In ihrer Welt kämpft die junge Gwen Stacy als Spider-Woman für das Gute. Doch der kriminelle Kingpin Matt Murdock hat ein Druckmittel gegen sie. Also schickt er Gwen und die Ninjas der Hand nach Madripoor, um Harry Osborn zu jagen. Eine SHIELD-Agentin und der Kopfgeldjäger Logan haben jedoch dasselbe Ziel.

Kingpin Matt Murdock uses his leverage over Gwen to send her to take down Harry Osbourn's Lizard with a serum that will cause the Lizard contaminant to leave Harry's system but in the process create a sentient, parasitic goo that only Gwen can survive. As Gwen grapples with whether giving Harry the serum will actually save him from completely turning into the Lizard or if Murdock has some other plans up his sleeve, she must also protect Harry from SHIELD assassins Wolverine and Kitty Pryde.

A really solid story arc for Gwen and I enjoyed every second of it. Watching her grapple with which choice is the lesser of two evils is compelling stuff, seeing an alternate backstory for Wolverine is fun, and trying to figure out just what malevolent plan Murdock is orchestrating is fun reading. Plus the threat of Venom! ( )

This comic book covers issues #19-23. Where we left off Captain George Stacy was in jail for protecting Spider-Gwen and Gwen had made a deal with Matt Murdock, the Kingpin, to get boosters that would enable her to have her powers for short periods of time and he would work on getting her dad out of prison. For a price. She would have to work for him. Gwen also injected Harry with the suppressant for the Lizard mutagen in the hopes that it would cure him.

Murdock is pissed at Stacy because he is right where he wants to be--stoking the flames of the press in the hopes of creating a forum for him to clear Spider-Gwen's name because he knows they have nothing on him. He can't control Stacy and Stacy isn't playing according to his script.

But Murdock still has Gwen. He has Gwen meet him at Oscorp where Murdock and a scientist of his explain that the isotopes she uses as her powerups can be used to cure Harry of his Lizardness and then turned into a symbiote that could be injected into her and return her powers to her.

Murdock sends Spider-Gwen out to Madripoor where Harry is with the Hand ninjas as back up but doesn't tell her that S.H.I.E.L.D. has sent people to bring Harry back dead or alive so they can dissect him. Neither Harry nor Spider-Gwen trusts Murdock but his plan could fix both of their problems. Pretty soon, though, Harry might not have a voice as the Lizard takes over his body. What should Spider-Gwen do? Also included is a comic on the Mary Janes. This is a really great comic and shows that Gwen truly does want to be Spider-Gwen and what she is ready to do to be her. I highly recommend this book. ( )
