Gwenpool Strikes Back
Marvel · 2019–2020 · 5 issues
About the series
Leah Williams and David Baldeón bring back Marvel's fourth-wall-breaking mercenary for a chaotic five-issue miniseries in 2019–2020. Gwen Poole, adrift after her previous series, decides she needs a new gimmick to stay relevant—and her solution is to try and get herself killed off in the most spectacular way possible. This self-aware romp gleefully skewers comic book tropes and fan expectations, with Gwen manipulating the narrative (and her creators) to secure her place in Marvel history. It's a sharp, funny coda to the character's original run, celebrating her unique voice while poking fun at the very idea of a "strikes back" sequel.
