Since Gwenpool is participating in Ms. /co/, I will be storytiming her original series for as long as she remains in the contest.Issues 21-25 are the final issues of the series and they're really something special. Safe to say, Gwen goes out with a bang. Especially with that last issue, it feels really fitting to storytime it now, on the 10th anniversary of when the series first came out.If you enjoy the comic, give Gwen a vote at https://forms.gle/7PgeMES2Foj353xz9The first part is at >>155395836 The second part is at >>155413142The third part is at >>155426511The fourth part is at >>155440183

>>155461228It's crazy how correct Gwen was about her supporting cast. Editorial won't even allow them to show up in new Gwen comics.
Does anybody remember which one of the letters to the editor was from an anon who posted in the Gwen storytimes?
>>155461290
>>155461317
>>155461378>>155461276Is it actually because of editorial, or did no one just bother to pick them up?
>>155461411
>>155461444
>>155461411The writer of the latest Gwenpool mini said he wasn't allowed to have her supporting cast show up at Gwen's funeral, only Jeff and Kate.
>>155461473>>155461485Wow, that really sucks. Why are they so hellbent on not using them?
>>155461544
>>155461564
>>155461544Marvel editorial hate Unbelievable Gwenpool because of how Gwen is characterized. They wanted a zany female Deadpool, that's why during 2016 - 2018 when Gwen would appear in other comics she would act like that. Every attempt to bring back Gwen has her act less like her Unbelievable version and they are trying to bury any connections to this comic.
>>155461610
>>155461544Heather Antos, the editor on this book, apparently has said that Marvel did not really like Unbelievable because it wasn't what they wanted from the character which was "LOL memes". It's a case of them not understanding or caring about what made people like the character in the first place because it goes against the preconstructed box they wanted her in. They wanted Waypool: Girl Edition but instead got something that basically critiqued the entire concept.
>>155461643>>155461616Damn, that makes it almost like a miracle that Unbelievable happened at all.

>>155462857>>155462859And that's all!Holy shit I can't believe this. Two weeks ago ago I wouldn't even dare of dreaming that Gwen would actually win the title of Ms. /co/ on her 10th anniversary, symbolically calling back to what her future self was predicting about her longevity. It's actually poetic. I'm very thankful to everyone who voted for her because of my storytime and for everyone who campaigned for her while I was too busy doing this. I think this proves that no matter what Marvel decides to do with Gwen, she transcended being just a corporate character and found a home in our hearts as a /co/ icon. GWEN IS /OURGIRL/!!
>>155462857KINOthanks for storytime and congrats to Gwen
Thanks for the storytime OP. At the start of the tournament I was just hoping Gwen would make it to round 4, that's the furthest she'd ever made it. When she made E8 I was thrilled but figured that would be where she would lose. Even today I didn't think Gwen would ever actually win. I figured she'd get next year off and then I'd go back to campaigning in 2028. I'm glad her perfect attendance ended with her winning the whole thing.
>ruin the toytranny day again
>>155463082Thank you for this final storytime, anon. It was a joy to re-read the series earlier in spring in accordance with her 10th Anniversary and it's just as much fun to reread it now.I love this story so much. Gwen comes so far from where she started in #0 in growing as a person and feeling connections for other people. At the start of the series they barely mattered, now she's shedding tears knowing her cancelled friends might be gone forever. And in a way every year they don't appear makes this ending feel all the more accurate. I love the last two issues especially, the heist with Batroc is my favorite standalone issue of the series but the ending just feels more poignant with each year. I'm sad this series got cancelled but the ending we got out of it is genuinely touching and makes it so memorable.Also HOLY SHIT she actually won so way to go for /ourgirl/!

>>155463972Jazzed like you wouldn't believeIt's insaneI've never had a girl I actually care this much about WIN any of these tourneys before. I've gotten so used to accepting when they make it as far as fate allows
>>155463972I like itShe's been here a while and is the first pure comic win
>>155463972>>155464075>>155464086You needed /dbs/ to win lmao>>155463402
>>155464093a win is a win, seethe
>>155463972Top of the world
Honestly can't believe she actually won, thought the asexual thing would be the end of gwen. Every thread on her for like a month was trashed with /pol/ and despair. But guess gwen has rised like a phoneix
>>155460764holy shit Gwen just chucked a bag full of gold bars like it was nothing
>>155464238It probably helps that nobody acknowledges that retcon. It got posted in the Ms. /co/ threads a few times and nobody cared because Unbelievable is all anyone knows or cares about with Gwen.
>>155461180I've never read other comics that Batroc stars in, but I love his characterization in this run.
>>155464326That's honestly respectable and true, I haven't even read the dead gwen run yet. Mostly because I'm scared it was ass. Think the og and strike back are the only 2 that matter.
>>155461544>"Hell, you might even win a popularity contest on a certain mongolian basketweaving forum!"
>>155464450Yeah, it wasn't great. It had some moments I liked, but overall the entire concept sucked.
I love you all.
>>155464601Hmmm might as well finally watch since she's won. Wonder how the gwenanon taking this
>>155464613Thanks bro.
