Marvel revealed the next frontier for Spider-Gwen in the upcoming arc of The Ghost Spider #11. The series from writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Paolo Villanelli pairs the alternate universe Gwen Stacey with Loki as they slip the surly bonds of Earth. For the arc and cover of the March issue, artist Mark Brooks designed a new spider themed space suit for Gwen.

In the press release, Phillips spoke about putting the alternate universe wall crawler in space, stating:

“I envisioned a Gwen and Loki storyline from the beginning of my work on Gwen, so this arc feels like the culmination of everything we’ve been building toward. Taking Gwen to space has allowed us to explore some unexpected elements of her character, especially as her optimism and hope clashes with King Loki’s nihilism. Paolo and I have worked hard to make this a unique sci-fi adventure—one that’s dark and very personal to Gwen.”
