The Original Gwen Stacy Appreciation 2020

They probably think she'll be better recognized in it, imagine if they showed her like this:

They actually did that for the Deadpool variant.



Gwen's death outfit is her most recognizable look so naturally most variant covers would use it. At least she seems to be wearing other outfits in the actual story.

They actually did that for the Deadpool variant.

Good catch, too bad they only copied the outfit, I much prefer JR's rendition.

I am okay that someone has remembered the Savage Land series. But Jameson creeping on a photo of Gwen is A) out of character for JJJ, b) generally distasteful

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.

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).

...And now the Kingpin. Is it too much to expect them to emphasize how out of her depth Gwen is here? Even moreso then before?

That is a good bikini shot.

Huh, those braids look really good on Gwen.

It's definitely a unique take on Gwen's look.

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.

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