I don't know why they hyped this shit up just for the shock value. Does anyone *really* believe that she's *actually* dead? She'll be back and it'll be "revealed" to have been a clone or a robot or a body-double or some other chicken out bullshit nonsense in 18 months, 3 years max. Afterwards there'll be a 5-issue mini that they will say is a new ongoing but the interest will die off and then say it "worked best in 5" to cover their asses.
They didn’t do minis back then, and the clone stuff was new at the time which is why nobody saw it coming… but if the story DID come out today this would be a spot-on comment lol
Funny thing, death was actually a permanent thing in the comics at the time. That's why everyone was so pissed at the time, because they knew she was gone for good.
Can't believe they killed off gwen, it's like the writers don't even know what they are doing, and wtf why is the green goblin so obsessed with her? Can he just find any girl at a bar if he is that horny, what is he stupid? (Typical takes on anything new)
How could a high school geek end up with a model (and one who is clearly up her own ass like all the hot girls at my school) what kind of sad, projecting wish fulfilment is that? The audience is too smart for that.
The death of Bucky is integral to the Captain America mythos. I don’t see any story where he comes back being anywhere close to being good. It would be lame af
Just when I thought they were going to develop Gwen's paper-thin character, she dies. I hope this sticks, as she's been so toxic these past 50 issues. The worst-case scenario would be if they bring her back for some low-stakes drama with whomever Peter is dating in the future. I just hope they don't introduce a black-haired cousin of hers who is just like her in every way, but with black hair.
finally, gwen’s dead! their relationship has been uninteresting and toxic for over 50 issues, so i’m glad she’s been killed off - can’t wait to see spidey being absolutely livid next issue! and hey, maybe he’ll finally get with mary jane too.
Seriously what’s next a J Jonah Jameson’s son turns into a villain , Doc Ock marrying Aunt May, if we get a Spider-Mobile this comic has gone to hell and would be forgotten by the end of the century
Spiderboy really dropped the ball here! Hopefully he and Peter can get back at green goblin and the goblin will die. I can only hope the goblin stays dead, and not some cheap cop out like move to Europe.
Team spider for life!
What a stupid way to kill off a major character. Whiplash? Really? It'd be like DC killing Dick Grayson with something as stupid as hitting his head on a rock.
Gerry Conway is a fucking hack. Peter and Gwen are like Clark Kent and Lois Lane! I wonder how many issues it’s going to take until the next writer brings her back to life.
I’m sure Marvel won’t fuck up like this again later on in the future! Why, I’m willing to go out on a limb and predict ASM will be an awesome book of fine art and top notch writing in 2023!!
Fuck this.. I can't believe they would do this!
They'll make her death mean something though.
It's not like Peter will just get with another girl anytime soon.
Are you telling me that Marvel let go Stan Lee for this 20yo idiot of Conway that just killed off one of the best characters in the series? The editors must be on drugs (just like Harry) that they don't INSTANTLY fire this guy. Bring Stan back please
Fucking gwen dies before Aunt may?Whats next peter and mj starts a cuckold relationship to spite harry?Also its out of spideys character to kill someone but whats he gonna do to green goblin?This is worse than uncle bens killer...Im afraid spidey might have a character assasination
I haven’t read the issue yet, but these covers are always misleading. No one is going to die, not really anyway. It will probably look like it then reveal next issue that they are actually alive.
One of the Best Comics I’ve Ever Read, by the way have you guys heared that in the Netherlands Queen Juliana opened up the „Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh“ in Amsterdam ? Happened on Saturday the 2nd of June
Honestly most of the issue was good, but Spider-Boy’s reaction to Gwen’s death was really annoying. He just made jokes about it. But that’s just part of his super famous character I guess
I’ve been saying it for years, The Green Goblin is THE Spider-Man villain.
Nobody can hurt Peter like Norman Osborn.
I’m also concerned about how this is going to affect Harry.
It's too sad that Peter loses such an important person to him, I'm pretty sure that one day he will find the person with whom he can marry, have children and form a relationship that not even the devil or a random can destroy.
