Summary:
Gwen Stacy was forced to leave her universe and go into hiding for a very specific reason, and it has everything to do with the power she accidentally absorbed. Yes, it started out as Gwen’s desperate move to protect her universe, but now it’s causing problems everywhere.
Currently, that problem is named Loki. King Loki wants the power within Gwen, and no, that’s not a metaphor. You see, he wants the Cosmic Cube, and the only way he’s getting that is by figuring out how to control this hero. Good luck with that.
Review:
Wow. Okay. I was not expecting such a twist in Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider. One moment, we’re in New York of Earth-616, dealing with a new set of antagonists (complete with a potential romantic interest), the next we’re off in space, dealing with Cosmic Cubes and Loki.
Honestly, I love Gwen, but I feel like Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider Vol. 3 jumped the shark a little bit. Unsurprisingly, this volume marks the end of this particular part of Gwen’s series. The only good news is that another series is already in the works, so that’s something.
Don’t get me wrong, there are some decent parts in Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider Vol. 3. The Loki versus Loki bits were interesting, and I loved the Phoenix cameo. It had the potential to be something interesting. However, the powerscale is all over the place, and thus the plot goes for a strange ride.
It goes without saying that I’ll be reading the new Ghost-Spider series. I’ll always read Gwen’s series, if we’re being honest (even if I do get a bit behind, here and there). However, I’m not sure what to expect at this point.
Highlights:
- Ghost-Spider
- Now in Earth-616
- Cosmic Cube Chaos
