Gwen Stacy of Earth-65 won over Marvel fans far and wide almost immediately, thanks to her spunky attitude and show stopping costume design courtesy of artist Robbi Rodriguez. So of course, fans demanded a series dedicated to her, and Marvel were all too happy to oblige.

What resulted was one of the most fascinating alternate Marvel universes ever made.

From Daredevil being a villain working for the Kingpin, to Frank Castle being the chief of the NYPD, to Captain America not being Steve Rogers, the world conjured by Jason Latour and Rodriguez is something to behold.

In the middle of all of it is Gwen, who's just been framed for the murder of her best friend, Peter Parker. Resulting in all of those people we just listed gunning for her immediately. This was an awesome inaugural tale to introduce us to an amazing Marvel universe, and one of their best new characters.
