Story by Robbie Thompson and a TBA artist!
Rated T+
THE UNBELIEVABLE GWENPOOL #21 is chock full of the fun and weird violence we've come to expect from GWENPOOL. Gurihiru bring bright colors and anime influence to the book, while Christopher Hasting writes Gwenpool a new mission and a very new power. Read Full Review
Christopher Hastings takes Gwenpool to the next level, wielding her third wall breaking as a powerful narrative tool. If you've been puzzled as to what this series is, or how it's made it to 21 issues, now's the time to jump on. Read Full Review
All in all, this issue is filler. It sets us up for a potential showdown between Gwen and Doom, but really " do any of us think she stands a chance? Read Full Review
Gwenpool begins enacting plans to weaponize her new medium-awareness powers and become an Avenger. Ambitious! Horrifically murderous! Bound to backfire! And pretty dang entertaining to boot. Irene Strychalski delivers some painstaking art to back up a fairly straightforward script. This arc is launching with plenty of potential but developments so far haven't hit "epic."
Such low rating so far? I kinda thought this had a good amount of fun. Sure, the between panels resolution with the snake master was annoying, the charcter reversion of Trapster was self serving, the chronology placement of Iron Doom was frustrating as usual, and the exploration of Gwen's new reality warping power is way too casual. But otherwise, 2 fun adventures and 2 interesting subplots.
Gwen Poole puts her new found powers to work, but it could easily be something that is a one trick pony, so we'll see where Hastings takes it in the next issue.
