Spider-Gwen's costume is too fucking baller.

She's gonna be this year's Hawkguy/Ms Marvel, guarantee it, just without all the shitty delays.

We hope.

 

[Ezalc]

Awesome costume except for the blue shoes thing. Those just look weird.

 

[Broken Joystick]

I'm already in love with the people cosplaying that outfit.

 

[Lagamorph]

Love that costume.

Movie starring Emma Stone please Marvel.

 

[Avixph]

Waiting for Earth-65 take on

Peter and Osborn.

 

[anaron]

I wonder just how big the numbers for this are going to be

people were in love with her before Edge #2 was even on sale and it's on like, its fifth reprinting

200 K preorders.

 

[anaron]

200 K preorders.

I think I saw that. but yeah

JAYSUS

 

[Conscience Falls]

I really want to get a physical copy of that variant but my local comic shop just closed down..
Loved her in Spider-Verse, extremely happy she is getting her own thing.

 

[tringworldso]

What's the point of the hood if her mask covers the face? Seems redundant...

 

[Ophelion]

Peter and Osborn.

If that ever did come to light, it would be made just a little bit extra horrible by the fact that in Spider-Gwen's universe, Peter died in a super-powered brawl with Gwen while they were still in high school.

Which means that if Peter was seduced by Osborn, he would've been...what, 15? 16? At least 616 Gwen was in college at the time. Not that it makes it any less of a violation of her character. Spider-Gwen's Peter ending up with Osborn actually makes more sense to me. At least both of them are super villains.

Edit: removed spoilers when I realized the exact page I'm talking about is in the damn OP.

very useful when it rains

 

[Sadist]

That's a pretty good read.

Love the twist on certain characters.

Its going to kill. People are already saying its sold out at their shops.

Rule of cool.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

hoodies are cool

 

[PfantzyPantz]

Love the costume and I really enjoy what I'm seeing in the OP, will definitely check it out. Some of those variants are just beautiful.

 

[Cuburt]

Spider Gwen's design is definitely one of the coolest of alternate Spider people costumes.

 

[ZackieChan]

Great costume and great art. I may actually read this...

 

[super-famicom]

I just bought two issues of Issue #1, with the intent of framing one of them. I think I'm going crazy.

 

[Cipher]

That costume is way too good.

 

[BlackGhost]

Read the title as Gwen Stefani for some reason, actually kinda disappointed.

 

[wetflame]

Excellent.

Ha, just saw this. Thanks. I like to switch up my avatar every so often and this week Spider-Gwen gets the nod.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

It's a neat costume. That Campbell variant though.

Now if only he could hate on things that were truly awful, like "The New 52".

Bruh, New 52 till I die.

Was it stated that they were still in highschool when Peter turned into the Lizard?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Rico Renzi colors just brilliantly bring a calvacade of of nostalgia and futuristic hope. He's a genius.

Not hard to top Spiderman 2211

 

[akira28]

Bruh, New 52 till I die.

......if only it were that easy.

 

[JBourne]

Hopefully my CBS still has the Young variant when I swing by tonight.

 

[Aegus]

It must suck knowing that the universe usually has Peter Parker as Spider-man and you're some weird alternate what-if.

 

[super-famicom]

Was it stated that they were still in highschool when Peter turned into the Lizard?

Gwen is still in high school and Peter is her classmate, so yeah.

 

[Ri'Orius]

What's being alluded to in panels 3&4 ("Give a big welcome..." and "All the things that girl...") of the "Origin Story" image? Instead of going pro wrestler she goes pop star?

But then she's a drummer in MJ's band? Which seems weird: doesn't seem like you could be a one-man show as a drummer, but she also couldn't mix Spider-Woman and her secret identity by having the band with her... Am I missing something?

 

[Ophelion]

Was it stated that they were still in highschool when Peter turned into the Lizard?

Inferred from the sequential art on that page. Gwen is shown defending Peter from bullies on what looks to me to be a HS football field, goes from that to him giving a variant of his "I'll show them!" rant from Amazing Fantasy to him dying in Spider-Woman's arms. I guess there could be time between those events, but I interoperated it as being as close to back to back as possible.

It's not ultra strong evidence, I'll grant, but that's certainly how I read it.

Gwen is still in high school and Peter is her classmate, so yeah.

Or that. That works too.

 

[darkhunger]

That's actually brought up by Spider-Man India during the Spider-Verse event.

She's in college, not high school. Her band still practices in their old high school though.

 

[DedValve]

holy shit, I need to buy this like now.

I have new phone wallpapers! Any tablet sized/desktop sized ones?

 

[Mesoian]

Isn't the end game of this the story getting shot in the face by the whole cataclysm thing?

Not a pop star I don't think. I think she just sold her powers as a variety act on a late show or something. Host looks like some horrible fusion of Conan and Letterman. Band in the background would be the show's band if that's the case.

Captain Stacy's tutting over it is just disbelief over doing the superhero version of a Dumb Pet Tricks act.

 

[Mudcrab]

The Ultimate Universe event with Galactus?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

.......I fear for my life all of a sudden.

Not everything is gonna be cancelled after Secret Wars especially for a series that just started and has a loud fanbase that wants it like Ms. Marvel.

 

[Slayven]

People bring up the Norman thing, that is not even the worse. The Jackal kept clowning Stacy, and eventually one of the clones caught the Carrion virus decided to hunt down the rest of the clones and kill them. Then The Jackel comes back and kills her.

 

[Snaku]

Isn't the end game of this the story getting shot in the face by the whole cataclysm thing?

No, Spider-Gwen will end up in the 616 universe. Her solo comic will probably be about how she deals with that.

 

[destx]

Really cool costume, nice to see some more interesting colours being used.

Can someone make this an avatar for me?

 

[Mesoian]

The Ultimate Universe event with Galactus?

No, sorry, I was thinking of Secret Wars. I thought the whole point of that thing was to kill off all the alternate universes once and for all. It seems really odd that with that hanging in the air, especially with Catacylsm, the illuminati, the last big Thanos thing and now Secret Wars that they would start up what seems to be a fairly promising book that has the possibility of being unceremoniously wiped out by an multiseries branching storyline.

It's weird. Though I suppose there's no reason that, like Miles, Gwen couldn't come along to 616.

No, Spider-Gwen will end up in the 616 universe. Her solo comic will probably be about how she deals with that.

I really REALLY REALLY hope Marvel is learning what's working and what's not working with Agents of SMASH, because most of that book is terrible, and it looks like they're planning on doing it again with the Spiders.

 

[Palette Swap]

Isn't the end game of this the story getting shot in the face by the whole cataclysm thing?

Quite the opposite. Avengers/Secret Wars is shutting down the whole multiverse but keeping parts of it. We already know that includes Gwen. Whatever reality/universe/multiverse is on the other side of Secret Wars, we will probably see alternate universe characters folded into the main universe. Gwen is definitely a top candidate for that.

 

[y2dvd]

I think we can all agree that costume is flat out amazing.

Ahhh I see. She undoubtedly will make it over, she'll have a role in Secret Wars as well as being part of A-Force.

 

[Mesoian]

Yeah, it's super good.

 

[Village]

Waiting for Earth-65 take on

Peter and modam obviously

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

I don't usually buy new comics that aren't in trades, but I might have to check this out. I like the concept and that costume is among the best I've ever seen among superheroes.
