Spider-Gwen: Predators Review

Finished reading Spider-Gwen: Predators, writer Jason Latour continues Gwen Stacy's adventures as the Spider-Woman of Earth-65 as she travels to Madripoor with the hopes to help Harry Osborn only to come into conflict with some surprising characters. The book opens with Harry Osborn finding himself on the run in Madripoor while trying to get a hold on Gwen on the phone back in Manhattan as she's dealing with being in debt to Matt Murdock, this universes Kingpin after asking him for help to be her father's lawyer, as George Stacy is currently in lock up. After leaving a meeting with her father Murdock gets Gwen to meet with him at Oscorp as Matt has come to see Norman Osborn about the current situation with his son, Harry and after showing that he has a cure for the lizard serum that Harry currently has in his blood stream, Matt sends Gwen to Madripoor to bring Harry back home. However Gwen soon discovers that she isn't the only one trying to find Harry as she soon finds herself meeting this universe's version of Wolverine how is trying to collect a bounty that has been taking out on Harry. The second story in the book cowritten by Hannah Blumenreich shifts the focus onto Gwen's band members, the Mary Janes as they head to a show without Gwen with MJ is trying to convince Glory to stay in the band. Overall this was a great book as it continues Gwen's story by bring Harry Osborn back into the book which allows of the introduction Wolverine and Shadowcat into this universe which writer Jason Latour is able to give both characters there own unique history and origin that is great thanks to the way the origins give enough detail to the characters while also giving them some differences to the classics versions that become very intriguing. The book also does as great job in developing some of the series supporting cast as the secondary story of what's happening with George Stacy and his pending trial continues to be an interesting story with how it affects Gwen and her relationship with Matt Murdock. While the story of the Mary Janes is able to shift the spotlight onto Gwen's friends and band members allowing for them to become more developed while also showing how Gwen being Spider-Woman is effecting the band. The art throughout the book is great as this universe's aesthetic continues to visually stunning thinks to the character designs and interacts along with the location designs to the colour palette thats used with has some great focus on the night life of Manhattan and Madripoor. While the fight scenes are amazingly design especially with the addition of this universe's Wolverine and Shadowcat as each of the two's skills and abilities are brought to life almost breathtakingly. 8/10.
