I have little experience with the Spider-Man comics, if any my only knowledge has been gleaned from the films, Wikipedia article-skimming, and a novelization of, I'm given to understand, the Peter/Mary Jane plotline in the Ultimate comics. I was perhaps not the ideal reader for this volume. If you really want to know more about Gwen Stacy and her death's impact on Peter with much better depth then avoid this and instead check Spiderman : Blue (2003). Art is fine in this for its time but it's from 70s so not so comfortable for today's standard.

I really wish this comic could show more of the impact on Peter but I think that's all you can expect from a 19 years old writer lol. I think TASM2 movie handled this story so much better with more impact.

I wish Gwen has more appearance in it because she's only in one scene where Goblin kidnaps and then she appears in only end. He and Goblin fights until goblin throws Gwen from height and Spidey catches her leg with web but she dies because of shock? Then Spidey says some things to police in angry mode which is supposed to be sad but I found it so funny for some reason.ĭialogues are too cheesy and there are so many unnecessary footnotes and inner monologues of spiderman that doesn't add any depth but still it's easily readable book. Basically Goblin kidnaps Gwen and spidey who has cold and sneezing under his mask goes to save her. This is decent book and it's quit dated honestly. So this is one of the most essential event in Spiderman comics where Peter's first love Gwen Stacy dies.
