GHOST-SPIDER vs GWEN GOBLIN - Discussion thread (spoilers allowed)

I really liked this one. The art style was good and the story concept was executed really well. I've honestly felt that a lot of past releases felt too "cramped", with way too many elements jammed into a limited page-count. This story skipped most of the setup, went straight to the relevant action, and resisted the urge to cram another Peter/MJ/Gwen scene at the end that would not have gotten enough page space to be fleshed out.

This was...okay I guess. Honestly this month and last month's release I didn't think much of. I just didn't care for them like I have with most of the other comics done in the past.

As a piece of recontextualisation this demands some analysis. As a pure adaptation this is phenomenally outside understanding, anyone looking for a pure sapphic Gwen/MJ story has finally gotten it albeit with a context outside any formal thread ever sewn before very recently. Anyone looking for this fetish on their future order form better research, and I'd imagine anyone choosing a comic featuring the Green Goblin and the word VERSUS will be utterly bewildered. The first Tracyverse story featuring a staring role for any Goblin is not what the checker expects. Likewise any reader looking for a Gwen/MJ story on a list of comics isn't liable to peg this one either, but it's the first problem that is a bigger issue. To make a Straussian reading on the cover we have the Raimi Spider-man kiss in the rain with Goblin replacing Spidey. In the background the word Oscorp is emblazoned with a confused Spider-Gwen onlooking. If the events of the film played out beforehand we see what appears to be MJ kissing her savior after an attack by rapists. Gwen in this case is the hero racing to save an innocent bystander, only to find salvation has arrived. Discounting that this scene occurred earlier in the film, consider the Green Goblin eyefucked her at Thanksgiving, advised Harry to broom her fast, and was later described as actually loving Peter by his son this takes on an entirely new reading. In this light the attack seems to be a conspiracy by Goblin to bed the treasure of both nemesis and son, there is even a giant Oscorp sign literally flashing, furthering this implication. Not that this wouldn't be an interesting area to explore, especially since Spidey's rogue gallery is one area mostly underutilized.

Ghost Spider is a weird damn book. By issue 1's ending she entered a new, and largely pointless, universe for a two-issue break that forms the basis of this parody. By the end of the third issue it was a metacommentary on how confusedly it was written, especially how Gwen didn't know she was Spider-Woman or not. I imagine Tracy would have made a Gwen-Goblin joke if the actual book didn't make this parody itself. In this universe Gwen's Glider has turned her evil, Harry is a dead Spider-Man and Pete is something of a Rick Jones archetype. Fortunately most of that, even the phasing costume of Ghost Spider, is dispensed in favor of exploring the most intriguing element, the romantic two girl friendship between MJ and Gwen. And its nearly perfect, certainly the year's best book if maybe a top ten all time. Certainly Spider-Gwen getting a Gwemjay BJ (shout out to RaidersotSV) plus salad toss was a very unexpected twist. MJ is much more open sexually, even in flashback she is a huge initiator, and the feels flow. She is the spice to Gwen-Goblin's sugar, a perfect pair. Even the art is better than the actual Marvel volume it parodies in a bizarro world revelation to my eyes. The only in text criticism I can make is Pete added not much, it made Ghost reflect on their lost love in her universe but with so many Petes and interactions it probably didn't need over a quarter of this book. It was a tired greatest hit in midst of the hottest concert on the block. Now as to metatextual readings....

more gwencest, whatever it takes.

im just a pigeon

Wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to this one.

Excellent story. And the character interactions. There was great passion, romance, and nuance for the inter-personal connections between MJ/GWEN/PeterPowerless. I would say that now the 'Gwencest' is DEFINATELY a hawt category in the Tracyverse. Great fap fuel - 9/10

Nicely done on the story and the lines and coloring were well done.
