You may not think you like love stories, but you'll like this one. This is love and affection for a time and a place, places and characters, that we have grown up with. Gage has shown us that, sometimes, you can go home again. Read Full Review

Gwen Stacy #1 is a promising start for this limited series and has a lot of heart in it. There's a lot for long time comic readers to enjoy and references to find. But it also serves as a fun gateway for anyone who wanted to learn more about the character and hasn't read many comics in the past. Read Full Review

I was as ready as anyone to ponder the easy cash grab of a non-super powered Gwen Stacy solo series, but it quickly won me over. There's no cynicism here; it's all sincerity. Read Full Review

I enjoyed this issue for its ability to weave in a few familiar elements while building up a supporting cast that'll take Gwen on her own adventure fighting crime. It's nice to see a strong female character treated with respect and I imagine many will be inspired by her adventures. Read Full Review

Christos Gage kicks off his Gwen Stacy run with an issue that shows how great Gwen is and then throws her headfirst into a bit of mystery and trouble. The art and story combine to give it a fast and fresh feel and while I can't say it's a must-read, it's a fun one thatI can recommend to those sick of the same old same old cluttering up the shelves these days.

I have to admit a certain apprehension about Gwen Stacy. But after reading it, I now admit myself pleasantly surprised thanks to the creative team’s charm, attention to canon detailing, and period artwork. By treating Gwen like an actual three-dimensional character and not a doomed romantic foil, Christos Gage, Todd Nauck, and Rachelle Rosenberg deliver both a fun, engaging tribute to the icon.

Gwen Stacy #1 is a fun romp through the life of an average Highschool Girl and will hopefully be the start of an engaging series! Read Full Review

Gwen Stacy #1 is much more than readers will be expecting. The cynics will call this another cash grab – “Who asked for this?!” – but readers will be delighted to find proof that Gwen Stacy is a great character even without Peter Parker. The visuals nail the tone on every page, creating a feeling that can turn on a dime when it needs to. You won’t regret giving this one a read. Read Full Review

"Gwen Stacy" #1 is a fun debut, but lacks the kind of polish that would elevate this to greater heights. Read Full Review

Gwen Stacy #1 tries to appeal to both new fans of the characters Ghost-Spider iteration as well as long-time readers who know the early Stan Lee and Steve Ditko comics inside and out. Its an inherently tough line to straddle, but the book does an admirable job. Read Full Review

I guess the writing was on the wall with this title. Mary-Jane gets the “Amazing” title, whilst poor Gwen, arguably the love of Peter's life, get no adjective. She is Gwen, just Gwen. Along with the various Spider-Man books, Marvel have seen fit to give us titles starring his loves. We have Black Cat, Mary-Jane and Gwen. I for one cannot wait for the new Debra Whitman book that must surely be waiting in the wings. Read Full Review

Gwen Stacy #1 doesn't electrify quite as much as her interdimensional counterpart, but let's hope her and her father's underworld investigation gives Gwen a larger voice for issues to come. Read Full Review

Yeah, I liked this. There's some continuity... weirdness. Nothing outright wrong as far as I can tell, but they are playing around with it a little bit. The way these types of series typically do. Additive, even if it throws some backstory into question. I like Christos Gage as a writer, so I'm engaged by the story even if I know how it all plays out. I don't know, it's fun to see a new perspective on that era of Spider-Man. The back ups were pointless, and I'm not sure why they exist besides filling out the page count. They were harmless though.

I like Christos Gage as a writer, but I’m lukewarm on this as a concept.