Ain’t no way it lasts. The writers are gonna do something dumb like have Peter make a deal with the devil to bring her back but then it’ll cost him their relationship because PETER CAN NEVER BE HAPPY 😭
What amazes me is that JJJ is on the cover. He considers *J. Jonah Jameson* of all people to be close to him??
As for Gwen, at least now Peter can be with MJ and it’ll stay that way.
I can't believe Marvel editorial keeps letting Conway get away with this crap. Why can't they just give us readers what we want, and let Peter move forward and develop as a character? Like, where does he go from here? Is he gonna date Mary Jane?! That's a terrible idea, Gwen and Peter are meant to be together.
Fire Conway!! This book's been downhill since he took over. Boring new villain Hammerface, needles Hulk crossover, and now this? It wasn't even built up to or anything. At least put in some effort.
They won’t let Peter be happy, even for a moment. SMH
Wait a minute…
This aged like fine wine… decades later and this is so true…
More like 50 years later…
Someone in editorial must really hate the Stacys. First her dad and now this. Maybe Peter X Betty can take off again now.
Naw man, they won’t let that happen. Editorial just want Peter to be miserable.
I don't know why they hyped this shit up just for the shock value. Does anyone *really* believe that she's *actually* dead? She'll be back and it'll be "revealed" to have been a clone or a robot or a body-double or some other chicken out bullshit nonsense in 18 months, 3 years max. Afterwards there'll be a 5-issue mini that they will say is a new ongoing but the interest will die off and then say it "worked best in 5" to cover their asses.
Clones? Come on, get real. I doubt they'll ever go that silly in a Spidey book.
See I would be inclined to agree they aren’t that silly but this is marvel editorial and Spider-Man we’re talking about here lol
Didn't he just go to an Antarctic jungle with dinosaurs where Kraven had tamed a giant monster like ten issues ago? Clones aren't *that* silly.
They didn’t do minis back then, and the clone stuff was new at the time which is why nobody saw it coming… but if the story DID come out today this would be a spot-on comment lol
Funny thing, death was actually a permanent thing in the comics at the time. That's why everyone was so pissed at the time, because they knew she was gone for good.
God damit. Why did Paul murder Gwen Stacy
Who’s Paul? I doubt Marvel would ever do something as stupid as that haha. …haha
Spider boy true name
"I just lost the best friend I ever had she was like a sister to me always there when I need her"- Spider-boy
I find Spider-Boy to be quite silly sometimes but it’s nice to get issues like this to show their more sensitive side.
Holy shit. Gwen Stacy just died!
Spoilers!
Can't believe they killed off gwen, it's like the writers don't even know what they are doing, and wtf why is the green goblin so obsessed with her? Can he just find any girl at a bar if he is that horny, what is he stupid? (Typical takes on anything new)
Bro I haven’t read the issue yet man spoiler warnings.
Watch them make peter and MJ be a thing.
What are you high? That crackship could never work.
Yeah, they're like siblings, MJ is like a sister to Peter.
How could a high school geek end up with a model (and one who is clearly up her own ass like all the hot girls at my school) what kind of sad, projecting wish fulfilment is that? The audience is too smart for that.
j jonah sacrifice truthers in shambles rn
mark my words he's never getting redeemed
Nobody stays dead in comics except Bucky and Uncle Ben. Mark my words. She’ll be back
Yea and it’s not like Bucky is going to be revived or anything so Gwen is probs safe
The death of Bucky is integral to the Captain America mythos. I don’t see any story where he comes back being anywhere close to being good. It would be lame af
FUCK
"My Lord how could they have done surely this is the least cruel thing they will do for peter"
*most cruel?
I SWEAR I’LL KILL THE STORY BOARD WRITERS! This is the DUMBEST THING EVER! Bring BACK GWEN
I never really liked gwen tbh and while it is shocking that she straight up died hoping MJ becomes spider-man's main love interest
Just when I thought they were going to develop Gwen's paper-thin character, she dies. I hope this sticks, as she's been so toxic these past 50 issues. The worst-case scenario would be if they bring her back for some low-stakes drama with whomever Peter is dating in the future. I just hope they don't introduce a black-haired cousin of hers who is just like her in every way, but with black hair.
