As teased last week, Gwen Stacy is coming back to Marvel Comics. But to make things even weirder, the formerly dead girlfriend of Spider-Man is returning as the all-new Gwenpool, in a brand-new series.
Written by Cavan Scott with art by Stefano Nesi, the new series finds the resurrected Gwen Stacy battling against the original Gwenpool, Gwendolyn Poole, and Spider-Man.
“What an absolute honor!” Scott said via press release provided to Comic Book Club. “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!”
And on the addition of Nesi, who makes his Marvel Comics debut with this title, Scott added, “I couldn’t ask for a better partner than Stefano Nesi on art! 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!”
Gwenpool #1 features covers by Chad Hardin, Greg Land, Jeehyung Lee, and Paco Medina. It will hit stores on May 14, and you can check out the official synopsis and covers, below.
