The tale continues in Ghost-Spider #4. Gwen Stacy, aka Ghost-Spider, aka Spider-Gwen, has finally regained balance in her life. She's now successfully juggling her social life, hero life, school, and band. And she's doing so flawlessly.
Dark Spaces: Wildfire #1 is the first issue in a new series by Scott Snyder and Hayden Sherman, so I had to give it a try! Set during the Arroyo Fire, this series covers a group of inmate firefighters – and the dangers (plus temptations) they will face alongside the smoke and ash.
Have you ever wanted to see the Scarlet Witch duke it out in the dreamscape? Well, I have good news for you – you need to read Scarlet Witch #2! Thus far, this series has turned out to be everything I could have hoped or dreamed of (pun intended. Sorry, not sorry).
She-Hulk #9 continues the dramatic arc of Jen and Jack. We all know that things are going to go horribly wrong and soon. Yet we can't seem to look away. At least, I know I can't. I've got to see what's next.
Ghost-Spider #3 brings us a confident and happy Gwen Stacy, perhaps a little too confident, as she seems to keep tempting fate. And you know that never works well for anybody wearing the Spider Mantle.
Earthdivers #1 is the start of a brand new series by IDW. It's written by Stephen Graham Jones – one of the best horror authors around. So you just know this series will hit you right in the feels and then some. The series begins in the year 2112, with the world in ruins. As it turns out, the scientists may have been right when they warned us about those rising oceans. Whoops. One group of people may have a solution to everything gone wrong – they just have to go back in time and kill Christopher Columbus.
Annnnd we're off! By that, I mean it's time to dive into a new plot arc in Captain Marvel #43. As the title suggests (Revenge of the Brood), this is likely to be an intense arc, and I cannot wait to see how it plays out.
Gwen is back! Again! This time she’s back with a new title and name. It’s something that they’ve been building for over a year now, but it’s still exciting to see it in action. Now it’s time for Gwen to rock the new Ghost-Spider name.
One of the many things I love about long-running comic series is that they understand the value of palette cleansers. Captain Marvel #42 is set between arcs, meaning it's a little lighter and much less intense than other plots. In other words, it's a bit of a break in all the chaos that is Captain Marvel's story.
One of the things I love the most about graphic novels is that they can make such complex subjects feel so approachable. This is especially true when sharing perspectives with the world and helping people understand what others experience.