>>155464238>Honestly can't believe she actually won, thought the asexual thing would be the end of gwen. It probably helps that the ratio of "Asexual Gwen" to "Tranny Huntress" posts was 1:50
>>155462724What the hell? I wasn't expecting any feels from that background character, Hastings you bastard!
>>155464745True plus even though huntress was more flavor of the month, She's connected to not only AT which already has it's detractors. But her best arc is from Fiona and Cake, and s2 considered it's worst most boring season. I like huntress but really the odds were against her.
>>155464849I really don't think the AT hatred mattered much in comparison to the literal raidLike the literal full on raid that flooded the entire finale with nothing but spam
>>155463972Eternal
>>155464909True weird raid but not first time the ms /co/ got raid'ed for for bs
Outside of Marvel dropping a new Gwenpool comic by Hastings and Gurihiru is this the best possible outcome we could have hoped for for Unbelievable Gwenpool's 10th anniversary? We had the storytime around the actual anniversary, then she wins Ms. /co/.
>>155465346Marvel may have forgotten Gwen, but /co/ sure hasn't
>>155464613I love you too nigga>>155464238Asexuality gives +20 purity points. it's arguably better for her PR here than being heterosexual
>>155464238Strange that no one tried to push the angle of her being a pedophille given the whole controversy with Katie Power couple thing
>>155464613Happy Birthday miss winner!
>>155465424Anon that would have boosted her.
>>155464613This drawing makes me happy. Thanks >>155464849ATfags and HW supporters shouldn't act like she was definitely going to win. AT is already controversial and disliked by many posters, and Huntress in general had a lot against her just because of the tranny stuff, which is kind of irrelevant. Even though I also dislike AT, she's one of the only characters I would have voted for
>>155465520Fair point but it's weird no one brought it upSeemed like it would lead to some OC
>>155465539>ATfags and HW supporters shouldn't act like she was definitely going to winNo, but it was a 20 vote difference, and I'm pretty sure I can tell what made the final difference.
>>155465346Best outcome would be as you said and maybe a short cartoon adaptation that follows closely to hastings characterization and story.
>>155465944Yes, Mexicans.
>>155464613Based
>>155465944>I'm pretty sure I can tell what made the final difference.No. Shut up. Leave me alone, don't shatter my reality. I can't fathom your truth, it will kill me
>>155466053We don't really know what's the truth here. The truth is buried under 5 layers of shitposting and schizophrenia.
>>155466088You can generally assume that the truth is almost always the worst most disappointing option.
>>155465424Literally was a massive meme in the gwen threads for a while. I remember people joked about her meeting punisher for it or being on catch a predator. It was quite a popular joke, also it was "Julie" Power>>155465381You at least know she's a virgin I suppose>>155465539Yeah FC was pretty ass the only thing keeping those threads alive was hope that HW would get with finn and the fanart. Yeah fiona used to have potential but now her story made her kind of unlikeable. But hey HW came close so no point shitting on her.
>>155458278Was this during the time Victor was subbing in for Iron Man?
bump
>>155464411After this he got some dates with Black Cat than back to be a background villian
>>155465296What is the story about this raid?
>>155466118>You at least know she's a virgin I supposeDidnt she fuck with Omega Kid?
>>155466892Blossom fag had a melt down and that attracted the /dbs/ shitposters who saw that huntress was advancing so tried to false flag the threads with /dbg/ memesThis then snowballed into the threads being spammed with low effort shitposts used for years in the threads and anons couldn't actually have a conversation about the winner
>>155466918We like to forget kid omega, also that kind of is non-canon as it negates the asexual thing. She was lusty asf for omega kid
>>155466928Oh so it's 1 blossom anon???, I was confused why they made a thread when bubbles and buttercup were still in the running. Then they were bitching about no 1 when blossom was like what in the 108 or 64 when she got kicked out?
>>155467005She lusty Mr Fantastic too
>>155466928But why attack Huntress? She didnt deveated Blossom
>>155467025Seems blossom fag is an enemy of the general or something I don't knowAll I know is the blossom fag meltdown is what attracted the /dbg/ shitposters
>>155467067Huntress was just an easy target after beating jessica rabbit so the tranny accusations went into overdrive because their shitposts typically have homoerotic stuff or tranny bashing
>>155467068I guess I can see it, ppg scale weird and I remember the ppg thread sometimes had a lot of weird blossom wanking. I assumed it was because that was just /co/'s fave. But maybe it was them I also remember someone hating hard on buttercup too, guess it's no three amigo with them. I always felt if one ppg girl wins they all do
>>155467067They’re mentally unhinged psychopaths, they don’t need a reason.
No way a Gwen year was going to be missing just a little chaos
>>155467067Because for reasons I don’t quite fully understand the character and her fans, despite being pretty damn chill from what I saw in the tournament threads, are plagued by some of the most unhinged schizos, trolls and autists I’ve ever seen.I genuinely feel bad for the poor bastards.
>>155467423The schizos are still spamming. It's just them being bored.
>>155467209Cheeky
>>155463581I'd put Unbelievable up there with some of my other favorite under the radar Marvel series over the last 20ish years like Avengers: The Initiative.
>>155464238Every Gwenpool appearance after Unbelievable is non-canon. If Hastings didn't write it then it didn't happen. Therefore Gwen is not asexual nor is she a reality warping mutant.
