All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost Spider #1

Returning with a pretty long title, Gwen Stacy returns. Despite the character's relatively young timeline, she's gone through quite a bit of changes since first appearing just over 10 years ago. The new comic resets Gwen, setting up both her and her dad in the main Marvel Universe with Gwen having used a Cosmic Cube to fix a few issues (such as returning her spider-powers). Now set up on Earth-616, and looking to put together a new band, she's also struggling a bit with romance, and a new threat looming just out of reach.

All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost Spider #1 is a solid start with the nice surprise of including Cindy Moon although the death of a member of her band to kick things off, and a love angle with a super-villain's son with tons of his own baggage, suggests the tone of the comic may be a bit darker than what I was hoping for. That said, I enjoyed myself enough to stick around for at least another issue. 

[Marvel, $4.99]
