Spider-Gwen, Issue #16 is Part 2 of the "Sittin' in a Tree" crossover event, the first one being Spider-Man, Issue #12. The general story is that Miles Morales's father went missing between dimensions, and Miles Morales as Spider-Man followed him to Spider-Gwen's dimension (Earth-65), where they met and kissed. In this issue, I haven't read much of Spider-Gwen, but here's the skinny: Matt Murdoch isn't Daredevil in her universe; he's a bad guy, and he supplies Gwen with "power ups" to let her be Spider-Woman.
I don't know if I'm going to continue reading Spider-Gwen on a monthly basis. I do dig the comic, its writing, and its art - I even read one of the trade paperbacks - but damn, there's so much to read these days. Also, most people read Earth-616-based comics. It's great the way Doctor Octopus and the other New York based heroes and villains are echoed in Earth-65, but it takes a while to get used to them. I don't know; I was leaning toward not reading Spider-Gwen after this crossover event before reading this issue, but I'm kinda' leaning toward reading more of it after reading it.
