It did not work, nor did much else about The Amazing Spider-Man 2, causing Sony to scrap the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man era. Yet thanks to Dan Slott's Spider-Verse event later that year, Gwen returned in the form of Spider-Gwen, a heroic variant who received the radioactive spider bite in her world instead of Peter.

When comic book creators have such a character in their repertoire, they have an element that can lead to ticking clock narratives or mirrored dimensional conundrums. But not all writers and artists play with these characters on a grand scale. Sometimes, the most fascinating element of a story is treated as window dressing, which is the case in Seanan McGuire and Takeshi Miyazawa's Ghost-Spider #1.

]]> Sun, 25 Aug 2019 20:15:28 GMT https://www.cbr.com/review-ghost-spider-1/ Ever since making her debut as part of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Spider-Verse event, Spider-Gwen has been one of comic’s biggest breakout characters. With a great costume, personality and history, the Spider-Woman of Earth 65 has well established her place in the larger scale of the Marvel Universe, even making her way to the big screen. Part of what makes her so intriguing are the differences between her and the original web-slinger, Peter Parker. While neither is better than the other, each comes with their own quirks and distinctions that give them certain advantages depending on the situation. To acknowledge those differences, here is our list of 5 reasons why Spider-Gwen is the strongest Spider-person and 5 why it will always be Peter.

]]> Fri, 28 Jun 2019 22:00:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/reasons-why-spider-gwen-is-the-strongest-always-be-peter/ Spider-Gwen is getting a brand-new series this summer and a new superhero codename to go along with it as she makes her way back to the main Marvel Universe.

]]> Thu, 23 May 2019 23:03:26 GMT https://www.cbr.com/spider-gwens-new-series-joe-quesada-variant/ Marvel's Ghost-Spider (formerly known as Spider-Gwen/Spider-Woman) is headed for a major relaunch that will see Earth-65's resident Spider-hero spending a lot more time on Earth-616.

]]> Sun, 19 May 2019 18:05:37 GMT https://www.cbr.com/marvel-ghost-spider-spider-verse-relaunch/ Spider-Gwen is the massively popular Web Warrior created by Jason Labtour and Robbi Rodriguez for Dan Slott’s Spider-Verse event in Marvel Comics. She hails from Earth-65 and is an alternate version of Peter Parker’s late girlfriend, Gwen Stacy. She was bitten by a radioactive spider that granted her extraordinary abilities, thus making her Spider-Woman!

]]> Thu, 25 Apr 2019 00:00:05 GMT https://www.cbr.com/best-spider-gwen-cosplays-marvel/ As one of the most popular, iconic Marvel Comics characters created within the past decade, Spider-Gwen, the Spider-Woman of Earth-65, has thrilled fans around the world, leading to legions of cosplayers and merchandising even before the character's big screen debut in the Academy Award-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

]]> Wed, 27 Mar 2019 20:00:57 GMT https://www.cbr.com/gwenom-powers-facts-secrets/ From 1988 to 1990, comic book artist Todd McFarlane served as the penciller for Marvel's Amazing Spider-Man series, during which time he co-created the iconic Spidey villain Venom alongside writer David Michelinie. Years later, writer Jason Latour and artist Robbi Rodriguez reimagined the classic Spider-Man character Gwen Stacy, creating the hero Spider-Gwen in the process.

]]> Mon, 21 Jan 2019 01:32:41 GMT https://www.cbr.com/venom-co-creator-todd-mcfarlane-offers-his-take-on-spider-gwen/ A new piece from popular comic book movie fan artist Boss:ogic provides a photorealistic look at the character Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman from Sony Pictures Animation's Golden Globe-winning film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2019 04:05:22 GMT https://www.cbr.com/into-the-spider-verse-bosslogic-art-live-action-spider-gwen/ Even though Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse isn't quite out yet at the time of writing this, the dimension-hopping animated film is already poised to get a pair of sequels. In addition to a full sequel, one of the movie's follow-ups will reportedly focus on the women of the Spider-Verse. Even though Spider-Man's world has usually revolved around Peter Parker, the Marvel Universe is filled with female heroes and villains who are just as powerful as Parker. As Spidey's web has grown to include a larger swath of Marvel's multiverse, many of these characters have flourished in comic book storylines like 2015's Spider-Verse and 2018's Spider-Geddon crossover. Where Peter Parker famously operated as a solo hero for the majority of his existence, many of these characters proved that Spider-Man really does have some amazing friends out there.

]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2018 18:01:11 GMT https://www.cbr.com/spider-gwen-name-change-explained/ The solicitation text for Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider #4, which is slated to hit comic shops in January, reveals Gwen Stacy will get a brand-new power over the course of the ongoing Spider-Geddon event. However, this new ability will come with a heavy cost.

]]> Tue, 16 Oct 2018 21:39:44 GMT https://www.cbr.com/spider-geddon-gwen-new-power/ It’s a sad fact that male super-heroes get a lot more on-screen time than female ones. The MCU may be great in many ways but it still gives short scenes to Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, and others. Their TV shows are a bit better with Jessica Jones and the female characters of Runaways. DC isn’t much better. True, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow give female characters their due but it still focuses on guys more. That could be changing thanks to the success of Wonder Woman and the upcoming Captain Marvel that is getting attention. Thus, there is a lot more potential for some super heroines to get more screen time.

