• A new villain has appeared on Earth-65...one with claws and an attitude.
• With Wolverine and Matt Murdock gunning for Harry Osborn, Spider-Gwen will need to step in and save him.
• However, the cost of this rescue might be her own soul!
Rated T
Despite still not getting to see the Earth-65 symbiote in action, Latour and Rodriguez utilize its presence to craft another masterful issue. Read Full Review
Overall, Spider-Gwen #21 is a set-up issue that builds the arc in the direction it needs to go, and it does its job while sprinkling enough drama to stay entertaining. Nothing groundbreaking to happen yet, but we have been watching this slow burn Daredevil-versus-Gwen collision course for a while now, and it should be fun watching it all come to a head.

For me this was very much a filler issue. Read Full Review
Better than the last but still too much Murdock, not enough Gwen. Read Full Review
Gwen's situation continues to deteriorate, but some of these story beats feel reused from last issue. The real meat of the issue is in George Stacy's subplot and immediate peril. Read Full Review
Spider-Gwen #21 has some solid character interactions between Harry and Gwen, but the issue is stunted by the plot's repetitiveness. Read Full Review
In a semi-circular rehash of her status quo, Gwen (and the reader!) finally grasps the plots arrayed against her. This issue actually marks an unwelcome anniversary: It's been a full year since the Spider-Women crossover ☠☠☠☠ up Gwen's powers. It's only now that we can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately for Gwen, that light is mighty Venom-shaped. I appreciate the way Jason Latour's script finally sets out some clear stakes and suggests some next steps. Robbi Rodriguez's art is looking mighty rough (maybe rushed?) this month.
