Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider Modern Era Epic Collection: Into The Gwenverse

Gwen Stacy makes her way to the Marvel Universe — and beyond!

With a cloud of infamy hanging over her head on Earth-65, Gwen travels to the Prime MU for super-hero action...and school! Gwen’s taking classes right down the hall from Peter Parker, but he isn’t the only person who may recognize her — and not everyone shares Spider-Man’s noble intentions. How will Ghost-Spider handle the return of the Jackal? Plus: Gwen takes the Mary Janes on a rip-roaring multiversal concert tour! And the travels don’t end there. She’s about to face a unique journey of self-discovery across time and space, finding super-heroic versions of herself across the Gwenverse that you’ll have to see to believe! But when the symbiote god Knull strikes, his gravity well of dark psychic energy has shocking consequences for Gwen and her bandmate Mary Jane Watson! The ensuing madness can only be described as Gwenom vs. Carnage!
