I suppose. I just really don't like Gwen as a character to begin with and think that everything from Spectacular to the TASM duology and especially Spider-Gwen tricked the general public into believing she was ever interesting originally when she really wasn't, and even then I don't care for Gwen-65 all that much. So my bias against her may have something to do with it.
With that said, I stand by what I said. Make Mayday relevant again, dammit!
I love spec and TASM Gwen and they are nothing like 616 Gwen(and hence so good) and 1610 is a new character compared to both formers or the latter.
She had a good idea and re-reading her solo was fun but nowhere near Mayday's.This direction will bury her further down I'm afraid.
Read both and even though Mayday's was a long time back and I just read Gwen's a month or so ago(the first run IIRC, and only parts of the new one) Mayday is far better storytelling wise.
Peter stands out in both stories as well, as the bullied kid who went to far or the retired Superhero dad.
Man I'm never surprised at how many different takes on Peter can be so different yet shine all the same.He has like 3 zombie Earths setings and all are amazing.
Sure it has a bigger novelty factor, but novelty isn't something that keeps the character interesting afterwards, 'cause cool ideas are only worth a damn if the execution is worth it.
Back in the 90's we did have that anti-hero phase, it was novel, even though it didn't work that well lol.
I somehow managed to read Mayday's comic in an awkward point, with the whole mind trip with aunt May and Norman becoming "Goblin God", what an acid trip lol.
While I don't think Marvel Zombies Spidey is interesting (I find him less boring than the other characters, but yeah, not a compliment), Spidey has the nice perk of having pretty defined personality traits, and putting that personality in different situations can work pretty well.Peter stands out in both stories as well, as the bullied kid who went to far or the retired Superhero dad.

Of course, he's not the only one like this, but there are a lot of characters out there with vaguely defined personality traits, which can be why they change so much between different writers, while with Spidey, even when poorly written there is an attempt at using his usual traits.
