Since her mythos-shattering debut nearly 10 years ago, Gwen Stacy of Earth-65, aka Ghost-Spider, has become one of Marvel Comics’ biggest breakout stars! This May, after multiple hit solo series and appearances across both the big and small screen, she’s ready to relocate to the 616 for good in her latest ongoing series, SPIDER-GWEN: THE GHOST-SPIDER!
This exciting new era for the character will be penned by rising star writer Stephanie Phillips (Capwolf & the Howling Commandos) and drawn by newcomer Federica Mancin, last year’s Marvel Art Atelier Challenge winner who made her acclaimed debut in Miles Morales: Spider-Man.
Hailing from an alternate Earth where the fateful radioactive Spider bit Gwen instead of Peter Parker, Ghost-Spider has had wild adventures in both her home dimension and the main Marvel Universe. Now a permanent resident of the iconic 616, the young hero’s new status quo will open the door to exciting new storytelling opportunities as she struggles to adjust to a world not her own and is forced to confront the tragic legacy of 616’s own Gwen.
Hitting the ground running as New York’s next great hero, she’ll gain both new enemies and new friends, but the mystery behind her entrapment looms large, threatening to shatter her trust with her fellow Spider-Heroes… Why did she leave Earth-65? Why aren’t the other spiders supposed to know she’s here? Why isn’t she supposed to suit up? And who will get hurt when she does?
