When all is said and done Gwenom vs Carnage #1 delivers a great start for its story. The final pages deliver a twist I never saw coming, and I cannot wait to see where the story goes from here. Read Full Review
Gwenom vs. Carnage is yet another example of how the tie-in books are where the best stories are in this event. The creative team is firing on all cylinders here with a fast-paced action book with a great voice for its main character. Read Full Review
You can always tell when a creative team gels and fits perfectly together, this is one of those teams! An uncontested championship team of solid writing, art, and lettering. Even after Knull is defeated and things return to normal, Marvel should keep this team together on everything Ghost-Spider. Read Full Review
Overall, Gwenom vs. Carnage was quite enjoyable. From the story and tone, and tempo. The art is on point. This could well be a turning point for the Spider-Gwen character. Read Full Review
King in Black: Gwenon vs. Carnage spares no punches with its debut issue this week. Read Full Review
Fans of Ghost-Spider who were disappointed with the abrupt ending of the series will lap this up. For readers coming solely from the King in Black event it answers the question of what Gwen is up to, as well as being more symbiote goodness. The twist ending promises plenty of excitement in the next issue. With King in Black it feels like Marvel are getting the tie-in issues just right. Read Full Review

This was a lot of fun. I liked the previous series, when it wasn't overstuffed. And this issue is definitely not overstuffed.
Hm. It's good to see McGuire writing Gwen again, but I'm thoroughly unconvinced by that cliffhanger. I can't help but think I would have liked it better if it had been built up to instead of coming rather out of nowhere in a tie-in after the series is already cancelled. Still, maybe this will grow on me as the series goes on.
