All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #1

The first issue of All-New Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider made me very excited to see where Stephanie Phillips takes this run. If it's anything like the last run, then I have very high hopes! Read Full Review

The spider-totems seem destined to be more reactive than proactive. As Gwen Stacy starts over on Earth-616, she's in the catbird's seat. But as Peter Parker believed he could live the dream until Hellgate's arrival, an unexpected force will Whack-A-Spider in All-New Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider #1. Read Full Review

The cameo by Silk makes for a fun addition to the series. Phillips is a really good writer. It would be really cool to see her feature silk as a major supporting character who eventually got her own title. It might be getting ahead of things to look that far into the future, but it would be really cool to have a very well rendered female slinger and of the Marvel universe regularly appearing on the comics rack. As it is, Gwen has achieved a kind of equilibrium that seems to be working quite well on the pages of a whole new series. Read Full Review

All-New Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider #1 may not be a perfect starting point for new readers, but it is one with particularly sharp hooks as we dive head forward into tense character drama and looming tragedy as we find Gwen rooted once more in the main Marvel Universe. Read Full Review

Solid book, my expectations are never high for these off-shoot character books and this one exceeded those expectations a little bit. The writing was good and the art was solid. I enjoyed the world building and picking up the pieces after the events of the last series. I'm not sure she needs Baby Tarantula in her life, in my opinion they should probably go ahead and nip that drama in the bud, but if they continue to draw out the will-they-or-won't-they sitcom plot hopefully they can find something fresh to do with it.
