4.0

Christos Gage pens a very classic Marvel tale that's comicbooky in the way a lot of MARVEL books aren't anymore.
This very oversized issue, essentially a volume, gives Gwen Stacy a chance to shine and evolve while keeping her firmly in the mythos. Fun volume.

5.0

This is an absolutely brilliant teenage detective story, with consistently gorgeous art. I would especially recommend this to anyone who enjoys Marvel Comics, more on the side of their grounded, character-driven narratives, but it is essential reading for Gwen Stacy/Spider-Man fans in particular.
