Finished reading Spider-Verse: Warzones! This follows a team of different versions of Spider-Man have found themselves within one of the domains of Battleworld. The book opens up with Gwen Stacy Spider-Woman stopping the Jackal for grave robbing while finding a gravestone with her name on it. Meanwhile at the docks Anya Corazon Spider-Girl and Billy Braddock Spider-Man are stopping a smuggling operation and are shortly joined by Pavitr Prabhaker Spider-Man who believes that all of them being in the same place may be a cause for alarm. While searching more about herself Gwen gets a job at Ozcorp where she finds Spider-Ham in the possession of Mayor Norman Osborn, who may have ulterior motives than just working with the Spider-Men. Overall this was a decent book as it spins off from the Spider-Verse event with a smaller group of heroes within the larger events of Secret Wars. There are some great laugh out loud moments coming from Spider-Ham who is the source of the majority of the comedic relief throughout the book. Gwen Stacy, Spider Woman gets a lot of character development in comparison to the rest of the heroes due to Gwen being at the forefront of the main story points of the book. However characters like Billy Braddock, Pavitr Prabhaker and the older Peter Parker are pushed into the background of the story and feel quite redundant towards the later half of the book while the domains main Peter Parker who appears after being in hiding for several years becomes a prominent character in the book. The art is good as the landscape of this domain's New York looks great thanks to the amount of detail that has been put in, while some of the character designs like this version of Venom look horrifying. 6.5/10.
