At the "Amazing Spider-Man - Gang War" panel at L.A. Comic Con earlier this week, writer Melissa Flores spoke to Marvel Comics Director of Talent Relations, Rickey Purdin, about her upcoming Spider-Gwen: Smash limited series (you can read more about that by clicking here). 

However, she also revealed plans for a Giant-Size Spider-Gwen one-shot that's set to be released next March! 

That will be part of next year's 50th-anniversary celebration of the epic Giant-Size storytelling of the 1970s, a run that was home to some of the most pivotal and earth-shattering tales of the Marvel mythos. Giant-Size Spider-Gwen will follow January's Giant-Size Spider-Man #1 by Cody Ziglar and Iban Coello, and February's Giant-Size Fantastic Four #1 by Fabian Nicieza and Creees Lee.

Flores will continue to redefine Ghost-Spider's adventures in her home dimension, this time alongside rising star artist Alba Glez, as the most sinister threats of Earth-65, including a new Doc Ock, join forces to bring down their universe's greatest superhero. 

Swinging from the pages of Spider-Gwen: Smash, Gwen Stacy has finally found some balance in her home dimension. But when the remnants of the Carnage symbiote resurface in Gwen’s bandmate Mary Jane, they attract the attention of something...sinister. Orlando Octavius, the adopted son of Dr. Octopus, now has his sights set on MJ. And Spider-Gwen will have to save her friend from a gauntlet of new and terrifying villains in this oversized spectacular!

"Helping Gwen Stacy settle into her home dimension in Spider-Gwen: Smash was an incredible pleasure," Flores says. "Being given the opportunity to continue to develop those relationships in this one-shot was an unexpected jolt of euphoria that I never saw coming. I wasn't ready to leave Gwen or Earth-65 behind, and I'm so thankful that now I don't have to!"

Like all of next year's Giant-Size instalments, Giant-Size Spider-Gwen #1 will boast a cover by superstar artist Bryan Hitch and reprint a classic adventure of its titular star, Spider-Gwen #13 (2015), in which Gwen and the Mary Janes first face off against Earth-65's Mysterio. 

Check out the cover below and stay tuned for more Spider-Gwen news in the weeks ahead, including the announcement of her next series! Will that bring her back to Earth-616? Many fans will hope so, but for now, it appears the plan is for her to remain in her home reality.

Giant Size X-Men #1 is probably the most important Giant Size ever.

Until Giant Size Spider-Gwen takes over!!

Can't believe it's been 50 years since Gwen Stacy got bitten by a radioactive Peter.
