
The initial work is done on establishing whats going on with this PARTICULAR Gwenpool series. With any luck, the overall action should start to pull together now that the basic premises established. Which the Central concrete revealed it should have a chance to gain some decent narrative momentum. It's just going to be a kind of a challenge getting there. And with the first issue that feels as scattered as this one does, it's going to be kind of difficult to make it really have any kind of a gravity to all of the craziness together. Read Full Review
Gwenpool is a wild, chaotic ride that perfectly captures the character's fourth-wall-breaking chaos while introducing a compelling dark twist. Cavan Scott's sharp writing and Stefano Nesi's dynamic artwork make this a fun, unpredictable adventure, though the big reveal may leave some readers puzzled. Read Full Review
Gwenpool #1 is a Gwenpool comic made exclusively for the hardest of diehard Gwenpool fans. Cavan Scott's paper-thin plot takes a backseat to constant cultural references and 4th Wall-breaking hijinks to give Gwenpool fans everything they could want. Plus, Stefano Nasi's action-heavy art is better than it has any right to be, given the script. Read Full Review
An incredibly silly comic, but at least it knows so.
