You've got an excellent point about Gwen's passivity. I think the author made a serious mistake with Natasha--she's the one doing all the detective work and proactive heroing that *Gwen* should be doing.

Feb 14, 2024Spider-Gwen: Smash hasn't yet found a way to really make itself feel unique from other titles starring the character, even the narrative feels stilted in a way that can only be described as treading water. Read Full Review

The good news is that the art seems to have rebounded after the last issue, and this series is once again a pleasure to look at.
The bad news is that all of the plot and character cards are on the table now. While I still admire the potential in the author's story, by this point, fully understanding it just makes all of the scripting faults clearer—not only in this issue, but in the previous ones.+ Like • Comment -

This is a jumbled mess. Tone, pacing, structure--these things have no meaning in this mini. The art is amazing and there are some ideas here for very interesting stories, but none of that is being executed. We have lots of dialogue that accomplishes nothing and action that's dependent on a conveniently absent spider-sense while this particular Gwen remains the most passive, incompetent costumed hero with maybe the least amount of agency I've ever seen in a protagonist. Meanwhile, the book obviously wants to tell a potentially interesting story about relationships but keeps... not doing it in favor of filler dialogue and Gwen being terrible at her job.
The art is so good, too. You hate to see it.+ Like • Comments (1)• Likes (1) -
