Face au succès critique de Edge of Spider-Verse #2, numéro qui présentait la Spider-Girl d’un univers alternatif incarnée par Gwen Stacy, l’éditeur Marvel Comics annonce la mise en chantier d’une série lui étant consacrée.
Rien ne dit si Jason Latour et Robbi Rodriguez seront de retour pour les aventures régulières de la jeune héroïne, mais le scénariste avait déclaré qu’il travaillait sur un nouveau mystérieux projet pour Marvel lors de l’annonce de l’annulation de sa série Wolverine & the X-Men.
Lors du panel consacré à Spider-Verse, le responsable Nick Lowe a déclaré officiellement que Spider-Gwen #1 sortira en février avec Jason Latour et Robbi Rodriguez aux manettes.
[quote]It’s going to have an impact on her as a superhero, but it’ll also wreak havoc on her life as Gwen Stacy, because to her friends and family, she went missing!
Her bandmates were already concerned because she basically blew the concert, and her father, after this big reveal, his daughter goes missing. So when she comes back from Spider-Verse, not only will she be inspired by the Spider-Men and Women she meets to sort of try to be a better hero, she will also have to pick up the pieces of being Gwen Stacy, and figuring out what that means.
So that’s really what the drive of the first arc is.[/quote]
[quote]We’ll certainly see more of « Evil » Matt Murdock, and the question we’ll be asking is what if Matt Murdock didn’t operate with his sense of guilt in place? What would it be replaced by? Something that makes him very dangerous, I can tell you that much. This Murdock has seemingly embraced a life of crime, and as we’ve seen already, has a very curious and active interest in Spider-Woman.
We’ll also see a new slant on The Vulture, a character who in traditional spider-mythos we’ve typically seen as a bitter, angry old man. Our Vulture is a bit more complex than that, a little more aware of the power his name and the imagery associated with him gives him. It’s a power we’ll see take a very strong grip on Gwen subconsciously. Especially after all she’s seen and been through.
There’s also a very familiar face in issue #1. A traditional Spider-villain with very strong ties to both Gwen and Captain Stacy who I hinted at above. We’ve re-imagined him here – and he’ll be a major and consistent threat as we move forward.[/quote]