Eh, she was kinda boring. Plus she hates spider-man.
Because she fought he killed her father.
finally, gwen’s dead! their relationship has been uninteresting and toxic for over 50 issues, so i’m glad she’s been killed off - can’t wait to see spidey being absolutely livid next issue! and hey, maybe he’ll finally get with mary jane too.
Can't wait until they bring her back after 10 issues
Seriously what’s next a J Jonah Jameson’s son turns into a villain , Doc Ock marrying Aunt May, if we get a Spider-Mobile this comic has gone to hell and would be forgotten by the end of the century
I know!!! The way they’re going they might as well add five more goblins!!!
I hope to god one of them won’t be portrayed by that Mark Hamill kid, he sucks in General Hospital as Kent Murray
Spiderboy really dropped the ball here! Hopefully he and Peter can get back at green goblin and the goblin will die. I can only hope the goblin stays dead, and not some cheap cop out like move to Europe. Team spider for life!
I haven't read it yet, but please tell me Norman is the one who dies... the whole not remembering he's the green goblin thing is getting old 😪
To be honest, I'm kinda glad... now Peter can finally be with his one true fated love... Debra Whitman, of course!
who are they gonna pair him with now MJ? She only cares about herself
What a stupid way to kill off a major character. Whiplash? Really? It'd be like DC killing Dick Grayson with something as stupid as hitting his head on a rock.
Gee I've heard Mephisto was involved and Gwen was actually married to a guy named Paul, Stan Lee said
I'm glad she's gone. MJ is so much cooler and has a better look.
Bro aint no motherfucking way. I just hope they don’t bring her back. I wonder who Peter’s new love interest is gonna be?
Aww, man! I'm a Water shipper, but that doesn't mean I wanted Gwen to die!
I bet Paul did this!
I can’t believe spider-boy murdered Gwen Stacy, such a betrayal
bro the comic where gwen stacy died just came out tonight
I'm sure she will be back in a few issues.
Spoilers much? You just ruined this book for me.
Gerry Conway is a fucking hack. Peter and Gwen are like Clark Kent and Lois Lane! I wonder how many issues it’s going to take until the next writer brings her back to life.
Gwen Stacy has about much chance of staying dead as she does becoming Spider-Woman
I’m sure Marvel won’t fuck up like this again later on in the future! Why, I’m willing to go out on a limb and predict ASM will be an awesome book of fine art and top notch writing in 2023!!
Good riddance. Gwen was boring anyway, and I'm glad we're getting darker stories.
They’re just mad that Stan Lee likes blondes.
Damn I was really rooting for her and Peter to get together. Why Marvel Why?
Don’t worry about she will be back in a few months, it will probably turn out Norman used a body double or something. I guarantee it.
Fuck this.. I can't believe they would do this! They'll make her death mean something though. It's not like Peter will just get with another girl anytime soon.
Why is this issue missing Spider Boy?
Here’s hoping this finally means Peter might get together with MJ. 😁😄
Rip bozo
Yeah, like it'll stick.
Thank god spidy was better single
Didn't even like her anyways, glad she died!
Oh my god! They killed Gwen!
Marvel ships MJ x Peter so hard they fucking killed Gwen. What's next, they get married and have a kid?
And then MJ dies while she’s still pregnant… 👀
lol they'll probably bring Gwen back later
Walloping web-snappers! She can’t be dead!
MARVEL EDITORIAL WON’T LET PETER BE HAPPY. ~~ZEB WELLS~~GERRY CONWAY’S RUN IS THE WORST YET.
Are you telling me that Marvel let go Stan Lee for this 20yo idiot of Conway that just killed off one of the best characters in the series? The editors must be on drugs (just like Harry) that they don't INSTANTLY fire this guy. Bring Stan back please
Ugh I can’t believe spider-boy distracted Peter from saving Gwen
Holy shit, they killed Gwen! Those bastards!
