When this series was announced I didnt think I would like it so I passed on it. Gwen was kind of a basic character for me. She had run her course and died off. But after reading The Amazing Mary Jane I decided to give this a shot. Read the first two issues and really enjoyed it. The Crime Master story in early Amazing Spiderman was one of my favorites. I hate the fact that the Crime Master was such a throw away villain. But it is great that he is back for this story. And I love how they reference things from other comics. Like the news story about Reed Richards going to speak at his Alma Mater. I remember that story when they fought Dragon Man. Also how they talked about Uncle Ben's killer being found guilty.
This is a great book. Its a shame that it only 5 issues.
This Post Contains No Artificial Intelligence. It Contains No Human Intelligence Either.
Creeping? I don't interpret it that way. His original reaction, on the other had, was pretty much that of an old manga perv (just imagine him nose-bleeding).

Huh, those braids look really good on Gwen.
I was curious about the purpose of the Original Gwen comic book. We already saw the creepy Osborn meeting ( reminding one of Sins Past). I wonder if her meeting Fisk is a Kindred clue? As far as I know, Gwen never did anything rotten enough to deserve going to Hell, but maybe the purpose of the miniseries is to establish she actually did? It is also interesting that Marvel brings back the Wedding Issue as a reprint. Why now? Where am I going with this? Maybe, just maybe Gwen is Kindred.

Remember, it was established that Kindred knows Fisk. I was not aware that Gwen knew Fisk, prior to 2020.
