I had high expectations for this and was immensely disappointed. For something that has a vivid and alluring cover for each issue, the actual art throughout the story is uninspiring, dull, and flat. What I expected to be a rainbow of watercolors was something trying to mimic the Batman Animated series from the 90s. The story doesn't make up for any of that, either. The pacing is sloppy and the sequence of the panels (or lack thereof) don't help make the narrative flow. Despite knowing the events with the Spiderverse, you still get thrown into Gwen's world with little to no context. She's Spider-Woman and her dad's a cop and she's in a band and her bandmates are constantly fighting with each other or her and Peter Parker is dead. That's it. Is she in college? Does she have a job? Was she ever friends with her bandmates to begin with? I love the "work"/life balance that Marvel demonstrates in their works and it's not touched on at all here. Her only struggle is band practice vs fighting crime. The only touching moment was when she talked to Aunt May and that was kind of it. I wanted more scenes like that, but the story kept wanting to barrel forward with the villains and action scenes without giving the reader any reason to care to begin with.
