Written by Christos Gage with art by Todd Nauck, Gwen Stacy's first-ever solo series launched way back in 2019 and presented a thrilling never-before-told Silver Age mystery that saw a pre-Spider-Man Gwen go up against villains like Green Goblin and Kingpin. Despite being a hit with fans, the story was left unfinished due to COVID, but that changes this August in Giant-Size Gwen Stacy #1!
In that, we'll get a reprinting of the first two issues, and, for the first time ever, the final three issues!
Gwen and Peter may not have met until Amazing Spider-Man #31, but that doesn't mean Gwen's life began on that page. Meet Gwen Stacy, beauty queen of Standard High, sure, but so much more. Science whiz Gwen Stacy (you don't think she landed in Peter's advanced science classes at ESU because of her good looks, did you?) has an indomitable spirit that, much to her police Captain dad's chagrin, gets her into serious trouble...a lot.
This in-continuity story will see Gwen tackle a Marvel Universe-spanning conspiracy that has her cross paths with dangerous Marvel villains and team up with the original X-Men.
"Unfortunately, COVID put the series on hold after just two issues, and it's been a while, but...Gwen is back!" Gage said in a press release shared today. "And I couldn't be happier! Ever since I was a kid, Marvel's Giant-Size books have held a special place in my heart, so I couldn't think of a better, more exciting way for Gwen to return. I thank everyone who's waited so long, kept asking about the book and retained their enthusiasm for it...I hope you find it worth the wait!"
