Gwenpool Omnibus [New Printing]

Gwenpool makes hers Marvel as the 21st century’s most unbelievable super sensation!

Superfan becomes super hero! Gwen Poole was an avid comic-book reader — until she found herself transported into the Marvel Universe! Now, surrounded by characters she knows everything about — including their secret identities! — and fully aware of the tropes of super-hero storytelling, Gwen is determined not to be an “extra” in this brave new world. But her attention-seeking journey from mercenary to Avenger (okay, West Coast, but still…) is complicated when she learns how to manipulate the comic books she herself appears in! As her continuity dramas get ever more convoluted, will Gwen go big…or go home?
