Fuck you, fucking piece of shit.

 GWENPOOL 5. BY CAVAN SCOTT AND STEFANO NESI.

I couldn't leave the series unfinished, could I? Let's take a look at this shit. 

The cover looks like shit. That's it. There was no variant to review.

Gwenpool (Stacy) or whatever her stupid name was is telling that one guy with the red X on his face that everyone is dead... I don't recall Kate Bishop dying but I don't like remembering this series.

Whatever, Gwen (Stacy) and the red X dude start fighting until... Get this... 

CYBORG GWENPOOL SHOWS UP. If this were any other comic, I'd be laughing... No, just kidding, I'd still be pretty fucking confused.

And then Spider-Man shows up... Why isn't he a cyborg? 

And Kate Bishop also shows up. And Jeff. 

And then- and then, the X guy is unmasked to reveal... Cavan Scott. Woooooow.

How creative, Cavan, write yourself saying how much you hated writing the series... You didn't have to write it like this. Whatever, Cavan hurts Gwen's feefees and then everyone kicks Cavan's ass and the comic ends. Everyone lived and Gwenpool is now a cyborg. 

This is pretty underwhelming, not just the issue, but the entire series.

This didn't need to happen, but it did, and there's people out there that actually like this crap. 

Let's see what the other finales for these Gwenpool series had... Hmm...

Issue 25, from 2018 had Gwen trying to make the best of her last few pages, while also realizing that she had made an impact in the world, a very charming tale and kind of existential, yet beautifully written and illustrated.

Issue 5 of Gwenpool Strikes Back had Gwen retcon herself into a new life, while also telling us that even though the series wasn't the best, she hoped we still had fun... And for all that I call this series stupid and bad and other stuff, I still had a blast reading this finale, it was pretty emotional and still kind of funny...

What does this one have? "Oh yeah they're all alive and also the writer is a villain and Gwen is a Cyborg now" 

Did Cavan even consider something that the fans actually liked? Why do... All of THIS!? Why even kill Gwenpool in her own fucking series so that Spider-Man can take the spotlight? Does Spider-Man not have enough fucking series? Hell, we just had him meet his own writer in an Infinity Comic! There is no emotion here, just "Oh fuck, I have to squeeze a 7 issue storyline in 5 issues... Uh, just have the heroes come back to life and beat up the bad guy". 1/10.

Nothing against anyone involved in the comic, it's not them I'm against, it's the fucking piece of shit they made.


Footnotes: 

- Kate Bishop went on to do... Nothing, this comic came out today.

- Spider-Man is in space, and the Spideys on earth are Ben Reilly and [SPOILER]

- Gwen Stacy [CLONE] is alive... Uh-huh... Why? Isn't there already a living corpse Gwen Stacy roaming around?


I leave you this quote from my mom, taken from the very first time she saw Gwenpool...

"Is Marvel making anime girls now???" - my mum.

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...