>>155459127KING CRIMSON
>>155461683>>155461616Gwen kills Marvel editorial to bring her friends back when?
>>155462689>>155462666okay but why actually does nobody just sic squirrel girl on baddies like mephisto get peter's fucking marriage back you lazy bintoh andWE MISS YOU GEORGES BATROC AND GWENPOOL
>>155468297So she's still a autistic fujo fangirl from our verses. >nor is she a reality warping mutant.X-men are like a plague anytime they attach to a character, they ruin them
>>155468560I miss cecil as well, he really was great for gwen her personal tardwrangler. Allowed her to be silly and weird but have a anchor, now on her own she has to either go fully 4th wall deadpool or be much more subdued without dadtroc or cecil to be her straightman
>>155461544The new version really was fucking awful after reading thismade her a whore lol memes gal
Her old crew really was the best
I'll be honest, I've only had a surface-level understanding of Gwenpool, so after finally reading her comic in these threads, I know now what makes her so special.It's a damn shame this run had to end so soon, her interactions with both M.O.D.O.K.s, Cecil, and the rest of the supporting cast were a joy to read. Honestly, I wished we spent time with Team M.O.D.O.K. more, but with only 25 issues, it was inevitable that it had to be cut short for the rest of her story.I would've loved to see how Gwenpool's concept could be fully realized without editorial breathing down everyone's necks. Honestly, her interactions with lower-tier characters (at least, I'm pretty sure some were lower-tier, I'm not much of a comic reader) were more enjoyable than the ones with more "popular" characters. I think it's more interesting that way and shows off her comic knowledge more.
>>155469264The "popular" ones she meets are all diversity hire replacements of the time. Miles is the only one who's still a thing. Sure Deadpool's popular but he's straight up an antagonist when he appears. Plus this postmodern Deadpool is the opposite of Waypool with trying too hard to be dramatic. Literally gets cucked by his wife multiple times. So yeah, the lesser known lower rung characters like Batroc are better for it being here in something having fun.
>>155466118>It was quite a popular joke, also it was "Julie" PowerAnother character screwed over by bad writing.
>>155469294Yeah it was only a matter of time before she met Deadpool, at least that interaction wasn't too bad and it didn't overstay its welcome.You got any comics to recommend after this? Any Deadpool ones worth reading?
>>155469264it's all the more worthwhile if she gets more people reading her comic. glad you enjoyed it anon>More time with MODOKsame, Gwen's supporting cast is great. I like how the book manages to establish its own set of characters for Gwen so it feels like it stands on its own legs rather than overly depending on bigger heroes.
Kind of sad the afterparty threads are a schizo crossboarding mess. Congrats Gwenpool and her fans. Nice to see some happiness about it.
>>155469354Really funny apparently the guy that made her asexual is known for writing all his characters that way. At least 2 others, so yes very much bad writing that and it coming out in march and april iirc and already having a comic in the lgbt marvel book tells it all.>>155469264I said it once I'll say it again gwen needs to at least keep batroc and cecil around. Batroc isn't doing much else anyway so why not keep him as her mentor/support. An same with cecil he's been with gwen since her literal intro in the police car. He kind of feels necessary to work around gwen's autismo
>>155469547Batroc = stern father figureCecil = long suffering tard wranglerSarah = equally crazy tard enabler Among the cast Tony's really the only one that stands out as kind of bland to me. I'd call him the Team Mom since he's the healer but Ronnie is the best mom figure in the comic.
>>155469567Personally I think Tony's arc in the comic works. He was a genius who just kinda fell into MODOK despite being a much better fit for lab work. Let him stay more of a side character that works for some big company and sometimes moonlights as Gwen's sci-fi gadget supplier. Also was the name Mega Tony a riff on Fat Tony?
>>155469614>spoilerMaybe? I mean he does weigh a Megaton-y.
>>155469416I think people liked the Duggan run that was coming out at roughly the same time as Gwenpool, though I don't know how well it aged.
Thanks for the storytime, anon.
>>155459317>Doom offers to fix the Doombot’s busted faceHow the hell did I not catch that first time around, I like it
>>155469614>>155469567I think they all work in a way I can imagine it like>Cecil finally goes to college, just to learn that gwen has edited her way into the same one>His life is now a sitcom when he thought he was finally moving up>Mega tony, gets a nice job at stark industries developing thing>Every other week gwen blows his lab up asking him for gagdet or to investigate some foreign object she just got stabbed with>Terrible eye is the same old, mostly just gwen's gal pal and mystic person>Batroc tries to be both a mentor and also father figure trying to keep gwen out of troubleThough I do think cecil and Batroc are the only must haves, but gwen had a nice little team at the time so I can see them all working as her found family
>>155460708>>155460694Same. I also love how it's Batroc that came up with it. Since the start Batroc was one of the earliest characters to have faith in Gwen / believe she at least thinks she's in a comic based on her results, so it's cool he'd be the one to think how to use her powers
>>155469416Classic Deadpool before the 2000s. Maybe at least Deadpool & Cable after. Waypool era is heavily divisive. Especially if you hate the lolmemes era of Deadpool red-dit memes.>>155470087It happened before at the start of Marvel NOW!. It's okay for a while but starts to wear thin on making Deadpool miserable. Then the world ended. Then it got fixed & that's where they let Deadpool be happier & get married only to ruin it.
