    Gwen is on the run from the police with Chameleon! While the police our searching the skies for a swinging Spider-Hero, Gwen is underground in the sewers. Chameleon is in pretty bad shape with his powers malfunctioning and Gwen is trying to be of help. While she's trying to get to the bottom of the problem of Chameleon's powers, they're attacked by a familiar Spidey foe. With the assist of Chameleon's powers, they're able to get away. Little do they know, they're being tracked. The people that hired Chameleon to hunt down Gwen now have their coordinates. So that means Gwen is on the run from not only the good guys, but the bad guys too. Read Full Review

    I liked this one a little more than the previous ones. Gwen went from being a mopey rebellious teen to actually trying to do the right thing, regardless of legality. I appreciated the characterization more and everything about the way it played out worked for me. Art was solid, writing was good. Hopefully it continues this trajectory going forward.

    Up until now I have really enjoyed this run but this felt somewhat flat. The dialogue felt really off and the zippy one liners were almost absent. The art as usual was great which means the script Paola was working with was as tight as usual.
    Sorry I'm a big fan of Stephanie and adore her work on the awesome Grim which leaves me wondering about the dialogue?????
