Spider-Gwen, Volume 0: Most Wanted? is a title I bought for two reasons. Spider-Gwen was the breakout character of the SpiderVerse storyline, which I've read some of, and Jason Latour is writing it. Gwen Stacey is the daughter of Police Chief George Stacey who in another universe lives with Peter Parker and Aunt May. In this universe, Peter Parker is dead, and Gwen Stacey was bitten by a radioactive spider. She has a cool white-and-red outfit and a rock n' roll pedigree. She plays with the band The Mary Janes as the drummer.
This title has energy; it's good. Frank Castle is a hard boiled cop, and Matt Murdock is an evil mob lawyer for Kingpin. I first became a fan of Jason Latour when I started reading Southern Bastards a little over a year ago. Marvel has done a great job co-opting the top independent/Image talent and putting them to work on fresh, new titles, to the point that I actually read more Marvel than Image right now.
