Marvel Comics has announced that the solo series of Gwen Stacy from the screenwriter Christos Gage and the cartoonist Todd Nauck that had been canceled, will receive an epic conclusion in a new special titled Giant-Size Gwen Stacy.
The comic will be released in August, and will be a compilation of the first two issues of the original series along with three new issues that will wrap up Stacy’s story.
Gwen and Peter may not have met until The Amazing Spider-Man #31, but that doesn’t mean Gwen’s life began on those pages. She knows Gwen Stacy, beauty queen of Standard High, sure, but much more. Science whiz Gwen Stacy (you wouldn’t believe she landed in Peter’s advanced science classes at ESU because of her good looks, would you?) has an indomitable spirit that, much to the chagrin of her father, the Police Captain, the get into serious trouble. This story within continuity will see Gwen confront a conspiracy spanning the entire Marvel Universe, cross paths with dangerous Marvel villains, and team up with the original X-Men.