>>155471751Batroc really sells the comic.Some people read the series after i show Gwen sayng goodbye to Batroc.
>>155462666>666>On Mephisto's pageSpooky....
>>155469009I'd really like to see her in more stuff.
>>155459347>Gwen calling out 'Reformed Doom' as an obvious temporary gimmickLove when Gwen calls stuff like this out

>>155472949His bit about failing despite your best efforts in 155416069 really stuck with me.
>>155476674fucked up formatting>>155416069
>>155459367>>155459463Reminds me of Cucumber Quest and how the insufferable little sister unleashed the ultimate evil cause she wanted to go on a hero quest. Of course, obviously he did not turn out to be the ultimate evil, but still.
>>155477705so many Gwenpool!
>>155477705Which one's your favorite?Hartman Gwen is shockingly on model
>>155478293Ongezellig and Boop Gwens are pretty nice
>>155478293Monarch HenchGwen was fun and the color scheme fit her shockingly well
Gwenpool, the Furryslayer
For your interest>>155479622
>>155479669Has this always been a thing?
>>155479784No, it was a one-time thing on /tnt/ in 2023 (as far as I remember Gwenpool didn't participate) This fag is just trying to bring it back to be an attention whore.
What do you guys think of this Gwenpool fan animation from a couple of weeks ago?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIpw5PF6S_4It's a bit chunky animation but it is a passion project of one very dedicated Gwenfag. I think the starting introduction is a bit much but I'm guessing it was deemed necessary for quickly introducing Gwen to potential new watchers, and they're tongue-in-cheek about it on the storyboard. I thought it had really funny uses of her meta powers for the animation, and while extremely abbreviated it captures one of the most important themes of Unbelievable which is finding meaning in things you don't think are important at first.
>>155480292better than any Disney Plus show
>>155482140I'm so proud of /ourgirl/
>>155482140of all the girls for Gwen to go up against in the Finals, Huntress Wizard was the last one I expected but it strangely clicked for me
DRINK! DRINK! DRINK!
>>155482211Gwen can't drinkShe's been 19 years old for 11 years
Ms. /co/ is officially over and Gwen's streak of participating in all 9 has come to an end. If her streak needed to end I couldn't think of a better way then for her to win it.
>>155482140Eve is really liked, or she has a streak of luck?
I had taken this pic to post when Gwen lost, but luckily I never got to post it during the tournament. I guess I'll post it now.
>>155480190Well at least it's more productive than the spam.
>>155482204It was a pretty good matchup all things considered. Glad Gwen won but I still feel kinda bad for her fans that they had to put up with all that shit posting and their pick didn’t win but she came close and they were pretty cool the whole tournament. If she qualifies again in 2028 I’ll vote for her.
>>155482250Eve has been in the E8 3 times now.
>>155482253And how you feel, Anon?
>>155482274that's why i'm asking... did she ever go against heavy hitters?
>>155482217It's fine as long as its within the safety of her own home
>>155482311I'm feeling great. I never expected Gwen to make the Elite 8, let alone win. I thought her being strictly a comics character without any cartoon appearances was a hurdle she'd never overcome since this board is much more cartoon focused.
Which author should I avoid if I wanted to get into Gwenpool comics?
>>155482428You really should just read this series
>>155482257Really hope Huntress fans find us here to celebrate
>>155482428Everything else but this series.
>>155482470Well you’ve got one right here, I was one of HW’s primary campaigners and the guy who wrote those posts about her design and mythology and stuff.Been checking out these comics for a couple days now and they’re pretty good, I like ‘em. I appreciate the effort Gwenposter went through to compile them all for anons to read, with that kind of dedication it’s no wonder Gwenpool won her fans are on another level!Congrats again on the victory, you guys deserved it.
She may not have been some giga powerhouse icon but thread and tourney wise she's one of the most deserving winners ever. Several years of built up campaigning and positive reputation. Congrats again.
>>155482428>Short answerLiterally all of them but Hastings>Long answerWhen people think of Gwenpool fondly, they're almost always thinking of her as written by Christopher Hastings in The Unbelievable Gwenpool, what these storytimes have been. This is her original arc, the one that establishes her character/arc that people enjoy. But after that run, Hastings never came back to write Gwen again and all her other writers seem to have a very hard time grasping the Gwen he created.You're free to read any of them if you want more Gwen but just know none of them hold a candle to her first run. Here's the major ones / my thoughts on them.>Kelly Thompson, 'West Coast Avengers' (2019)Gwen's first/only team book featuring her tagging along with Kelly's favorite Kate Bishop. I think this book is just okay, it is neither great nor disastrous. Gwen just doesn't have much to do in it, her only significant contributions are A) a fairly forced romance with Quentin Quire no one likes that much and B) introducing her pet land shark Jeff, who has since propelled past Gwen into becoming more popular than her.>Leah Williams, 'Gwenpool Strikes Back' (2020)Gwen's first five-issue mini after Unbelievable ended. Leah writes a very memey Gwen. She won't stop talking to the audience, cracking jokes, she is especially manic in a way she wasn't in Unbelievable (and doesn't make much sense after her arc in that book). The first three issues are pretty bad but, IMO, it ends on a strong note. There's a twist that retroactively explains why she's acting so ADHD in the first few issues that I think works out, but it doesn't really justify the first few issues.
