Spider-Gwen Calls Out Spider-Man's Darkest 'Gwen' Story
Warning: Contains a preview for Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse #1
A preview for Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse #1 — by Tim Seeley, Jodi Nishijima, and Federico Blee — shows that Marvel Comics is still not going to forgive Spider-Man for his biggest mistake and his darkest moment: the death of Gwen Stacy.
Spider-Gwen is a version of Gwen Stacy from Earth-65. In her universe, Gwen was the one bitten by a radioactive spider and became a hero, while her boyfriend Peter Parker died tragically. In Marvel's main continuity, Earth-616, Gwen was still Peter's girlfriend, but she is the one who died in one of Spider-Man's most memorable, and darkest, stories, «The Night Gwen Stacy Died.» In Amazing Spider-Man #121 and #122 — by Gerry Conway, Gil Kane, John Romita Sr., and Dave Hunt — the Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) recovers from the amnesia that made him forget Spider-Man's secret identity and kidnaps Gwen to lure Peter into a fight. During a brutal confrontation on top of the George Washington Bridge, Gwen falls off and Peter catches her with his web, but the sudden stop in momentum snaps her neck. This is one of the most debated moments among Spider-Man's fans, and certainly a defining one in the character's history.
