About the author

Hi! I'm Seanan McGuire, author of the Toby Daye series (Rosemary and Rue, A Local Habitation, An Artificial Night, Late Eclipses), as well as a lot of other things. I'm also Mira Grant (www.miragrant.com), author of Feed and Deadline.

Born and raised in Northern California, I fear weather and am remarkably laid-back about rattlesnakes. I watch too many horror movies, read too many comic books, and share my house with two monsters in feline form, Lilly and Alice (Siamese and Maine Coon).

I do not check this inbox. Please don't send me messages through Goodreads; they won't be answered. I don't want to have to delete this account. :(

Would have loved some more background before reading this but that's on me, it's partly a tie-in to another storyline. What didn't quite make sense to me is that it's two different main arcs (with some stuff in), but the second arc is seemingly unfinished?? Guess I'll have to read more...

Half of the comic is part of Spider-Geddon, which makes every chapter complete nonsense because the whole plot happens in Spider-Geddon and this comic only shows the chapters where Gwen appears. So you miss the entire storyline you don't understand a fucking thing.
... If it happens that you bought the physical comic (like me), you threw your money at a bunch of random stories that have lost the clue that held them together to make sense

So I want to make it clear to any random person reading this that I got and read the Spider-Geddon Omnibus through non-licit means—because if they sell me incomplete garbage, I'll just find the rest through other means :)

A nice quick read. It’s lucky I was obsessed with the Spiderverse movies, because otherwise I would have been very confused going into this. There’s a lot of info they seem to expect you to know about Spider-lore, which makes for a disorienting read. Still, Gwen is a great character, and that fact alone carries this collection. Hate how they portrayed my girl MJ, though.

Great fight scenes and I don’t have my much background with comics but I don’t need it.
