Seriously, folks, if you haven't added this title to your pull list at your local comic shop, you completely need to as soon as possible. Read Full Review

Robbi Rodriguez provides Latour the literary version of a high five with his accompanying modern and gorgeous artwork. Rodriguez's meticulous work with shade and contrast are incomparable, a rose by any other name would not smell as sweet in this case. This book would not be as exciting or stimulating without his imaginative take on Latour's story. Let's not forget Rico Renzi's use of color either, reminding us with a bang of pastels and brights that we aren't in Kansas anymore, or our 616 universe more appropriately.If I had one request, it would be for more spider-gwen because once a month just wont be enough!

Spider-Gwen continues to be the heroine that we deserve. Read Full Review

Usually a second issue like this would mean curtains for any other book, but most other books don't have the creative team of Spider-Gwen. There's a real humanity to the story that heightens the soap opera, and the artwork is just so singular and unique that you'd be hard-pressed not to miss it. This book should be a star-making turn for Latour, Rodriguez and Renzi, and if there's any justice in this world, Spider-Gwen will enjoy a long, fruitful career as Marvel's newest friendly neighborhood webslinger.

Although Spider-Gwen #2 is not exactly packed with action, a compelling story and freshly fleshed-out characters make this issue a must-read. Read Full Review

All in all Spider-Gwen #2 was a fun read. There were a lot of introductions of new characters and new setups that will have readers hooked onto the series and see how this will effect the story. This comic is a must read, even if you haven't read the first issue (which you should). Spider-Gwen is living up to all the hype. Read Full Review

Robbi Rodriguez does a really great job with the art on this issue. Coupled with the colors of Rico Renzi, who truly makes this book pop, his art is expressive and engaging. Rodriguez was largely unrecognized until this title, and frankly I feel like I've been missing out. He's imaginative and makes the book feel unique on his art alone. While it's been talked about to death, his design for Spider-Woman really informs the artistic direction on this series. It's high on style and has captivates you, establishing this world as a distinct being. Special shout out to Clayton Cowles, the letterer, who is a real highlight of this book. His work is very subtle, but it completes the package and makes the book feel whole. Read Full Review

Spider-Gwen #2 has a lot of great stuff going on, an awesome cameo and some sweet art. Read Full Review

Overall, in the words of Peter Porker, “pretty spectacular spider work!' Read Full Review

Spider-Gwen is starting to find its feet and voice with this installment, but with the way it also has to expose us to more of how this world/timeline works, there feels like there's so much you want to know that's not getting touched on just yet. Which is good, because there's so much to explore. The further we get away from the Spider-Verse, the more enjoyable this book will become" though I'm quite glad to have the Spider-Ham show up for this issue to mess with her mind a bit. Gwen's life is a typical mess that you find with most of those who wear the Spider mantle and there's definitely some fun little quirks to it owing to who she is. The dynamic overall is one that's hitting a lot of good notes as we get to understand how this world works and what it can offer. I'm definitely enjoying it, both for the story it wants to tell and the great artwork and panel layout that helps to make it engaging and intriguing, especially with some of the things we see in the backgrounds.

Gwen gets a little break from the action, and her dealings with Spider-Ham and her "civilian" life are in turns revealing and humorous. Solid non-action-y character development and top-notch artwork continue a hot streak from Team Latour/Rodriguez. Read Full Review

As strong as Latours script is, Rodriguez continues to steal the show. Razor-thin figure work and exaggerated angles choices make for sleek, dramatic panel compositions. Most sequences, specifically Gwens, move fluidly due to the lack of closure between panels. This makes for a looser, more intuitive visual narrative as Gwen moves from one scene to the next, adrift, and trying to figure out what to do. Conversely, this mode shifts to tight, well-paced sequences when Kingpin and Murdock are introduced. The closure between panels is as precisely choreographed as their charade, mirrored in Murdocks violence. These scenes are beautifully complemented by Renzis contrasting color palettes. The grim grays and beiges of nighttime scenes broken up by the effervescent pop of neon pinks, blues and yellows, bringing Gwens dizzying world to life with remarkable results. Read Full Review

This series has no trouble standing out amid the crowd of Spider-books. But it could stand to to offer readers a better sense of what struggles Gwen will face over the long haul. Read Full Review

Despite getting “hammed” up with some classic tropes and pointless drama early on, Spider-Gwen #2 manages to set the stage for a George Stacy arc that should keep most readers sticking around. Read Full Review

Latour is taking a risk. It's a delicate balance right now as Spider-Gwen is getting on her feet in her own title, and the addition of three established, heavyweight characters -- two of which have routinely had their own solo comics -- means that Gwen could be upstaged. If she can hold her own in the next few issues, so much the better. There's much to be excited about in "Spider-Gwen," as long as Gwen's characterization gets steadier over the rest of the first story arc. Read Full Review

Other than Gwen (and the hallucinatory pig) the only variation of a well-known character that has caught my eye is that of crime lawyer Matt Murdock who is going to have to be given a much larger role to keep my interest (especially if the end of Gwen's concussion means farewell to Spider-Ham). For fans. Read Full Review

This issue is just awkward fumbling as Marvel desperately throws popular elements at the page in the vein hope something generates fan interest. It leaves Spider-Gwen feeling like a comic that was published not because anyone wanted to make it, but because they felt they had to. Read Full Review

Another solid issue, my reviews on this are gonna keep getting short because there's only so many ways to say "art good" and "characters fun".

Nonetheless solid and I enjoy Matt as a bad guy and Frank as a detective

The addition of spider-ham (?!) to provide some break from the brooding girl in trouble makes this issue worlds better than #1 for me. Artwork is interesting, but still ugly looking characters (even the good guys). They of course do it on purpose and don't want to stylize them too much, just a little different from what I usually like.

Coloring is great though. Story picked up and this issue doesn't really explain the previous issue, but it takes it slower on a new reader like me which I liked.

Stronger showing than the original opening issue. This issue takes the time to provide a real menace for Gwen to face: her own insecurities and the hidden goons carrying out the Kingpin's wishes. The integration and threat present within the NYPD, in the form of Frank Castle, also feels much more malevolent than in any other Spidey book. Less time is spent on the vapid Mary Jane(s) [both the band and the singular character.]
The continued shining star of this series is of course Robbie's Rodriguez's art. While there are not as many city scapes or grand sweeping fight scenes, as presented in the first issue, there are still great details.
The internal musings of Gwen are given a fun physical embodiment of Spider-Ham. The blatant reference to a concussion or delusional state keeps the reader from being confused about what is personal and what is happening in the real world. These are the small details that could help this book stand on its own, and not just be another Peter Parker-down on HER luck knock off. more

I'm giving it a chance after issue 1 but as the art is awesome, I'm not digging the story. Maybe see how issue 3 goes but it's not getting any better for me. It's just regurgitated stories from Earth 616 Peter Parker so far.
