Spider-Gwen: The Radioactive Spider-Woman [Marvel Compact]

Gwen Stacy is the Spider-Woman of Earth-65! Fan-favorite creative team Jason Latour and Robbi Rodriguez reveal Spider-Gwen's amazing origin story and continue her adventures in her own world - where she was bitten by the radioactive spider, not Peter Parker! On the most tragic day of her life, Gwen was convinced that the Lizard died in her arms along with Peter. But a new reptilian rampage leaves her in doubt - not only about Peter's life, but also his death. And Gwen's troubles pile up as the Osborns of Earth-65 make their debut, and she finds herself on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most wanted list! Perhaps the Spider-Woman of Earth-616, Jessica Drew, could impart some lessons about power and responsibility! Plus: Gwen shares adventures with Captain America, She-Hulk, Spider-Ham and her new body-swapping bud, the All-New Wolverine!