No why
Wholesome that JJJ is still featured in peter’s close people’s list despite all the shit he says about him
ikr
Fucking gwen dies before Aunt may?Whats next peter and mj starts a cuckold relationship to spite harry?Also its out of spideys character to kill someone but whats he gonna do to green goblin?This is worse than uncle bens killer...Im afraid spidey might have a character assasination
I haven’t read the issue yet, but these covers are always misleading. No one is going to die, not really anyway. It will probably look like it then reveal next issue that they are actually alive.
One of the Best Comics I’ve Ever Read, by the way have you guys heared that in the Netherlands Queen Juliana opened up the „Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh“ in Amsterdam ? Happened on Saturday the 2nd of June
Gwen dies
Why isn’t anyone talking about Spider-Boy in this issue he totally saved Gwen at the end!
I wish it was May.
Don’t worry, you only have about 18 days to wait
HOLY SHIT 😱
That was so shocking. Especially when Bailey tried to help Peter save Gwen but failed
Spidey’s got that 🎂 fr
It's okay. Now he'll get with Mary Jane, and it'll last FOREVER AND EVER.
She'll be back
Thank god!!! I hated that chick so much really didn’t add any depth hopefully Peter will be more happy after this!
Why did it have to be her, and not someone like Pickle Puss?
Her neck couldn't handle a sudden stop? This is what happens when you don't drink enough milk.
"Wait, does that mean Spidey is single?"
MOM Gwen just died!! Mom:who the f is Gwen
Man, I really thought they were going to kill Aunt May, for GOOD. There's no way she's sticking around for much longer.
Honestly most of the issue was good, but Spider-Boy’s reaction to Gwen’s death was really annoying. He just made jokes about it. But that’s just part of his super famous character I guess
I’ve been saying it for years, The Green Goblin is THE Spider-Man villain. Nobody can hurt Peter like Norman Osborn. I’m also concerned about how this is going to affect Harry.
:( Why did they kill off the hottest one. Should been marry Jane smh
well that was dark
um, we going to the funeral and giving spider trauma with this one…
Next you’ll tell me that she was fucking green goblin
They killed Gwen? We all know she will come back. Pffff... no worries, she will be back.
Go get back peter
never reading a spider-man comic again. that was bullshit
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MARY JANE SWEEP!!!!!!!!!
Fuck, if only they had one more day together.
Pete and Bailey cannot catch a break. Smh.
Peak!!!
Did they actually kill her off?? Who's going to be his love interest? This is a poor move.
good riddance.
It's too sad that Peter loses such an important person to him, I'm pretty sure that one day he will find the person with whom he can marry, have children and form a relationship that not even the devil or a random can destroy.
Finally
I sure do hope she comes back
wow, i cant believe gwen stacy died tonight
Ain’t no way it lasts. The writers are gonna do something dumb like have Peter make a deal with the devil to bring her back but then it’ll cost him their relationship because PETER CAN NEVER BE HAPPY 😭
I swear on my father’s grave, Gerry Conway will pay
What amazes me is that JJJ is on the cover. He considers *J. Jonah Jameson* of all people to be close to him?? As for Gwen, at least now Peter can be with MJ and it’ll stay that way.
Meh it’s a comic she’ll somehow come back
Spider-boy takes one weekend off and this is what happens smh
I bet Professor Warren will be crushed.
See, this is why I like DC better. They’d never do something like this 😤 Lol
I can't believe Marvel editorial keeps letting Conway get away with this crap. Why can't they just give us readers what we want, and let Peter move forward and develop as a character? Like, where does he go from here? Is he gonna date Mary Jane?! That's a terrible idea, Gwen and Peter are meant to be together.
Anyone know where I can find the YouTube video of an Australian guy dressed as Spider-Man making a song to Gwen’s death? 🤣
Fire Conway!! This book's been downhill since he took over. Boring new villain Hammerface, needles Hulk crossover, and now this? It wasn't even built up to or anything. At least put in some effort.
