Spoilers After The Break: Unbelievable Gwenpool #1 Review

For a character that’s been dead since 1973 and outside of some clone shenanigans has never been resurrected, Gwen Stacy sure is popular these days.  Probably much to known hater Tom Kelly’s chagrin, Gwen just launched a second title that she is headlining.  After the break, a brief history of Gwen and a look (with possible spoilers) at Unbelievable Gwenpool #1.

Bento Review: Edge Of Spider-Verse

Comic Bento apparently wanted me to horn on the storied work of one James “Jimmy” Impossible, who wrote extensively on all things Spider-Verse.  I mean, he wrote seven long posts chronicling every inch of Spider-Verse.  That was before he went insane trying to do the same with Convergence and the entirety of Secret Wars.  See the efforts of his madness with parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Heck, Jimmy covered all the issues in this trade in the third part of his work there.  But I’m writing a review, while Jimmy was giving a plot summary/commentary.  That’s my excuse and I am sticking to it.

Bento Review: Alice Cooper Volume One: Welcome To My Nightmare

I’ll give the folks at Comic Bento this much:  they routinely send me stuff I would normally never read.  It hasn’t always been worth it, but it happens.

Which would explain why I’d ever be writing a review for Alice Cooper.

In this installment, we will look at the prelude issues leading up to the Spider-Verse main event.

A Spoiler Filled Walk On The Great Web Of Spider-Verse, Part One

When the comic book scholars of the future look back on Spider-Verse they may view the crossover as a disappointment. I can see that. There really isn’t much meat on the bone here. Most issues are generally the same:

• introduce or revisit a Spider-Man from an alternate dimension
• Inheritors attack
• multiversal Spider-Men show up to help
• some live, some die, the survivors escape
• Inheritors move onto the next dimension in search of another meal

Pretty standard and repetitive stuff. But to take this view, is to miss the whole fun of Spider-Verse. The interaction of all these Spiders new and old amongst themselves and the Inheritors. Checking in on old favorites. Seeing the fate of Spider-Men you grew up watching on TV. I’m sure we’ll have Spider-Man multiverse crossovers again in the future (*cough*Secret Wars*cough*) but likely never to this degree again.
