Long titles are so hot right now, and Marvel is getting in on the game with All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #1. The comic will continue the series already started by Stephanie Phillips and Paolo Villanelli, except all-new.
…And I know I’m being glib here, but the title is sort of all-new, at least in terms of the plot. While the hook of the previous Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider comic was that Spider-Gwen was trapped in the main Marvel 616 universe, the conceit of All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider is that thanks to a Cosmic Cube, reality has been rewritten so that Gwen has always been part of the main Marvel Universe.
Here’s the official synopsis, per PR from Marvel:
A BRAND-NEW DAY FOR SPIDER-GWEN!
Gwen Stacy isn’t from this Earth but she’s here to stay, so it’s time to make herself at home! A new costume, a new home life– heck, she’s even starting a new band! Unfortunately for Gwen, new threats are also heading her way, starting with one that just might be her own fault! Follow the Ghost-Spider as she settles into Earth-616 to stay!
The first issue will feature a main cover by David Marquez, along with a variant by Nogi San. All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #1 hits stores on August 20. You can check out the covers, now with a longer title and an extra hyphen, below.
