Gwen Stacy is Back and She’s Here to Slay in a New Comic Book Series
This May, Cavan Scott and Stefano Nesi launch a new ‹ Gwenpool › comic book series that introduces a twisted new take on the fan-favorite hero.
Her death is the most heart-wrenching moment in comic book history. Her return will be the most outrageous! Teased last week, prepare for the unthinkable with the resurrection of GWEN STACY!
The mad men responsible are New York Times bestselling author Cavan Scott (STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC) and rising star artist Stefano Nesi, who will bring back Spider-Man’s first love as a coldblooded killer this May in a new GWENPOOL series!
Gwen Stacy returns as the darker, deadlier, and even more unhinged GWENPOOL, and who better to help Spidey navigate this soul-crushing revelation than the medium-shattering, attention-seeking Marvel Comics superfan that is the original Gwenpool!
It’s a wild team-up as the pair race to solve this unhinged mystery before it’s too late—because Gwendolye Poole knows better than anyone that there’s definitely not enough page time for two Gwenpools!
GWENPOOL IS BACK AND MORE DANGEROUS THAN EVER!
Everyone’s favorite reality-twister’s life is changing. A grittier doppelganger is bringing her own brand of hyper-violent justice to a battle-strewn NYC! Who is this dark Gwenpool? And what does she want with the Amazing Spider-Man? Kate Bishop and Jeff the Land Shark guest-star in a comic series that will shock you to your core!

On Sale 5/14On the bold decision to resurrect Gwen, Scott said, "What an absolute honor! To tear both Gwenpool AND Spider-Man’s worlds apart? Yes please! Gwen Stacy is back from the grave and deadlier than ever. Weapon-X style abilities? Check. A line in killer put-downs? You’ve got it.
« This is NOT the Gwen you remember. But just who is behind her miraculous resurrection? And what has happened to the original Gwenpool’s usually careful existence? Add Kate Bishop and Jeff the Land Shark to the mix and you have the Marvel series of my dreams! »
The series marks the Marvel Comics debut of artist Stefano Nesi, known for his acclaimed recent work on Batman.
« I couldn’t ask for a better partner than Stefano Nesi on art! » Scott continued. « Mega-violence has never been so much fun, each frenzied attack brought to dark, brooding life by Matt Milla’s blistering colors. Monsters, mayhem and murder await as Spider-Man and Kate learn that nothing—or no one—is sacred! »
Chad Hardin and Greg Land’s covers for the first issue reveal the new Gwenpool in action while artist Jeehyung Lee delivers a stunning depiction of the beloved classic Gwenpool. In addition, Paco Medina’s foreboding promotional artwork of Gwen’s grave will also be available as a GWENPOOL #1 variant cover.

Bah mince, j’aime bien.
Attends de lire l’épisode en entier, quand même (mais les pages intérieures sont plus engageantes que la couverture, c’est vrai)
J’ai tellement hâte.
Pathétique. Oh, pas uniquement parce que le projet de cette série est bien de ressusciter Gwen Stacy (!) pour en faire une tueuse (!) du Projet Arme-X (!) sous le pseudonyme X-31. Mais bien parce que cet élément, ce pitch, ce qui est déjà annoncé… n’est que le cliffhanger d’un épisode où l’on voit, un peu, cette Gwen super-tueuse qui s’entraîne puis est envoyée liquider des Deathloks par un chef mystérieux. On switche ensuite sur Gwenpool qui « aide » Spider-Man et Kate Bishop face à Fin Fang Foom, avec ses super-pouvoirs abusifs et lourds. Elle est ensuite attaquée par les Deathloks, l’autre Gwen la sauve et se révèle à un Spider-Man troublé par une menace cosmique.
Et c’est pathétique, oui. Car, au-delà de l’idée débile et nulle, ce #1 est une « arnaque » car le pitch annoncé n’intervient qu’à la fin d’un épisode lourd, long et maladroit. Cavan Scott est correct sur les comics High Republic (même si son ultime volume m’ennuie), mais son scénario est ici basique, faible et trop facile. Stefano Nesi propose des planches correctes, mais l’ensemble est une telle arnaque que ça gâche tout.
Une idée pourrie doublée d’une escroquerie, formidable lancement.
