These final thoughts always get me thinking about how to wrap up these reviews. With Ghost-Spider I find myself going back to boasting over McGuire and how see writes Gwen. This current arc is building the intrigue and making you crave more even after youve finished reading. Issue 8 really paints a broad picture of who Gwen is becoming. McGuire has set this so majestically that we will be talking about her time at the helm for years to come. Read Full Review

Whilst being light on the action, this month's book is by no means light on the heroics. The actions punctuate the college student angst that is written masterfully. I genuinely hope that the quality of this book stays up there. It's rare to see such strong writing in a character that isnt male, and honestly, its refreshing. The artwork makes it feel both coming of age and high action with a touch of melodrama and it works perfectly. Again, the only complaint I have with it is I have to wait until April for the continuation. It's just doing it for me still. Read Full Review

Ghost-Spider #8 was a shockingly intense issue, one that moved steadily forward with the main plot. All while providing insight into Gwen's reaction on what is happening on Earth 616 (the "main" universe). I, for one, am very much looking forward to seeing what the next issue brings with it. While this one does not end with a cliffhanger, it is more than enough to keep me on the edge of my seat in the meantime. Read Full Review

It will not take long before the heroine is pitted against the Storm siblings, and fans will be curious to see how this supernatural showdown will go down after this chapter's debut. Read Full Review

Ghost-Spider #8 takes a few steps forward on the Sue and Johnny plot, and it continues to deliver a compelling, finely-crafted portrayal of its star. But the ever-slow pace is slowed even further by a lengthy digression to chat about the "Outlawed" event. I think issues like this do enough -- just -- to hang onto existing Gwen fans, but I doubt they're going to bring in many new ones. Read Full Review

" You could have left him out of it, Gwen. You do love to make bad choice, don't you ? This changes nothing for me. It could change everything for you. Gwendolyne Stacy... You should learn when to leave well enough alone. "

Man I guess the Fantastic Four are boring no matter what dimension they’re in.

Gwen makes little forward progress investigating her world's Storm siblings, instead getting sidetracked with a spikey Outlawed argument with Peter Parker. Her character is great throughout, but the argument is a serious momentum drain on an already-slow arc. Pretty nice visuals, though!
