Edge of Venomverse #2

Writer: Christopher Hastings Artist: Irene Strychalsk Publisher: Marvel Comics Release Date: July 12, 2017

A PINK NIGHTMARE!
•  The wall-breaking wunderkind we call Gwenpool gets ahold of the VENOM SYMBIOTE and turns into a sword-slinging, web-swinging master of disaster!
•  But it won't all be fun and games when Gwenpool comes across something huge... something that will directly lead to the Venom event of 2017!

    An illuminating and hilarious romp with Gwenompool (she's still working on the name) reveals some handy Venomverse information and an adorable crush on Matt Murdock. This might be the high-water mark of the title thanks to Chris Hastings' self-aware commentary. He makes a great point about "alternate universes = no consequences" that I will bet a zillion dollars main series author Cullen Bunn completely lives down to. Irene Strychalski is pushing her art into an interesting Will Robson area that works perfectly for a silly story like this. It's a fun read but also a feather-light one, and my suspicion that the main event won't be nearly as enjoyable is overpowering.