>>155482631>Jeremy Whitley, 'Love Unlimited' (2023)This is a mobile only run for the 'Love Unlimited' series which is an online comic featuring romances. When people think of Gwen's lowest point, they probably think of this comic. I'm of the opposite opinion I had with GSB, I think this book starts out alright and then plummets into the abyss with the final act. Jeremy also has Gwen talking to the camera nonstop but has some moments where he seems to have good ideas for her in the first few parts, but this is the comic where she comes out asexual and the whole of the last comic is just a pamphlet about asexuality.>Cavan Scott, 'Gwenpool' (2025)Better than Love Unlimited though that's not saying much, but the more I hear about this run the more I think I'm too hard on its writer. I keep reading interviews where he wanted to use a lot more from Unbelievable but kept getting blocked by the editor. But that said this one isn't that great either. Cavan doesn't have her talking to the camera but she similarly sounds OOC with how many cracks she's making a second, save for her inner-monologues which actually sound decent. This is the one that was going to bring back the 'real' Gwen Stacy as a new, dark Gwenpool to come into conflict with Gwen Poole. It has an interesting final twist but the lesson is literally something she already learned in Unbelievable dressed differently. I'm not sure if I like it more or less than GSB I rank them about even.She also has some quick appearances in other runs that I think are worth reading>ChampionsChampions is really 'IRL social issues' charged but Gwenpool appears for one issue that I think is funny because she wants nothing to do with it.>Superior Spider-manThe West Coast Avengers show up for two issues but in that time the writer does Gwenpool IMO the best since Hastings, it's not really a lot to do for her but it stood out to me as feeling like someone who actually grew from the experience of her first book.
>>155482640I will say I do prefer GSB > GP 2025 thinking on it. GSB's ending kind of saves it for me, GP25 has its moments but it's frustrating considering the marketing that went into it.
>>155482640Oh and there was one other run I forgot>It's JeffIt's Jeff is a mobile comic primarily starting Gwen's pet doing cute shenanigans. There really isn't much of anything regarding substance here, it is complete fluff but Gwen appears regularly and always drawn by Gurihiru. It barely has a narrative but it's cute and shows Gwen in a domestic life style a lot that you don't usually see. I keep my eye out for it for the art.Jeff also gets larger issues with dialogue sometimes that Gwen appears in. Again there isn't a lot of substance and it's kind of cutesy as Kelly goes for but she's written fine in it.
Wow, awesome compendiun you just did there anon. You're a real one.Also, so this is where that effin shark comes from?! uh...
>>155482756You are still as pretty as the day i lost you...
>>155482805YeahGwen gave jeff to deadpool because she knew she woldn't last long but deadpool would and jeff could still live that wayShe ended up helping be bigger than her which was her plan
>>155482850After Deadpool stop carring by this.... Jeff ended with Elsa Bloodstone......than... MAYBE it's Jeff is canon and Jeff is in Kate's apartment.It's funny that in Marvel Rivals Jeff apper to be Emma Frost's pet.
>>155482905As long as there's a character with a run, you can just say Jeff lives with them
>>155482805Yeah, Jeff has become so popular thanks to Rivals many people aren't aware of his connection to Gwen.Gwen is literally the one who gave Jeff his name.
>>155482971Sometimes she shows up too.I dont remember if she is in the Jeff's articles in Marvel Rivals
>>155482556good to have you HWbro, glad you found gwen enjoyableI always liked Huntress Wizard in AT but I was not fully aware of what role she played in the new F&C show, really love that they finalized she got with Finn the guy deserved some happiness.
>>155480292It's pretty SOVL
>>155483034Yeah, she’s pretty fun. I didn’t know too much about the character beforehand so I’ve enjoyed getting to know Gwenpool through a good old fashioned /co/ storytime. I haven’t finished reading everything yet but I’m enjoying it so far.And yeah, if F&C did one thing right it was everything they did with HW, I think that season 2 ending helped her win over a few people.
>>155483423>Gwen is a Peach mainI could see it
>>155457668Marvel needs to release this series in compact format
>>155482965Even Red Skull?
>>155482631>>155482640>>155482701Good write-up anon
>>155461228Have they interacted even ONCE since this moment? Or even referenced each other's existence? It's really sad to think this was truly the end.
>>155484460No
>>155484460In "Strikes Back" she mention him.in "Peter Parker & Miles Morales: Spider-Men Double Trouble" Dark Gwenpool and Batroc are toghetter on the background
>>155484460He has a brief appearance with the rest of Team MODOK in a background shot in Gwenpool Strikes BackFor all its faults, Love Unlimited at least has Gwen outright admit that Batroc is one of the most important people to her.
>>155485089In the Peter and Morales story they can be cosplayers and not the real Batroc and D.Gwen.
