New York! Chicago! Los Angeles! It’s almost time to join the Gwen Stacy ofEarth-65as she goes on a road-trip with her band, The Mary Janes. She’s managed a whole two weeks of showing up to practice on time without being distracted by her second life as the Ghost-Spider - better known asSpider-Gwen- but as you’ll see in our exclusive preview of Spider-Gwen: Smash #1 below, a wannabe supervillain may be about to throw a spanner in the works.
Spider-Gwen: Smash is a new four-issue miniseries from writer Melissa Flores and artist Enid Balám. The first issue, which publishes next week, sees Gwen caught on camera blasting a vlogger with her web-shooters. We’re promised a new city location in each issue, as well as appearances from Dreamer and the Hulk in what’s shaping up to be a really fun series.
Check out our preview of the first issue in the gallery below.
Marvel’s official synopsis for the issue reads:
“TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC! 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. Featuring new versions of some of your favorite characters!”
Spider-Gwen: Smash #1 is published by Marvel on December 13.
