THE GHOST-SPIDER goes in new direction with space epic?

A new SPIDER-GWEN storyline will begin this March, with number 11 keeping the story in numeric continuity (no relaunch, whew). Written by the phenomenally talented Stephanie Phillips with art by Paolo Villanelli, this new storyline will take Gwen into space in a new saga called that will see Gwen team up with Loki.

“I envisioned a Gwen and Loki storyline from the beginning of my work on Gwen, so this arc feels like the culmination of everything we’ve been building toward,” said Phillips in a statement from Marvel. “Taking Gwen to space has allowed us to explore some unexpected elements of her character, especially as her optimism and hope clashes with King Loki’s nihilism. Paolo and I have worked hard to make this a unique sci-fi adventure—one that’s dark and very personal to Gwen.”

Kicking off in SPIDER-GWEN: THE GHOST-SPIDER #11, the thrilling saga sees Gwen take off on grand quest into the Marvel cosmos! There, she’ll come across unimaginable power and the only thing stopping her from using it to fix all her life’s problems is Loki!

GHOST-SPIDER BEYOND!

Gwen has something King Loki wants, and she’ll do everything in her power to keep it from him. The god of lies and deception knows his strength lies in words over brute force, so he intends to convince Gwen to give up the artifact willingly. It’s the most unlikely team-up ever as Ghost-Spider and King Loki embark on an intergalactic adventure for the ages!