I always had an idea for a Gwenpool/Batroc story I'd wish someone would make>Batroc has a daughter, Marie Batroc, who was created/killed in one page for Taskmaster to make a joke about Batroc being a faggot>In the Gwenpool Christmas Special, when reality is being warped so that it's suddenly a holiday tradition for ghosts of those important to you come to visit you, she's alluded to as the reason Batroc is grumpy around the holidays>Marie is a short-haired blonde so she has a passing resemblance to Gwen, so maybe Batroc is seeing his daughter in Gwen at times / wanted to prepare her better than he prepared Marie>Gwen KNOWS how Marie died because of the page and feels really bad she used to find it funny, not having the heart to tell Batroc his daughter was created for a single joke page to be killed off.>Batroc finds out Gwen knows about Marie and specifically WHO killed her, starting a revenge plot where he goes after Taskmaster to avenge his daughter while Gwen tries to talk him out of it knowing neither of them have the clout to kill Taskmaster
>>155485497It amuses me that Forking Gail Simone from all people created two women caracters just to kill they.But Jacinda Rodriguez did show up after this... Marie that we dont know... put her in a wheelchair os something.
This one was great
>>155485089>>155485461
>>155486058Very nice, good posing on Gwen and I love the Kraven the Hunter outfit on HW in the back.Is this based on a cover or is it original?
>>155486881Based on the cover.
>>155486058>Huntress as Kravenheh, clever
>>155459485It picked up steam again around the time RDJ was recast and speedreader influencers started saying "DUDE THEY'RE DOING X FROM THE COMICS IT'S SO COMIC ACCURATE OH MY GOD THE MCU IS BACK" and using this arc and that one What If as "proof".
>No Rivals>No Tokon>No re-released trades for 10th anni >Wins Ms. /co/I'll take it
>>155488256They'll inevitably put her in Rivals eventually. Even if as a Lady Loki style skin for Deadpool.
>>155482640>She also has some quick appearances in other runs that I think are worth readingAdding to this, she's VERY well-utilized in the last arc of that Spider-man and Deadpool comic, but it's probably incoherent without reading the rest of the comic. Probably the only time outside of her own comic where she's allowed to really use the meta stuff as a superpower.There was also a short-lived MODOK comic where she popped up. It was a fairly safe portrayal, but fine. She's hired to shoot MODOK in the head, kills him, then sees he was looking up information on his family. Then she goes "oh fuck, they're humanizing him. I'm the bad guy in this story", goes on a short rant about how easy it is for them to reset her to her volume 1 characterization, cuts the page where she killed him out of the story, then leaves him with a lead where to find the guys who killed his family or whatever. Honestly one of the better uses of her.
>>155488256>>No re-released trades for 10th annithey are reprinting the omnibus
>>155488740Oh, that i didn't know. That's pretty cool
Also so new readers know, there are a few other instances of Hastings writing Gwen outside of Unbelievable as well. >Gwenpool Holiday Special: Merry Mix-Up (2016)An anthology of Christmas stories made up of different writers, Gwen's part is by Hastings>Edge Of Venomverse (2017) #2This one I especially like, it's a one-shot with Gwen paired with a symbiote. It's very funny, Gwen and her symbiote play off each other well. Also secretary Gwen a cute.
I never really disliked her but this image somehow captures my feelings towards Gwen's win. Anyway congrats.
>>155489836Don't forget the 3 page story in Not Brand Echh #14
>>155489949Appreciated anon!
>>155489949Hey, we are going to cheer for HW in 2028 o/
>>155489949I love stingrays so fucking much bros
>>155484460she still has a photo of her friends in the jeff comic drawn by gurihiruthey couldn't fit mega tony in though, sadly
>>155490577There is any interview with gurihiru about Gwen?
>>155489938>hfw I'm not canon
>>155483015she's referenced a few times if i'm not mistaken, specifically in Jeff and Deadpool's lore logs in lore, Jeff was with Gwen before being abducted by Deadpool for the Collector there's also a reference to Gwenpool in one of Jeff's skins, see picrel interestingly, Deadpool's lore log says it contains easter eggs for future seasons of the game. one of them was Devil Dinosaur who was added a few months ago. obviously, Gwenpool was referenced in Deadpool's lore log, so it's not impossible they have plans to add her to the game
>>155490982I'm still holding out hope for TOKON, at this point mostly based on the /vg/ ''''leak''''Gwen got her colors added to Deadpool at least but I still want to believe
>>155490572I was actually at an aquarium last year where the ray enclosure was set up so that it looks like they're waving at you with their fins as they're swimming by. I thought it was neat.
>>155491122I can’t remember the last time I went to an aquarium. I should schedule a trip, that’d be fun.
>>155490982>>155491089I'm expecting her to get something like Sombra's invisibility/intangibility to represent her jumping between panels. And a Jeff synergy where she can carry him while doing that for annoying backline ults.
>>155490982In one event of Rivals, A Gwenpool was spoted at the Stage(the director in the guy in the pic)
>>155490982I can see someone reading>best buddy Gwenand go "Gwen Stacy?"
>>155493068Gwen Stacy did steal Gwen Poole hair in most of things
>>155492230That's the face of "Uoh, we need to add another blonde-haired, blue-eyed white woman with a fat ass right away!"
>>155492230>neuron activation
>>155493537>But sir, her powers don't translate well to the game. She'll be broken no matter how we nerf her->I DON'T CARE, I NEED ANOTHER SNOWBUNNY NOW!
