So here's my first Video Review for 2010
There's something I edited out of this video (for time purposes) that I wanted to share with you... I never got the chance of explaining why Gwen Stacy was my favorite character:
When I was 10 years old my family and I moved to a new house where I found this box of old stuff. In the box there were two comic books, a Batman one (Which I remember nothing of) and a Spider-Man comic. The Spider-Man comic was a tie-in to the Clone Saga storyline, and in the comic Scarlet Spider and Spider-Man were confronting the Jackal. In the comic book Jackal reveals he had cloned Gwen Stacy, it left me in a cliffhanger because the building collapsed and Gwen walked away.
After that this Gwen character intrigued me, so I went to the library and looked for anything I could find on her, investigated her on the internet etc...
5 years later I walk into a Boarders book store and see an Ultimate Spider-Man comic book. It was number 99 but two things attracted me: The side said "Clone Saga: Part 3" and the blond girl on the cover who I recognized (for some reason) as Gwen Stacy.
The funny thing is that my first comic book was on the Gwen Stacy clone during the clone saga, and on USM 99 (my first comic book BTW) the story was about Peter Parker finding the Gwen Clone during the clone saga...
So yeah... that's how I got into comic books... Tell me what you think!

THE STORY:
Gwen Stacy meant everything to Peter Parker...and then she was gone, murdered by the Green Goblin. When the Scarlet Witch shifted reality in HOUSE OF M, Peter got to live the dream of marrying Gwen and raising a son...but soon that, too, was gone. But what would happen if Gwen didn't vanish along with the rest of the HOUSE OF M? In other words, WHAT IF GWEN STACY SURVIVED THE HOUSE OF M? In the first feature, questions about what would happen between Gwen and Peter, between Peter and Mary Jane, and, indeed, what would happen to reality itself are answered as only Sean McKeever (Teen Titans) can. Joining him are Dave Ross (AVENGERS WEST COAST) with paints by Jorge Molina (X-MEN: MANIFEST DESTINY - NIGHTCRAWLER). Guest-starring THE NEW AVENGERS, DOCTOR STRANGE and VILLAINS GALORE! In the second feature, Peter Parker returns home from the House of M reality -- but he’s not alone. Gwen and Richie have made the trip as well -- along with something far more problematic. Far more sinister. And it will threaten to destroy not only himself and his loved ones, but everything Spider-Man stands for! “WHAT IF GWEN & RICHIE PARKER EXISTED OUTSIDE OF HOM?” by Frank Tieri (EXCALIBUR) and Brian Haberlin (Spawn). Plus a “SAY WHAT?” comedy strip by Mike Gallagher (Mad Magazine) and Dave Manak (Spy Vs. Spy). Rated T
