Finished reading Spider-Gwen: Greater Power, restarting the series after the events of Secret Wars, Gwen Stacey, the Spider Woman of Earth-65 adventures continue as the newest treat that she has to face has ties to her past. The book opens up with Gwen being late for work only to discover that her workplace was ransacked by a lizard monster which also took small time criminal, the Bodega Bandit's dog, which gives Gwen a lead where see ends up in the sewers face to face with this worlds version of Captain America. After defeating a horde of Lizard monsters and getting some advice from Spider Woman in the main Marvel universe who also helps Gwen out of handcuffs that Captain America put her in, Gwen heads to a lake house where her band mates have gone to where the girls meet with Harry Osborn who has not been seen since the death of Peter Parker as Harry tells Gwen that the reason for his return is to get revenge on Spider Woman for not being able to save Peter. Overall this was a good book as writer Jason Latour continues to build upon Spider-Gwen's world with the introduction of this universe's version of Captain America and S.H.I.E.L.D is extremely interesting. While the use of Harry Osborn as the book's main villain is great as it allows the book to dive more into the Gwen's past at school and the events that lead to the death of this world's Peter Parker, and also allow for quite personal stakes within the book. The art by artist Robbi Rodriguez continues to greatly accompany the Spider-Gwen's story with the same aesthetic that has been apart of the world since the beginning. The additional art by Chris Visions continues to capture a similar look and feel but feels a little too crowded an out of place within the book. 7/10.
