-The events of Spider-Verse are over, and we're back in the universe where Gwen Stacy is Spider-....well, to US she's known as Spider-Gwen, but to everyone in her universe, she's known as Spider-Woman. But, as not to confuse anyone (myself included), here on this blog, she's going to be refered to as Spider-Gwen.
The Good: Just about everything. Things in this universe are very familiar, but yet there's some pretty big differences. I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved this book. There's so many GREAT artists, doing FANTASTIC work in this issue, it's very easy to overlook someone. So, I'm going to start with Rico Renzi's colors. They literally make the book.He gives the book an almost water color like feel, but also, the colors in this book pop right out of the page. The letters by Clayton Cowles play a giant part of the book, and they're just as fantastic as the rest of the components that make up this issue. I don't really need to mention Jason LaTour's writing and Robbie Rodriguez's art, do it? They're both just plain AWESOME!!!
The Bad: The only complaint that I have about this book si that it uses a LOT of Marvel characters, but in this universe, they're not at all what they are in the 616 Marvel U. It gets to be a little much by the end of the book, so I hope that this has less of a role in future issues. I'd rather see some original characters show up in this book than "Police Officer Ben Grimm",
What you should do: Holy crap, you have GOT to get this book. And add it to your pull list. Or subscribe to it on Comixolgy. Whatever you have to do to read it, do it. Except for illegally downloading it. That's just wrong. My point is, go get this NOW!!!!!
