Book Review: Spider-Gwen, Volume 3 Long Distance

Spider-Gwen, Vol. 3: Long-Distance by Jason Latour

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


This is...bad. After Gwen selling out to Kingpin Matt Murdoch in the last book, we get two issues of Spider-Gwen, we get two issues where nothing happens. We have a Thanksgiving Issue and a Christmas Issue. Spider-woman from the 616 Universe guest stars in the Thanksgiving Issue, but her appearance is pointless. The art on the Thanksgiving Issue is just so cartoonish and silly.

Then we get the Spider-Gwen Annual which is pretty much incoherent. The best idea in there is that in Gwen's Universe, Steve Rogers is a Comic book artist that drew Captain America, but beyond that, the Annual's just a confusing nearly unreadable mess.

Then we get an All-New Wolverine Annual that a crossover with Spider-Gwen. It's the best thing in the book even though its dull, tedious, and unoriginal body swapping story that is out of touch with the continuity of the guest character. That it's the best thing in the book says volumes about how bad the rest of it is.

This book was a waste of time. I'll read the crossover with Miles Morales, but I'm on the verge of quitting my read through this.
