NYCC '14: Gwen Stacy "Spider-Woman" to get her own ongoing series~!

The main Spider-Verse storyline hasn't officially kicked off yet, and now Spider-Man fans are getting what is possibly one of the best things to come out of it as a brand new ongoing series in the future~!!!

In a report from Newsarama that's straight out of big news from Marvel's "Retail Exclusive: Meet Marvel" panel at this year's New York Comic Con, it was just announced that the Spider-Woman incarnation of Gwen Stacy that first appeared in the pages of "Edge of Spider-Verse #2" is getting her own ongoing series~!!! The issue, which sold out faster than anyone could ever expect, features an alternate world where Ms. Stacy was the one who was bitten by a radioactive spider, setting a course for her to be the web-slinging wonder girl that assumes the "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" mission that normally falls to Peter Parker. That issue, written by Jason Latour and illustrated by Robbi Rodriguez, is going back to press for a second printing... And NOW the character is getting her own ongoing series!

Rejoice Spider-Gwen fans! The new Spiderverse character is coming to her own title very soon!

Edge of Spider-Verse miniseries shows "What IF Gwen Stacy was Spider-Woman"?

Spider-Verse, Marvel's upcoming and epic Spider-Man event, comes in November... And The House of Ideas teases a lot of potential things to come... Starting with the reveal of the tie-in "Edge of Spider-Verse" miniseries... Which not only focuses on the alternate versions of Peter Parker we know or have yet to know... But as well as a Spider-Woman who is... Gwen Stacy?!

That's right, issue #2 of the solicitations for the five issue miniseries starting in September shows Peter's first love BECOME the hero instead, having been instead bitten by the same radioactive spider that would have given Parker his Amazing abilities, and this all happens in another alternate world. Spider-Verse will crossover to many multiple universes in Marvel, so this isn't something shocking... But more Spectacular!

The Amazing Spider-Man: Mary Jane won't appear in ASM2; Two more sequels dated for 2016 and 2018

Looks like fans of looking forward to Mary Jane Watson's debut in Marc Webb's Spider-Man film reboot universe will have to wait a little longer, as the character has been confirmed to not appear in next year's upcoming sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

In a report by Superherohype coming from an interview conducted by Entertainment Weekly with MJ actress Shailene Woodley, the filmmakers have decided to cut scenes involving Peter Parker's other love interest from the 2014 film, instead reserving her appearance for the third and fourth Spidey films, which were already given the go ahead and confirmed for a 2016 and 2018 respectively.

Spider-Man Reboot Update: Emma Stone gives an update on her role as Gwen Stacy

Anyone familiar with the Spider-Man mythos knows Gwen Stacy. She was Peter Parker's first true love, and because of the relationship she shared with him, she was destined to be put in harm's way, eventually ending up dead during a battle between Spider-Man and his archnemesis, The Green Goblin (aka Norman Osborn). The character was taken out and supplanted by Mary Jane Watson in the first two Sam Raimi films (only for her to be introduced in the third film), but the new reboot to be helmed by Marc Webb puts the blondie back in the spotlight as the main love interest, with actress Emma Stone playing the coveted role opposite Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker. However, the big question in most fans minds was this: Would Gwen's tragic tale of death be told in the first film? SPOILERS AHEAD after the pic:

The answer is a simple NO. Via a post in io9 and during an interview in The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Stone says during a conversation that she may be sticking around in the long run for a few more Spidey films, suggesting that there are more tales to be told before a possible "death" story ever gets considered. That's probably a good thing, considering that Mary Jane has gotten more exposure as Spidey's love interest and one time wife. It's still a long way til 2012 for the reboot gives viewers a chance to check out Stone's performance as Gwen, but here's hoping we see something good and promising when the time comes.

Spider-Man Reboot Update: No Mary Jane Watson, Hello Gwen Stacy!

Rumors are abound in several movie news sites that Peter Parker's main squeeze and once future wife Mary Jane Watson may not be in Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot. Instead, website The Wrap reports that the webslinger's other love interest, Gwen Stacy, will be the only female lead focused on in the new movie. This is not new news, considering that there already was a rumor before that Ms. Watson won't be appearing, and actress Emma Stone was cast as Ms. Stacy, thereby confirming MJ's no show in the new flick and no romantic tensions for Peter to worry about.

Personally, I think it's great that Gwen will be the focus of Peter's affections this time, since the character was so underused in Spider-Man 3 and wasn't given the fair treatment the character deserves. She's just as important a love interest as Mary Jane was to Peter, and I think it will fit right well, especially with the reboot being set back in High School and reintroducing Parker (played by Andrew Garfield) back in his developmental years. It's still all rumors at this point, but for more on the story, check out the source article at Screen Rant!
