Breaking in From The 4th Wall! Gwenpool Appreciation

[jackolover]

Am I the only one who recognizes that this whole "real person in the comic world" concept has been done before in fiction many times? There's Comix Zone for the Sega Genesis, Saban's short-lived Beetleborgs series from the 90s, and also Viewtiful Joe (which is for movies but still the same thing).

To me, this is just Marvel saying "Oh, no, this isn't Gwen Stacy at all, even though she's clearly part of our recent campaign to shove Gwen Stacy into everything. Ain't it clever?"

I've never heard of Beetleborgs or Viewtiful Joe, so I still wouldn't mind Marvel doing it this time around.

Big Bad Beetleborgs was a saturday morning show on Foxkids in the 90's and viewtiful joe was a game published by capcom

Comix Zone for the Sega Genesis

I

LOVE

COMIX ZONE.

Played it so many times. I love that the whole game plays in like 45 minutes - such an amazing de-stressor.

I'd call it my favorite Sega game of all time if it weren't for the existence of Kid Chameleon.

*cough* *snort* uh, I mean -

Gwenpool! Yeah!

She seems fun.

-Pav, who is cool with goofiness...

I played Comix Zone (fun, creative, and tough as hell!)
Viewtiful Joe I love as well playing all of his games and having Viewtiful Joe one and two soundtracks. (Henshin A go-go baby!)

Sad both series stopped (Viewtiful Joe 2 was such a fun game plus promised at the end that "one more big threat was left.")

Gwen-Pool's art in the special was wonderful and it was among the better tales (the Hawkeye/Deadpool and the Gwen-Pool tales was the most enjoyable). I also collect all the Gwen Variants covers for fun thus I have her cover as well and I pull Howard the Duck and her tale there was enjoyable (preferred the art on the Christmas special version).

Mostly likely will get her issue one and decide if I will follow or not from that. A fan who thinks she dreaming everything up can be interesting, funny, frightening, and go in any direction.

hopefully this book doesn't trip over it's own feet like spider-gwen did

it's getting close...whose ready?

[mysterio1989]

Haven't seen a bigger waste of a new character since Hit Monkey. Just kill her off or cancel the title.

seems like this topic got off track fast

[sifighter]

You know I still don't get why they made this character in the first place, this weird combo of Spidergwen and Deadpool, however I like the art for the previews I've seen. Maybe I'll code trade the first issue but other then that I really don't see me reading a lot of her unless she meets up with Deadpool.

[Chrysalis_Changling]

probably to have a character who can reference weird moments in comics and using her outside knowledge of marvel comics to tackle her enemies

[rellum]

i cant see this lasting past 6 issues tbh. just because people like cosplaying as the character doesn't mean actual fleshed out comics about her will get near the same response. for those interested in this, i hope i'm wrong, but i dont see that as a real possibility.

Man they are milking this Deadpool niche to the ground, Marvel thinks a comicbook protagonist version of South Park and the Simspsons is a good media. Why don't they do this sorta meta thing for a character who's actually a slapstick character like Howard the Duck