>>155491462I figured she'd play more like modern Symmetra, where she basically has an extremely short-range Strange Portal and fights by poking through it. To represent how how she can attack people from off-angles by shooting between the panels. And for an ult, she just jumps someone and does this >>155458217And give her a few other powers with goofy visuals, like stealing health from her past healthbar. (functionally just spending like 100 health to heal for 100 later)
>>155482631>Gwen just doesn't have much to do in it, her only significant contributions are A) a fairly forced romance with Quentin Quire no one likes that muchI remember some people liked it during the original storytimes
>>155494168Quentin Quire have some fans
>>155494168if other anons liked it that's okay, but i just don't think they had that much chemistry. To me it seemed like a typical hate-fuck romanceMy Gwenship of choice has always been Cecil
Should Gwen age in real time in the comics universe?
>>155494983No because then she'd be a 30 year old hag this yearkeep her young forever
>>155494983No? That was the whole point that she doesn't age because she's a comic character now. Only side characters age.
>>155495078>>155495081okay...it was just a ideia....
>>155495428Did you READ the comic before posting?
>>155495081>Only side characters age.Gwen is a Jeff side character now.
>>155495428I've thought about Gwen aging up a bit to catch up with her 'real world' self, or growing her hair out to look more like her Future adult self in the Unbelievable ending would be cool. But like Gwen says in the comic it only happens under specific, important narrative circumstances.An interesting thing with this is the 'Sliding Timescale' effect. Marvel will keep all their characters the same age but consistently move up the year count anyhow to keep up with modern events. Kamala took 10 years to graduate High School for example. I think the way it would work for Gwen specifically is she perceives the passage of time the same as all the other characters, in that from her perspective only a few months or a year or so has passed since she first arrived in real-time. But, she looks at a calendar and sees "2026" and she knows she got here in 2015, so it clues her in that 10 years have passed in the real world since she arrived.
It's that time of the week again.
>>155492230Somebody, get this based nigga to read all 25 issues, translated and to make editors seethe because women with depth were not the result of their actions, especially their oh-so precious waifu.
What voices do you imagine the characters have? I can't pin Gwen's, but Cecil just sounds like Dante Basco to me.
>>155491462I have no idea how they'd pull it off, but she should play like someone who's hacked the game, but obviously on some kind of rails to not actually be unfair. She should be able to sequence break and slide into the void beneath the map and whatever.
>>155496154>GwenFunny you mention Zuko's VA because I think I hear Ty Lee's voice for Gwen I think>CecilLance from Symbiotic Titan, probably due to the visual similarity.>SarahPosey from Mission Hill for some reason, feel like she has that kind of rasp to her voice>TonyJack Black, specifically the Po voice (likely due to his weight)>BatrocSpy from TF2 no question
>>155496424>Gwentlemen
>>155496154I think Jennifer Hale could do a good Gwen, but she might be better as Sarah. For some reason I imagine Cecil having Jason Marsden's voice.
>>155496200Adding a space under the map for Gwen to drop into would be functionally similar to invis+intangibility, but is more thematic for a game. Could add wallhacks while she's down there as well. Cooldown hacks are common in some games so maybe one of her skills just recharges hers and her teammates (ults excluded obvMaybe a dash+shadowclone to emulate abusing lag Ult could just be aimbot, which isn't that OP in a game like Rivals but would fit with the rest of her kitAlternatively her ult could let her target enemy health bars directly, the bars are fragile and destroying them kills the associated enemy but since Gwen has to focus she's slow and vulnerable while doing it.
>>155495540
>>155496154Gwen? Courtney from Smosh some 5 years ago.
>>155496975And I didnt sleep :(
>>155494836they have a good opposites attract thing going on, both in appearance (green and pink are complementary colors, plus his dark hair contrasts with her blonde) and personality
>>155496154In my head, I've been hearing Gwen as Kristen Schaal but at the same time I don't like itI've been reading Tony's lines with the voice of Gunther from Kick ButtowskiFor Sarah, when she has her mask on, I read her lines sounding like a female version of Filmore from Smiling FriendsI imagine hearing Batroc being voiced by Tom Kenny, there's a frenchman character he voices somewhere but I can't put my finger as to who. It's not the Spongebob narrator.Not sure about Cecil.
>>155461683>Heather Antos, the editor on this book, apparently has said that Marvel did not really like Unbelievable because it wasn't what they wanted from the character which was "LOL memes".So they wanted dogfood, got high quality steak, and were mad that they didn't have dogfood?What fucking wankers.
>>155494836But can Gwen eat the MovieBob special?
>First Gwensday as being official Ms. /co/ 2026feeling good gwenbros?
>>155499328Sure am
Another nice surprise: we got new Gwen content todayJeff: Superstar #3 came out
>>155499328She deserves it
>>155500032Tokitokoro draws a nice GwenIf Gwen got another mini or even ongoing with her as the artist (assuming Gurihiru is too expensive/unavailable) I would be content.
>>155500032She's been appearing in the end segments of the last two comics but the preview for #5 suggests a more active role, not that I'm assuming that to be that much but it's something to look forward to I guess.
>>155500032Goddamit Kate, give Gwen a room in the house already
>>155501674Gwen has been living on Kate's couch for 3 years now.
