Her suit is a symbiote, which is made up of tiny spiders.
In the aftermath of "Spider-Geddon", Gwen is ready for her life to calm down - but when is life ever calm for a teenage super hero? Mary Jane's perfectionist vision for their band is driving Gwen crazy, while Gwen's father is pressuring her to return to school. Add that to the daily trials and responsibility that come with being a web-slinging super hero, and you've got a recipe for a whole new era of radioactive adventure!
Rated T
After everything that has been happening in Gwen's life, I really do think that she earned a bit of a break. This series has gone a long way in reminding us that she's human, and any human has a breaking point. It's nice to see Gwen come down for a bit and try to get a balance going in her life.

McGuire is carving out a refreshingly unique corner of the world for Gwen. The characters personality in action in Miyazawas art is perfectly in synch with the characters dialogue. McGuire and Miyazawa have a good connection with the character which will hopefully suit her quite well. The team is slated to continue on the title for the next couple of issues at least. Itll be interesting to see where they take the character. Read Full Review
This is a fine issue, but it doesn’t make me want to pull the book again. It’s drawn out exposition can make it feel like a step back in some ways, but Gwen’s world and supporting cast have always been what really made the book shine, so I understand that it was necessary. I just think it could have been better if there weren’t pages dedicated to Gwen finding a purse. Read Full Review
Well-crafted, refreshing, and emotionally resonant. But, a little too focused on an on-the-nose message, Spider-Gwen loses sight of the appeal and freedom of the Ghost-Spider moniker in the first real step out of Spider-Geddon. Read Full Review
Spider-Gwen Ghost Spider #5 picks up with a transitional issue focused on the unsung downsides of public heroics. Read Full Review
Giving up her secret identity makes it hard for Gwen to be Gwen instead of Spider-Woman. A new antagonist rises against her, and a chance encounter gets her thinking about heroing for hire. It's a formidable character study. The script is highlighted by some lines that have gut-punching insight. The art is smooth, appealing, and warm. Given the art team, it's not surprising that they make this feel like a spider-version of Ms. Marvel. That's 80-90% a good thing, but it does shortchange Earth-65 a little.
Good breather issue that reestablishes things after Spider-Geddon. It's nice to know that the writer can write Earth-65 and Spider-Gwen's status quo well, since a lot of that wasn't present in the series up until now.
Not the best but seeing Gwen struggling with the aftermath of the Spider-Geddon, school, being a superhero... Is kind of heartfelt. It makes them human. Although, I could have used a greater villain than John Jameson. And when did superhero started to reveal their identities.
I like Gwen and I think that this comic is pretty interesting.
Still confused on certain aspects of the character such as, she can control spiders?! Interesting. Art was okay but story kinda sucked. If she changed her name to Ghost-Spider, why was she calling herself spider-woman throughout the issue? Unfortunately this issue doesn't do much for me to get be to keep reading.
