Those who, like me, have missed the past few issues of the comic will find a nice place to jump on. Seanan McGuire provides just the right amount of awkward banter to balance the tough situations Gwen keeps walking into. Worth a look. Read Full Review

Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider #8 was an interesting read, as it took some events that have been building up for the last few issues. It let that buildup explode into something larger, and hopefully, it'll be a longer-running plot. I'm looking forward to seeing how this plot is going to progress. And I promise that I'm only partially saying that because of the cliffhanger-esque ending here. The series could use an explosive plot, now that we've had time to recover from the last major event Gwen was in. Read Full Review

Final ThoughtSeems like the Ghost Spider part of her name was only to draw in new readers and really not change a thing about the character. Unless the Symbiote will have some changes coming up. Well the cliffhanger sure got me looking forward to next issue which I must say, might be the first time I have been looking for a Spider-Gwen issue. The artwork unfortunately needs to stay consist because some of the pages were terrible and not worth looking at! McGuire is doing fine on writing but he needs a new artist. Read Full Review

Dr. Elsa Brock is MIA as Gwen's symbiote-related headaches get worse. Everything's going slow, steady, and delightful up to the final scene, which slams an abrupt, unfinished-feeling curtain down on the issue. What would be a serious fault in a book I find less engaging is a forgivable foible here.

Fun writing but I find the pace is getting a little bit too wonky for me.
