In The Mind of Spider-Plush

PART 4. GWENPOOL. CAVAN SCOTT. STEFANO NESI. I'm aware of the fact that I said I wasn't gonna look at the original cover, but this one's interesting because it shows us something that happens in the book... Gwen Stacy holding a dead Spider-Man. I do not like how Chad Hardin draws eye lenses for Spider-Man OR Gwenpool. My point from the last fucking review still stands, how the fuck am I supposed to be shocked by this if you show me what happens on the fucking cover? At least the JMS Spidey covers kept things from us, sure, they were bland but they didn't tell you what to expect. Let's remember the Amazing Spider-Man 121 cover, it showed us a bunch of faces telling us that someone was gonna die but didn't explicitly tell us who. I'm not saying you can't show important events in your cover but please don't show events that are TOO important, sure, you can tell us what to expect, but maybe not for character deaths. If everyone fucking dies, what's t...

This is part 3 of Gwenpool. By Cavan Scott and Stefano Nesi. This is the cover by Karen S. Darboe. Look at Gwen Stacy, she looks absolutely majestic, wow, makes me wish women were real. Oh, and there's Gwen (Poole) acting like she got lost or something. I really want this cover as a poster and I would love to have it framed so I can put it up on the wall and falsely claim I painted it, visitors will be so shocked! Last time, A bunch of shit happened, but Gwen killed Gwen, and this is the aftermath. The comic begins with Gwenpool's funeral, but I am noticing a lack of loved ones or even characters that were her FRIENDS? You know, the ones from the other series that were cool and good? Where's Batroc, Mega Tony and the others? Where's Julie Power? WHERE. THE. FUCK. IS. TEDDY? Did none of them get the memo? Why have the funeral happen RIGHT AFTER SHE DIED? Most funerals wait until every friend and relative knows and then they happen 2 days later or something. Peter is mopi...

When you hear about the death of your favorite characters, your stomach sinks a little bit, it's like hearing about the loss of a loved one, but much, much worse. This series continues, the first issue was less than stellar, but I did say there was room for improvement... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That's all I've got, this is Gwenpool '25 #2 by Cavan Scott and Stefano Nesi. BUT LET'S ESTABLISH A NEW RULE: - I have to be brutally honest, the covers for this series all suck, so we're reviewing variants. This is the infinitely better variant cover . This one was drawn by Lesley Li, and it looks great, actually. It depicts Gwen (Stacy) in a cool pose about to murder you. Main cover shows a spoiler, so... "Rated T+", I don't see anyone over the age of 23 picking this up.  I just felt a sharp pain in my chest from picking this up, looks like this post is about to turn out to become the tragic death of the original Spider-Plush... ...

This is the uncensored version. For the censored cut without all the swearing and the mentions of sex, click here. There are only 4 certainties in life: Death, taxes, Burger King messing up my damn order and having a Spider-Man review site look at Sins Past. You've seen everyone's reviews, you've seen everyone making fun of it (including Marvel themselves) and you even lived long enough to see it get retconned (Thanks, Nick Spencer). The story has it that in 2004, J. Michael Straczynski wanted to write a story about Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker's secret children that eventually tried to kill Peter... Odd, but okay. This is where Marvel's then editor-in-chief Joe Quesada comes in... So, Joe tells JMS that making Spider-Man have children would make the character seem like an old hag, and that would turn off new readers... Joe, I love you as much as I love my own son, but that is total bullshit, and you know it. You may be wondering, what happened last time? Well, Ezeki...

Hey kids! Time for the bedtime story, today we're reading about our favorite character, Spider-Man Well, let's have a look at this little story. Just let me tuck you in. Okay, ready? Well, let's begin. Our first character is Spider-Man, aka Peter Parker, he is a nice young boy with the powers of a spider. Spidey has a wife by the name of Mary Jane, she is a pretty girl that enjoys acting in plays. May is Spider-Man's aunt, she likes taking care of Spidey. The Green Goblin is an evil meanie that constantly annoys Spidey with his evil plots to take over the world. Gwen Stacy is a former friend of Spider-Man who unfortunately... Uh... How do I put this... Well, she moved to a different country and cannot see Spider-Man anymore :( Gabriel and Sarah are brother and sister, pretty much inseparable, and they want to talk to Spidey. During breakfast at Aunt May's house, Peter is really sad because he can't see his friend Gwen anymore, so, with a bit of empathy, Gabriel ...

Originally reviewed on Wix back on January 29th, 2023. Gwendolyn Stacy was a character from the Amazing Spider-Man comic series, she first appeared in issue... I don't remember, but it was a Ditko issue. She was gorgeous, she was charming, she was perfect in every way. For a while, she was Spider-Man's girlfriend. Oh, and I suppose Mary Jane was there too. Spider-Man's biggest enemy of all time is the Green Goblin, aka Norman Osborn, a scientist CEO dude that had a little lab accident and now has another personality that thinks about nothing but mischief. Little problems that were presented in the series prior to this issue: Green Goblin knows Spider-Man's secret identity and everyone he loves, meaning that he can attack anyone at any point to hurt Spider-Man's feelings. Gwen Stacy does not like Spider-Man, I don't think she ever did, and she really started to HATE him because she believed that it was Spider-Man who murdered her father, George Stacy. The behind-...

NOTE: This post was written by Eddie, don't know why it says Polly. Here is the real review for this god forsaken comic. Thanks, Cavan Scott and Stefano Nesi. Yadda yadda yadda, I already looked at the cover. It looks like this comic is actually exactly what I was expecting, but it was actually... Good? No, not really, its still crap, but passable crap. Gwen Stacy is back, all thanks to Weapon X, and she now goes by the name of X-31 or Gwenpool or something like that*. MEANWHILE, Kate Bishop, Spider-Man and Gwenpool (the white one) from Marvel Comics are all entering Weapon X until Fig Fang Foom shows up, but luckily, Gwenpool uses her amazing powers of leaving the panels to show up in another page as a giant to kick Fig Fang Foom's green ass... Well, I've never seen his ass, for all I know it could be red, or blue, or purple. All of a sudden, someone starts KILLING the guards, and it is none other than Gwenpool (the purple one, I'm talking about the colors of their cos...

The review NO ONE was asking for, the comic that EVERYONE loves. A little background first...  The early 2000's were big years for Spider-Man, he had a new movie coming out, the Amazing Spider-Man series was doing well with Sins Past... Ok, maybe it wasn't doing well, but JMS was still a good writer for the series. Ultimate Spider-Man was doing pretty well, and Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale did something incredible, a mini-series that takes us back to when Gwendolyn Stacy was still alive, and when Mary Jane first showed up. Jeph Loeb is a pretty controversial figure in Marvel, but this is generally considered to be one of his best works. Tim Sale, beloved artist that did some incredible art on stories like Batman: The Long Halloween, Superman: For All Seasons, Hulk: Gray, Daredevil: Yellow, and of course, this story. He unfortunately passed away in 2022. Tim, wherever you are, we all love you and your amazing work. A bit of a mandela effect, though it could be just me misremembering s...

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...
