So they used Gwen to wrap up Spider-Man/Deadpool's storyline. But why is she now friendly with Wade? That goes completely against their characterisations in her solo!

They parted on friendly terms after they fought in her solo.

GWENPOOL STRIKES BACK #1 (of 5)
written by Leah Williams
illustrated by David Baldeon
cover by Terry Dodson
POOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER!
That’s right — everyone’s favorite comics-fan-turned-comics character is back, and this time, she’s playing for keeps! Gwen Poole is desperate not to disappear into comic book limbo, so she’s going to make an impact on the Marvel Universe! First up: Unmask Spider-Man! And heck, maybe see if she can get some real super-powers while she’s at it!
Looks like Gwen reads Green Arrow - Black Canary gets mentioned in Strikes Back #1.

Context is king.
X-23's most basic surface level characteristic that any idiot should grasp: Stoicism.
I don't demand that her every minor appearance be a nuance in-depth examination of her character, but is it to much to ask she be written in Archetype?! This is storytelling 101! If you want people to stay invested in a character, you need to, at the bare minimum, write them such a way that they can plausibly be believed to be the same character!
Yeah i think it got a little too wcky, butI think she nailed the whole meta aspect, and the idea of her being retconned out of existence is interesting (though sad and scary from her perspective, obviously)
Weirdly, Gwenpool doesn't appear in Marvel Comics #1000, but Jeff the land-shark DOES. He appears on an Elsa Bloodstone page.

Lets just say there is MORE truth to that more than a lot of folks realize. Because there are some folks at Disney (HIGHER UPS) that question her (and two more upcoming guest stars in the mini) popularity. They don'[t mind what money they bring in but why are people interested in them.
This is not me making it up but what I was told by Leah Williams.
Has anybody else read issue 2? I'm mostly enjoying this miniseries so far.
spoilers:end of spoilers
I like that Gwen is basically running around trying to find the most exciting scenarios for her covers. That little moment towards the end of issue 2 where she talks about disappointing people also suggests this series is going to go back to the issues she had with her parents.
One thing I'm less fond of is some of Gwen's characterisation- she feels... off. It especially feels weird that somebody who once said she found Deadpool comics a little too 'lol memes' is so memey here.
Preview of Strikes Back #3, with a smorgasbord of guest stars.
