Warning! Potential spoilers for Gwen-Verse #1 by Marvel Comics
Marvel Comics is entering the Gwenverse in a big way, as a new miniseries will feature different variants of Gwen Stacy, who became other heroes across the Multiverse. On Wednesday, Marvel revealed Tim Seeley and Jodi Nishijima would take on Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse, a five-issue series featuring Spider-Gwen tumbling through time and meeting other heroic versions of herself.
Gwen Stacy, who originally was Peter Parker's love interest in classic Spider-Man stories, found a second life as a character after Marvel Comics introduced Spider-Gwen (now known as Ghost-Spider) as part of their Spider-Verse series. The character imagined what if Gwen Stacy was bit by a radioactive spider instead of Peter Parker. The hero was a hit for Marvel and has starred in her own series and crossovers and co-starred in the Academy Award-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse film, where Hailee Steinfeld voiced her.
The Mary Sue shared the news of a new Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse miniseries by Seeley and Nishijima, which will feature different Gwen's designed by superstar artist Peach Momoko. Check out the cover for the first issue from David Nakayama.

Here's the official synopsis for Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse.
When Gwen Stacy was bitten by a radioactive spider, she gained arachnid-like super-powers and started a crimefighting career as Spider-Woman (or as she’s affectionately known to her peers, Ghost-Spider)! But what would have happened if instead she had picked up the enchanted hammer, Mjolnir? Or if she received the Super-Soldier Serum? Or built a high-tech suit of armor? Or…you get the idea! Find out in this new five-issue miniseries as Ghost-Spider tumbles through time and comes face-to-face with herselves!
Many new versions of Gwen Stacy from across the Multiverse will appear in Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse, which arrives in comic book shops in February 2022. Meanwhile, the Gwen Stacy variant covers will arrive at the same time and will release throughout the month.