]]> Thu, 27 Sep 2018 22:00:25 GMT https://www.cbr.com/female-superheroes-more-screen-time/ Being a Spider-hero in the Marvel Multiverse means using your power responsibly -- but what happens to a hero with a profound sense of obligation? Especially when that hero hails from a world where there aren't as many superheroes to help, out and the villains are looking to exploit her noble nature? Plus, what sort of responsibility does this Spider hero have to themselves and the people in her life? Those were the central questions that fueled writer Jason Latour and artist Robbi Rodriguez's Spider-Gwen, a series set on alternate Earth where a radioactive spider bite transformed Gwen Stacy into Spider-Woman.

]]> Thu, 20 Sep 2018 18:01:54 GMT https://www.cbr.com/spider-gwen-ghost-spider-interview-seanan-mcguire/ The biggest success to come out of Spidey-Verse was without a doubt Spider-Gwen. The character was meant as a bit of a throw-away from a tie-in miniseries to the event, not intended for the heights she’s since reached. But with a singular sense of style, an intriguing take on the familiar concepts of the Marvel universe and a fresh new perspective on what it means to be a Spider, she’s grown into a stand-alone hero in her right.

]]> Fri, 17 Aug 2018 17:01:03 GMT https://www.cbr.com/spider-punk-new-spider-gwen/ It was only last week that Marvel played coy, teasing the continuation of Spider-Gwen's superhero antics in a new series, one that was advertised as the beginning of the Ghost Spider. By all accounts, it seemed like Marvel was set on changing the character's unique moniker, in order to set her apart from the rest of the Spider-related characters.

]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2018 20:49:58 GMT https://www.cbr.com/marvel-officially-names-spider-gwen-ghost-spider/ It's been nearly four years since Marvel's Edge of Spider-Verse comic gave us the alternate universe hero Spider-Gwen. Instead of Gwen Stacy dying to hurt Peter Parker, she was bitten by a radioactive spider and has used her powers to fight crime in her homeworld of Earth-65. Despite being from another universe, she's still gotten chances to hang around with other heroes from the prime Marvel Universe, particularly Jessica Drew and Silk.

]]> Tue, 05 Jun 2018 15:01:58 GMT https://www.cbr.com/spider-gwen-evil-daredevil-fight/ In issue #2 of the 2014 event prologue anthology series Edge of Spider-Verse, writer Jason Latour, artist Robbi Rodriguez and colorist Rico Renzi gave readers an exciting new take on the Marvel Universe and one of its flagship characters. The story took readers to Earth-65 and introduced them to that world's Spider-Woman, Gwen Stacy -- Peter Parker's first love, who died decades ago in Marvel's mainline continuity. Gwen's costume and her world's similar yet strikingly different take on the Marvel Universe made her an instant fan favorite. So when the Spider-Verse event wrapped in 2015, the Spider-Woman of Earth-65 graduated to her own ongoing series, Spider-Gwen.

]]> Thu, 24 May 2018 18:34:30 GMT https://www.cbr.com/spider-gwen-final-story-arc-interview/ For three years, Marvel Comics has put out monthly issues of Jason Latour and Robbi Rodriguez's Spider-Gwen. What began as a simple one-shot during 2015's Spider-Verse event, wherein an alternate universe Gwen Stacy did not die, got spider powers and became a hero in her own right, has become something of a phenomenon. Her adventures with her original creative team will be coming to an end this summer.

]]> Fri, 26 Jan 2018 05:00:09 GMT https://www.cbr.com/spider-gwen-28/ When Marvel announced its plans to launch a new animated franchise dubbed "Marvel Rising," which will center around a film titled Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors starring Spider-Gwen, Squirrel Girl, Ms. Marvel, Quake, Inferno, America Chavez, Patriot, Captain Marvel and new Inhuman Exile, it shocked fans by announcing that Spider-Gwen will have a new code name in the series - Ghost-Spider!

]]> Sat, 09 Dec 2017 16:01:05 GMT https://www.cbr.com/spider-gwen-ghost-spider-name-change/ Earlier today, Marvel announced a new animated franchise called Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors. The cast of heroes includes well known figures such as both Ms. and Captain Marvel, Squirrel Girl and Spider-Gwen (though she'll be going by the name Ghost Spider here, for some reason). The latter hero, created by Jason Latour and Robbi Rodriguez, is an alternate reality version of Spider-Man where the spider bit Gwen Stacy rather than Peter Parker. Something about the announcement, even though it's for an animated project, has us wondering if Men may find herself swinging over to Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

]]> Sat, 23 Sep 2017 00:55:05 GMT https://www.cbr.com/spider-gwen-24/ spider-gwen is a relatively new member of the spider-man pantheon, debuting in 2014 as part of the spider-verse storyline. she's from an alternate reality in which peter parker's childhood friend, gwen stacy, is the one bitten by a radioactive spider instead of parker himself. in an neat inverse of the fate of the original gwen stacy, it's gwen who fails to save peter in the former's origin story, accidentally killing the kid after he tries to make himself radioactive and cool just like her. in spider-verse, she assists a cadre of spider-peeps from all corners of the multi-verse recruiting help in defeating the villain morlun and his family. the character was so popular, she was granted her own series, and spider-gwen was released in 2015 with a 25-issue run.

]]> Sat, 08 Jul 2017 15:52:31 GMT https://www.cbr.com/spider-gwen-venom-gwenom-marvel-legacy/ Earth-65, the setting for Marvel Comics' Spider-Gwen series, is home to a number of familiar but decidedly different takes on iconic characters. These new takes on classic faces include the book's titular character, Gwen Stacy, who became her reality's Spider-Woman after being bitten by a radioactive spider. Under the guiding hands of writer Jason Latour and artist Robbi Rodriguez, we've met some of Gwen's deadly foes like Peter Parker and Harry Osborn, the former and current incarnations of the Lizard, and Matt Murdock, the Kingpin of Crime who currently has Gwen under his thumb.
