All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost Spider #2

/ / Comics

Continuing the opening arc, the second issue of All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost Spider starts with Cindy Moon barely making it out alive after a run-in with the same monster that took out Gwen’s guitarist. With her friend hospitalized, a half-cocked Gwen goes after answers and revenge, but it won’t be until the final page where she’ll come across what’s hunting people close to her.

Returning with a pretty long title, Gwen Stacy returns. Despite the character’s relatively young timeline, she’s gone through quite a bit of changes since first appearing just over 10 years ago. The new comic resets Gwen, setting up both her and her dad in the main Marvel Universe with Gwen having used a Cosmic Cube to fix a few issues (such as returning her spider-powers). Now set up on Earth-616, and looking to put together a new band, she’s also struggling a bit with romance, and a new threat looming just out of reach.

Relaunched for the third time in three years, new volume of Silk begins with our heroine the protagonist of a film noir detective story in mid-20th Century Los Angeles looking for a missing kid. It’s a stylish way to kick off the new series, which delays what is really happening until the last few pages where we see her psychiatrist and Saya Ishii working together and being responsible for the fake world Cindy is only just beginning to question as the comic comes to a close. Sadly, this means the noir world is likely coming to an end.

Cindy Moon gets a new comic and new writer. First up, Cindy dealing with the unexpected surge in celebrity of her spidery-alter-ego and the sarcophaguses of a hidden South Korean temple getting opened in a New York museum by some rather stupid kids who discover the hard way that putting themselves in danger for social media followers is going to end badly.

Much of what fans have come to expect in early Silk runs is still present here including Cindy’s internal monologue and narration, her dual jobs as an online journalist and super-hero (including taking down some dimwitted robbers), and keeping up with her therapy appointments in a less than full social calendar. As to what was awakened in the museum, it can’t be anything good. Looks like Cindy’s dance card just filled up.
