Spider-Gwen, Volume 1: Greater Power by

4.0

This was great! I really enjoyed how this had a more cohesive and complete plot line running through thus, whereas vol. 0 was an introduction to Spider-Gwen. There were two issues in this that I didn't feel were completely necessary to the story. I can see where they were incredibly important for character depth, but they did feel a bit stuffed in.

Slight spoilers about the main cameo of this volume, so if you don't want to know who it was, just know that I felt it wasn't explained very well.

I really enjoyed that Earth-65's Captain America is actually Sam(antha) Wilson. And I'm never going to be the one to complain about "too many female superheroes" because that's not a thing that exists. However, I don't think she was introduced well. To the extent of my knowledge (and wikia's knowledge, this is our first intro to this Cap. I was very confused as to her origin story and why and how Peggy Carter is still alive and kicking. There were max two pages explaining an entire origin story that completely threw me for the rest of the volume. I did enjoy many of the other cameos that we get in this (i.e. Matt and Jess, who is from Earth-616 (don't quote me on that number))

Overall, this was super fun, and I really enjoyed the villain in this and their arc throughout the volume. I'm excited that this is a series that is continuing, and I'm pumped to pick up the next volume.
