Anybody read Smash #2? It's been nice getting to know the Mary Janes a bit more but man do they come off as assholes in this story. I know they're teenagers who never asked for this but jeez, if they're supposed to be Gwen's best friends in the world it doesn't surprise me she wants to gtfo of the 65.
It does seem to be setting up the exile(again) that we already know will happen due to the previews of her next series. I wonder if they thought this story up with that in mind from the get-go or if they scrambled these plot points in after the fact. Maybe the random name change had something to do with it, going from ''ON TOUR'' to ''SMASH''
What was the reason Gwen had to serve a year in prison? I forgot.
Yeah, it's because she outed herself. It got her off from the charge of killing Peter Parker since she was able to explain what really happened, but she was jailed for the lesser charge of being a vigilante.
Personally I think they should've stuck with On Tour. That is what the story is about, and it wouldn't have spoiled issue 1's ending, namely that a Hulk is involved. Probably changed it for exactly that reason, to promote the fact Hulk is involved.

It is kind of sad to see her get stuck in 616 after getting the closest thing she's gotten to a boyfriend in her entire comic history in Shadow Clones (not that they've mentioned him at all here).
Pretty much, sadly. As Jennifer Walters, her lawyer, pointed out, it wasn't Gwen's guilt or innocence that jury was deciding, but whether or not they wanted "someone like her" roaming free on (technically swinging above) their streets.
The spider is always on the hunt.
