This December, we'll get caught in the twisted web of Earth-65's Gwen Stacy in an all-new Spider-Gwen limited series.
First announced at last month's San Diego Comic-Con, the newly titled Spider-Gwen: Smash will be written by Melissa Flores (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and illustrated by Enid Balám (Kate Bishop: Hawkeye).
One of the Spider-Verse's biggest stars, Gwen Stacy, the superhero also known as Ghost-Spider (though she's never really shaken that "Spider-Gwen" moniker), will return to her native dimension for an action-packed music tour gone wrong. On the road, we and Gwen will meet awesome new Earth-65 versions of popular heroes, including music legends Dazzler and Lila Cheney, deadly new villains, and more.
The Mary Janes are off on a four-city tour as the opening act to one of Earth-65's biggest rock bands. Gwen has promised the band that this big break will be all about the music. No web-slinging, just drums. But when a mysterious assassin targets the headliner, Gwen begins to wonder how she got this gig in the first place.
"I am having the time of my life writing this limited series!" Flores says. "Getting to explore Gwen Stacy's musical side as she goes on tour with the Mary Janes in her home dimension is an utter delight."
"Not only will the limits of Spider-Gwen's aka Ghost-Spider's powers be tested against some unexpected new enemies, but so will her relationships. There isn't an escape portal to another world when things get uncomfortable inside a tour bus!"
It's been just shy of a decade since Spider-Gwen was introduced and she's become a firm fan-favourite. On screen, we've seen her take centre stage in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, though the web-slinging superhero has yet to make her live-action debut (which feels overdue).
You can check out the main cover by David Nakayama below, along with variants by Elizabeth Torque and Peach Momoko. Stay tuned for more on Spider-Gwen: Smash as we have it.
