What will Kraven and Castle do with that isotope? Is there anyone Gwen can turn to for help or is she fighting this fight alone? The plot is fantastic and the dark blue and violent red colors go well with the dark storyline. Included is a comic that takes place on Halloween where Gwen and the Mary Janes go trick or treating and wind up at the haunted Carnival. Will the trick be on them?

This book was delivered quickly and in good shape.

<i>Spider-Gwen, Volume 2: Weapon of Choice</i> collects <i>Spider-Gwen</i> vol. 2, nos. 9-13 written by Jason Latour with art by Robbi Rodriguez and colors by Rico Renzi and Lauren Affe (on issue 10). This story follows the events of the <i>Spider-Women</i> crossover in which the Earth-65 Cindy Moon stole Gwen’s powers. She got the power-up device from Earth-65 Jesse Drew, but can only use it sparingly, which is a problem with Frank Castle coming after her and her father. The action builds to a head in this volume, though it’s primarily set-up and doesn’t really have a conclusion. Latour’s writing continues to entertain and Rodriguez’s art and Renzi’s colors make this one of the best-looking comics around. Great fun for fans of Spider-Gwen!

Spider Gwen is a fun and spirited comic. She struggles like a young adult and navigates her way through the maze of responsibility. I’ve been collecting all these books.

Spider-Gwen has to be one of the most relatable heroes in print today and my personal favorite. If you're a fan of the other books you will enjoy this one. It picks up after the events in the Spider-women cross over TPB so you may want to check that out before reading this, however I don't feel it's entirely necessary to understand what's going on.

I can't say enough good things about this series. The character is great, the artwork is great, the story is excellent. The alternate universe frees you as the reader from having to know 50+ year's of comic history, and in turn sets the writer free as well. Spider -Gwen has become the only Marvel book ill read.

Story is great and got it the next day even though it's a two day shipping. I'm looking forward to collecting the series. But am confused about gwen start as spiderwoman

Great series!!! Enjoyed reading this while taking the train on a four hour trip!

Só essa capa que eu não entendi porque está diferente.

Very good artwork and story. This was bought as a present and was enjoyed by them. The twist of a strong female lead appealed to me as a female role model for children and young adults

So, the visuals remain strong in vol. 2, but the overall quality of the story has definitely decreased. Spider Gwen's situation has gotten worse rather than better; she definitely isn'the winning yet, and her family is in as bad of shape as the parker family. Not to mention Marvel's less successful "hero's" (sales wise) continue (like in vol. 1) to ursurp the success of whatever sales this comic series has made thus far "VIA team ups". FYI, they're own books are on life support, or so I've heard. A major negative trend I am beginning to notice, is that anyone with super powers who happens to be male in this series, is considered a super villian; meaning political agendas, have finally began to overshadow the story's plot. That's too bad.

One of my favorite characters to come out of Spider-Verse and now she is in her own book, AWESOME!!!

If you like the character this fleshes out her back story more than all the guest appearances in other spider man books
