Spider-Gwen

In this 2016–2019 Panini Comics series, the alternate-reality Gwen Stacy—bitten by a radioactive spider instead of Peter Parker—balances her life as a drummer in a punk band with her secret identity as Spider-Woman. The core creative team, including writer Jason Latour and artist Robbi Rodriguez, defined her distinctive costume and world, making her a breakout character in the wider Spider-Verse. Spanning 19 issues, the series explores Gwen’s struggles with responsibility, friendship, and her father’s role as a police captain hunting her. It matters for cementing a fan-favorite alternate Spider-hero in her own ongoing story.
