Gwenpool

Chris Hastings and Danilo Beyruth launched this 2016 Marvel series, which reimagines a superfan from the real world transported into the Marvel Universe. The single issue blends meta-humor with superhero action, as the title character—a young woman who believes she’s in a comic book—uses her knowledge of genre tropes to survive. It’s a compact, inventive debut that set the tone for Gwenpool’s later adventures.
