Gwenpool (2025) #1 Pre-Review

Writer:

It won't be out until May, but I already want to tear it apart, so I will do what I did when that Spider-Man cartoon show came out and review it without reading it. 

It seems like the guys at Marvel read my recent review of ASM 26 and thought that I needed to suffer just a little bit more. 

Gwen Stacy is back from the dead and she's now a crazy psycho that goes by the name of... Gwenpool.

I'm gonna be brutally honest when I say that I have a little bit of hope for this series, I mean, it's being written by the same guy that brought us Zombiotes... Here's the thing, Zeb Wells is also a great writer, but he brought us over 50 issues of garbage. I don't think it's the writer's fault; I think it's the editorial team's fault. What is going on at Marvel HQ that only exclusively affects Spider-Office* books? Only the best detectives can figure that out.

I woke up one morning to the news of a new Gwenpool title, I was really giddy because I was young and naive at the time last month. At school, I decided to open Twitter and looked at the current news, I weeped in the middle of the class.

So, let's NOT have a look at what the Spider-Office did to Gwenpool. The worst thing to happen to her since that other fucking series. This is Gwenpool #1 by Cavan Scott and Stefano Nesi. 

This is the cover, by Chad Hardin. The artwork is nice, it's well drawn, and the scene depicted is kinda badass, what ruins it is that there is a walking corpse in a purple costume front and center. Look, they placed her claw things near her middle finger, she's flipping us off with a big sharp metal claw, this is horrible already.

Believe it or not, the comic is not out yet in Mexico (or anywhere, for that matter). I don't even know if it WILL come out in Mexico, so the best I can do for this is review the premise.

Gwendolyne Maxine Stacy was a sweet young girl that eventually died. What's this? She was brought back... And she's now going around as Deadpool killing a bunch of people! SOMEBODY MUST STOP HER! But first, we need to hear what Spider-Man thinks about this. He's currently trying to process this information, but it's gonna be hard to swallow. Luckily, Gwendolyn Poole (Not related to famous cricket player Andrew Poole) is there for emotional support and so they can find out who the fuck revived Gwen Stacy. It sounds... Actually, kinda fun on paper, but the execution is all that matters here, and since this is a book made by the spider-office, we're fucked. 

This isn't gonna be the Spider-Man from the comics that I know, this will be the Spider-Man from the Moxy Früvous song. This isn't gonna be the Gwenpool that all the Gwenrotters** know and appreciate for some unknown reason, this is probably the Gwenpool from that one comic I would like to forget.

Y'know, it's probably not gonna be the worst comic book of all time, but I'm still giving it 1/10 because I feel just as insulted and offended as the time I read ASM 26***...

Oh, I saw the solicits for issues 2 and 3, I'll talk about them later.

*Marvel has different offices for their titles, Marvel Heroes office (Avengers, Iron Man, other stuff), X-Office (What do you think?), MondoMarvel (Pretty sure it's Hulk and Ultimate Universe titles... Though, I've heard they moved the hulk offices to the Spidey office and moved the Ultimate titles to their own separate offices.), and Spider-Office (Venom, Spider-Man, apparently Gwenpool)

**Twitter community with Gwenpool fans.

***The worst book of all time, look for the review on this site.

Reviewing things I haven't seen!

Writer:
That new Spider-Man TV show just came out, but I don't have Disney+, everyone's talking about it and I don't want to be an outcast, so I'm gonna do the ballsiest thing ever, I'm gonna lose my credibility as a reviewer! I bet the other review sites are gonna be so proud of me... Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, written by Jeff Trammel and directed by Mel Zwyer, a show inspired by the comic book titled "Spider-Man", and also a little bit inspired by the MCU films featuring "Spider-Man", it was announced somewhere around 2022, and the first 2 episodes were released yesterday. Man, I remember when we thought the show was NEVER coming out.  First of all, the intro features a rap song that samples the 1967 Spider-Man theme song. The track is titled "Neighbor Like Me"by the Match Club (featuring Relaye and Melo Makes Music... Okay, Melo, now I know that you make music and not sandwiches). Let's talk about this theme song. First off, ...

What If: Intro to MC2 and RLD

Writer:
It's 2010. You stand before a building that seems to tower over you, with a bright banner sprawling across the front, blue bubbly letters on an orange and sunny background. "Summer of Reading!" You aren't the biggest fan of reading, but luckily over the seven years of your life, your dad has been filling your head with tales, collectibles and (although I couldn't touch them yet with my unpredictable and oily wild child hands), comics of flashy superheroes doing their best to be good people, and inspire others to find the strength to keep on. You wonder if the library has any comic books. Luckily, Marvel did this thing around 2006 where several smaller story arcs got hardcover reprints for library circulation. I'll never forget the taste of those hardcover corners... What? Sorry, got distracted... Where was I? Ah, right, "Marvel Age". These were usually modern retellings (or just a coat of new paint) of a couple of non-strictly related comics put in ...

The Lowest Point In Modern Spider-Man Comics.

Writer:
One thing I didn't want to admit is that I am not a fan of how the recent Amazing Spider-Man comics have been going lately, it seems that the series is not in good hands and that nothing is going to get better... So, why exactly did I not want to admit this? Well, because I try to be optimistic when it comes to Marvel comics, I really have hope that Amazing Spider-Man is gonna be good again, I have hope that the comics about my favorite character will have good storytelling, so what the fuck is going on? It all started in 2006, with a little comic called Civil War, Spidey had his identity revealed and it led to a lot of chaos in his stories, Aunt May was dying again (this time because of a bullet wound), and no hospital will do anything because apparently Spidey is a criminal or something like that. This led to One More Day, where Peter just cannot let go of Aunt May and in order to save her life, he sells his marriage to Mephisto. This comic was shitty, not the worst, but it was a...
