Rating: 3/5
I really like the concept behind this book. It is a spin-off of the Spiderverse series. Instead of Peter Parker getting bit by a spider and becoming the star it is Gwen Stacy.
There are some familiar problems for Spider-Man fans as Gwen struggles to balance crime fighting and her personal life. Things fall apart pretty quickly for her though.
The costume is great. It plays into her personality and current trends really well. Gwen and MJ are in a band, which felt right for the series. These are a couple of elements that helped the book shine.
The creators have a different take on some classic characters as well. This makes sense with the change in the universe, but it doesn't always work for me. The appearance of another Spiderverse character in chapter three is perfect though.
It is a fun book that reads really quickly. There isn't a lot of depth to the characters though. They easily could have been developed more within the space given.