>>155501724Gwen's living situation has been murkySome Jeff comics she has her own house
>>155503672>wonder how she pays for a house>reminded while reading this storytime >>155461180 Batroc gives Gwen his share of the gold so with that one haul she's probably set for life financially
>>155503064MODOK created Jeff?
>>155504267a bunch of they
>>155503983>wonder how she pays for a house
>>155505019Gwen never canonically interacted with Bullseye, has she? But he was a mentor to some weird loli Spider-Girl in some weird Marvel book last year IIRC?
>>155505044i think she would not talk with him (she read the comics), Spider-girl really dosent know that he was a killer.but it was a funny bit putting the pic.
>>155505072>Spider-girl really dosent know that he was a killer.Oh, so she wasn't training to be an assassin or anything?
>>155505610Daredevil was training Bailey (Spiderboy) as he did some shenanigans and take the place of Bullseye in a tornament.So he did train the girls to be a villian, especially to fight spider-people.
>>155505019The best duo
>>155483015>>155490982it was announced today that Jeff's getting a Gwenpool-themed recolor for his Jeffpool skin
>>155506656>Gwenpool skin for Jeff in Rivals>Gwenpool skin for Deadpool in TokonYes good good but WHAT ABOUT GWEN HERSELF
>>155506656Is this good news or bad news for if you want Gwen as a playable, I'm not familiar with the patterns in Rivals but I assume this to be the equivalent of getting a Mii Costume confirmed in Smash
>>155506656Imagine if they did this specifically because Gwenpool won a cartoon character contest on a Burmese snake-charming forum.
fortnite gwenpool
>>155507029Rivals say that they where not make "alternative Spider-men" and all would be Peter's skins.NOW it appers they are dropping the rule as Milesfags keep crying, so maybe we got a Gwenpool non-deadpool's skin
New close up of the figure
>>155509406I hate that it's Fortnite but this game was shockingly generous to Gwen>Multiple costumes>Multiple items>Specific dance>Specific song>LOTS of lore tidbits from Unbelievable throughoutthe only thing they needed to fix were the damn pants
Went in blind with this series. Had nothing by my pre-existing preconceptions of the character and my own personal baggage (can't stand Deadpool). I have since been thoroughly schooled; I'm glad I stuck with this series all the way to the end. Not only helped me to see Gwen in a better light but also gave me a soft spot/respect for Batroc as well. Almost got a little misty-eyed near the end too.It might not be much, but thank you for the storytime, and congratulations to Gwen for the win. It really was unbelievable.
>>155510698The greatest reward of all for Gwen is neither a title nor fancy crown, but with every single new fan she makesThe title is still pretty fuckin nice thoughGlad you enjoyed the storytime
>>155463581I consider this her canon ending. Everything else is Mojo slop for ratings.
This shit made me get a real human bean job 10 years ago. Then I realized working is for chumps and now I got 2 houses thanks to seducing morons.
>>155511592But yes, the intro chapters hit me hard.I sometimes regret giving up on being a true and honest sheep.
>>155509492>>155511547
>>155509406I need to do a render with her at some point
>>155511964For que 4chan cup?
>>155512643>Gwen in the 4CCthis would be surreal, I'd love to see itDo they allow changes/updates to the roster, I've never seen anything Ms. /co/ related to it
>>155513092Ms and Mr /co/ are on the team, somethimes they do a pool to see if people want changes on the team.on Ms co case, they change the model to if she is in the team.
>>155513174Ah, I just took a look at some clips. The Mr. / Ms. /co/ players are trophies, right?That's neat though I was kind of hoping it'd be like full character models
>>155513738Somethimes, Raven was a model.As Gwenpool has a fortnite model it maybe be easy to put her in the game.there was one time a player called "Gwenpool is cute" but i dont remember if her have a model.
>>155513782In which case that'd be coolGwen's gonna have a busy year if she's playing the 4CC
>>155511592>2 houses thanks to seducing morons
>>155488256I'd also add in>no crossover covers in the Superman/Spider-man event despite Prime getting one or two>no Death Battle video with Prime in lieu of Sentry
>>155460108>>155460136While Good Doom was a temporary gimmick I like how effectively he's used here to teach Gwen that she can pick her own path and isn't beholden to being just one role fate picked for her.
>>155517146I like how Good Doom was a better Ironman than Riri Willians
>>155509406I wonder if they have the same base model for every female character.
>>155509406>kingdom hearts update droppedHow much would Gwen onions at getting to use a keyblade?
>>155516332>no Death Battle video with Prime in lieu of SentryI found this recently, an animator did a little 2D pixel fight
>>155517399Pretty low bar innit?
What marvel writer do think Gwen wishes she could have met before getting sucked into the verse?
>>155521337Her tastes seem pretty varied (if zoomie) in terms of her favorite heroes. I think she'd like to have met Chris Claremont given his huge role in writing X-Men and various other Marvel characters.Spider-Man is canonically her favorite superhero and given her age I'm guessing she'd have a fondness for Slott and Straczynski.Jonathan HIckman was a big deal leading up to Secret Wars, I think she'd like him.We also know she's a Milesfag so Bendis himself has to be up there.We know she likes Kate Bishop so probably Gillen and FractionAnd probably Kamala's writer Wilson.
