Today it's issue 7 in which Gwen meets her organization's client.Previous >>153313978
Next time, Gwen has a plan.
>>153327904Long before there was Jeff, there was Gwen-Pig as the premiere Gwen pet.Also once again we have her reaping what she sew back in her #1>>153327939Gwen's casual clothes are very nice>>153327955Damn racist aliens get what they deserveAlso like how Gwen notes given she's never heard of these aliens, they exist primarily for her comic to screw with>>153327992Funny how Batroc continues to entertain Gwen's delusions, if only to try (in vain) to get her to curb her expectations.Also between this and the aliens I like how Gwen enjoys commenting on story beats / cliches>>153328023>We all have our own ways of grievingThe caucasity of this bitch, kekAgain, Gwen is clearly happy to have her buddy back in a way that suggest she cares about him more than just a sidekick/secondary but she's still not picking up how uncomfortable this is from his perspective.>>153328053Man all of the bad guys are racist in this issue, aren't they? Poor Cecil>>153328087Vincent is a fantastic villainous foil to Gwen. Whereas Gwen came to Marvel seeking excitement and adventure, Vincent desires the exact opposite: relative peace/quiet and normality, things that Gwen had in gross abundance in the real world. It's great contrast of each one wanting what the other has always had but doesn't appreciate.>>153328097>Not my problem! Not when I'm pouring out dump trucks of money for the trouble!>Can't argue with thatKek. Gwen experiencing what having a real job is like.>>153328108Cecil just cannot help himself from being forced to interact with insane women, can he? Lucky dead bastard>>153328125Like the throwaway joke her to explain how MODOK's base gets around so casually
>>153328161Rare moment of contemplation for Gwen, but pretty sensible given what she just went through with Miles. She notes how her previous actions got Cecil killed, and while it sort of worked out he's not all happy about it as she'd expect, and I like that she's actually taking this chance to reflect on her choices and worrying about the outcome for once rather than just charging in without thinking again. It's small but it's a good start for her.>>153328183KekAlso like how Gwen freezes up when she realizes karate doesn't beat guns.Thanks for storytime OP. Good start to the arc, had a lot of fun interactions with Gwen and her crew, as well as her mysterious benefactor. I really like Vincent as an antagonist and he's still got a lot to show, the notion that Gwen's having to work for a guy trying to make the Marvel universe everything she doesn't want it to be, everything she left our reality to escape from, makes him a perfect match. Gwen in particular has a lot of humorous bits throughout the issue in planning her decoy and comments on her circumstances. I especially like how the ending shows her slowly getting a clue from Cecil and her current situation that she hasn't been thinking things through enough, casting doubts about what she's done so far. Considering how she fucked things up with Miles in particular I think it's sensible she'd be more pensive here rather than just jumping in blind and assuming everything will work out again. We'll see how that sticks next issue
>>153327885giga based op.really wish gwenpool faded and stayed obscure, and that normies never picked her up. i can barely think of any fun stories that wouldnt better suited for fan comics rather than marvel, and theyve only proven me write by giving dog shit and mid over and over.anyway after this is where shit gets peak. only issue I didnt care for after the run pics up steam is the blade comic but everything else was goodi miss her sporting cast so much
>>153329439>Long before there was Jeff, there was Gwen-Pig as the premiere Gwen pet.The Jeff shit is lame. IIRC that was from Kelly's WCA and it's basically just making a character of Gwen's backpack and also going off of the shark meme from that one Super Bowl. Lame shit.
>>153329626>anyway after this is where shit gets peak.It still takes a bit. This arc is good, the Blade issue feels a bit like filler, then there's the Arcade story which is great, thenthe Ghost Rider/Kate story which is important but still kind of feels like filler (seriously, why was Haynes the go to fill-in artist her shitty art is why stuff feels unimportat). Issue 16 is when it starts going from "pretty good and amusing series" to easily one of the best comics Marvel put out in the 2010s.
>>153329643Jeff is okay. I don't like that Rivals catapulted him into being far more popular than his owner but he's also served as a veritable liferaft of relevancy for Gwen in a sea of hiatus.
Did we ever get a release of all of Gurihuru and Hasting's run? I hate holding onto floppies.
>>153329919There was an omnibus released a couple years ago that has all of Hastings/Gurihiru plus WCA and GSB included. Plus the trade paperbacks into five volumes
>>153327904>'teuthida' is the scientific taxonomic order for squid, derived from the Ancient Greek 'teuthis'Just getting that
>>153329919Not lately, and since they didn't announce anything around her 10th anniversary I'd say Marvel has no plans to reprint it. Also nobody knows what the future for Marvel's collected editions is going to look like going forward since the guy who was in charge of that department for the last 25 years got fired last week.
>>153328199thanks op
>>153327955No Gwen that'd make them 'speciesist'
>>153328097>he likes MODOK for not having powersprobably would have liked cecil too if he wasn't a ghost, he was just a good hackerAlso in that case if he didn't hire MODOK what teams would Vincent like?
>>153328040>I don't even know if I like the-in retrospect I'm not sure if he was about to say 'the ghost powers' or 'them', referring to his family, I recall he was pretty estranged with them
>>153328108Luv Sarah
>>153335084Shame about what her being a Gwenpool supporting character means though I guess it also means nobody will ruin her.
>>153335084simple as
I don't like Gurihiru's art.
