    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Dec 18, 2019

    After all the weird specifics of Gwen's life throughout the past several issues, it's nice to see McGuire and Miyazawa handling a more traditional spider-story. Gwen is looking good as the trap slowly snaps shut on her, and she struggles to find a way out. The series could launch in a number of different directions for her here. It'll be interesting to see what McGuire comes up in 2020.  Read Full Review

    While not taking place as predominantly in Earth-616 as I thought it would Ghost-Spider continues to tell these personal stories of Gwen Stacy and her own life. Ghost-Spider #5 livens things up in this current story arc and is certainly closer to that darker tone we are used to seeing from this character. Read Full Review

    Ghost-Spider #5 was another fascinating installment in Gwen's adventure. There's something so satisfying about seeing the consequences of Gwen's time spent on two different Earths. Not to mention that this is a plot that has been building for quite some time. Read Full Review

    I thought this issue was interesting enough as it was pretty much a set-up for events to come. We got some nice action with some decent dialogue that kept the reader in the loop. the pacing was good and the art fine. I would read the next issue to find out what happens next. Read Full Review

    Ghost Spider #5 moves the story from point A to point B with some rather forgettable character beats, but succeeds when playing with recognizable Spider tropes. Read Full Review

    These should be fun characters, but they're written in a way that tries to emulate those that have come before, and it lands with a thud. Read Full Review
