In ihrer Realität ist die junge Gwen Stacy die problembeladene Spider- Woman. Ihr Vater sitzt hinter Gittern, und auf ihre Kräfte ist kein Verlass. Deshalb muss sie mit Matt Murdock zusammenarbeiten, dem Kingpin des Verbrechens. Zudem trifft sie Spider-Woman Jessica Drew und Wolverine Laura Kinney.

This collected volume is a bit of a mess in terms of narrative arc. It starts off setting up the potential for conflict between the now powerless Gwen and Kingpin Matt Murdock. But then the remaining issues are just a series of one-offs that don't follow through on the initial set-up. Some of the stories are pretty silly, if fun and the only one I really enjoyed was one in which Gwen and female Wolverine switch bodies. ( )

In the last comic, Gwen's powers were stripped from her by Cindy-65 and agent Jesse Drew of SHIELD gave her some isotopes that will give her her powers, but she only has so many. Frank Castle has figured out who she is and Gwen's father is arrested for aiding and abetting Spider-Gwen. Pushed into a corner, Gwen takes the offer from the Kingpin of Crime, Matt Murdoch to defend her father and get him out of this mess--for a price.

At Thanksgiving time, Aunt Mae lets Gwen know that she knows she is Spider-Gwen and that she supports her. Gwen spends the holiday with Spiderwoman and her husband and child. Later at Christmas, she encounters ninja fighters on the rooftop and must use one of her isotopes. Who sent them and why?

This book also includes two dossiers on Aunt Mae and S.I.L.K., the Spider-Gwen Annual #1 which takes place right when she has gotten her powers and decides to use them in the wrestling ring fighting She-Hulk, a Captain America with Sam, The Watcher, a week in the life of Gwen, and an all-new Wolverine Annual #1. While it seems jammed packed, the storyline is a little skimpy, but then it only includes issues #14 and #15. I found the art lacking a bit in some of #14 especially with the drawing of Spiderwoman. But overall the art was good. I can only half-heartedly recommend this book. It could have been better. Hopefully, the next book will be an improvement. ( )
