Marvel Comics has shed new light on the upcoming Spider-Gwen series, from a new title to new art. Originally announced as Spider-Gwen: On Tour, Spider-Gwen’s new series is titled Spider-Gwen: Smash. Written by Melissa Fores with art by Enid Balám, the first issue drops into comics shops on December 14th.
“I am having the time of my life writing this limited series!” Flores shared. “Getting to explore Gwen Stacy’s musical side as she goes on tour with the Mary Janes in her home dimension is a utter delight. Not only will the limits of Spider-Gwen’s aka Ghost-Spider’s powers be tested against some unexpected new enemies, but so will her relationships. There isn’t an escape portal to another world when things get uncomfortable inside a tour bus!”
So what’s Spider-Gwen: Smash about?
The Mary Janes are off on a four-city tour as the opening act to one of Earth-65’s biggest rock bands! Gwen has promised the band that this big break will be all about the music. No web-slinging, just drums. But when a mysterious assassin targets the headliner, Gwen begins to wonder how she got this gig in the first place.
