"<i>Spider-Gwen, Volume 2: Weapon of Choice</i> collects <i>Spider-Gwen</i> vol. 2, nos. 9-13 written by Jason Latour with art by Robbi Rodriguez and colors by Rico Renzi and Lauren Affe (on issue 10). This story follows the events of the <i>Spider-Women</i> crossover in which the Earth-65 Cindy Moon stole Gwen’s powers. She got the power-up device from Earth-65 Jesse Drew, but can only use it sparingly, which is a problem with Frank Castle coming after her and her father. The action builds to a head in this volume, though it’s primarily set-up and doesn’t really have a conclusion. Latour’s writing continues to entertain and Rodriguez’s art and Renzi’s colors make this one of the best-looking comics around. Great fun for fans of Spider-Gwen!"

SpiderGwen Vol 2 Weapon of Choice Jason Latour Robbi Rodriguez Books Reviews
- Spider Gwen is an incredibly good series. Volume 0 is amazing, and a must-read. Volume 1, when the regular series began, is good, but doesn't have the narrative flair and style of the miniseries that is collected in Volume 0. Volume 2 swings the other way (pun intended), with scattered plot points and erratic characters. This battle vs the Punisher is fairly unsatisfying. It just isn't a mature story.
There are lots of great moments and details, and the art is gorgeous (though once or twice some panels are visually incoherent). If the first two volumes got you addicted, you will enjoy this one. - As one of the their reviewers mentioned, this doesn't take place right after the last Spider-Gwen tpb so make sure you get the Spider Women tpb to fill in the gaps. There is a one page summary at the beginning of this volume but not enough to really explain it all plus the Spider Women tpb is quite enjoyable. Not as enjoyable as this though. Much better than the other tpbs of the series with a story that keeps progressing throughout the entire volume (outside of the Halloween short but hey mysterio!). The story is more about the Punisher going after Gwen with both Stark tech hand cannons and help from Kraven. The series dialogue is always on point and the art and colors are as vibrant and well done as ever. Hope the series continues pushing forward.
- Previously in Spider Gwen, Cindy-65 mananged to steal away her powers and tried to take an aresenal of weapons from Earth-616. Silk, Spider Woman and Spider Gwen stopped her with the help of Agent Jesse Drew who had been working with Cindy because he believed that she was keeping him alive with a cure. When he found out that he had been cured a long time ago he let them know where to find Cindy and helped bring her down and she is now in the custody of Earth-65's SHIELD. Jesse gave Spider Gwen some isotopes that will give her some spider powers if she injects them into herself. But she only has so many. Spider Woman tries to convince her to give up her life as Spider Gwen and live a normal life, but Gwen doesn't want to.
And in a way she can't. When the Mary Janes take her for a night on the town to try to cheer her up they wind up at the new Dollar Dog. A man decides to stick up the place and Gwen is thinking about using one of her isotopes when Detective Frank Castle walks in and takes care of the guy. He then zeroes in on Gwen and tells her he knows who she really is. Then he tosses her across the room. Gwen injects herself and picks Castle up and tosses him out the window. Now her friends are wondering if she is Spider Gwen.
Gwen heads to her dad's home after saving a pizza delivery guy from being robbed. She tells her father what has happened. He tells her that she is going to need her powers if Frank Castle is gunning for her. And she will. Castle is teamed up with Kraven the Hunter. Kraven used to be a part of Stark's bloodthirsty mercenaries known as WAR MACHINE. While in this capacity he met Frank Castle who was a soldier. A secret blood debt was made between the two men and now that Castle needs Kraven he is here to help him hunt down Spider Gwen. All manner of animals invade Captain Stacey's house. Gwen is unable to inject herself with an isotope. Aunt Mae from next door comes over to help and the three of them manage to fend off the animals. Kraven and Castle show up and Stacey knocks Castle out. Gwen knocks her dad out who is trying to get her to leave and trust the cops to do the right thing when Gwen knows they can't.
Gwen takes them to see Reed Richards to fix her isotope injector and finds out that one is missing. What will Kraven and Castle do with that isotope? Is there anyone Gwen can turn to for help or is she fighting this fight alone? The plot is fantastic and the dark blue and violent red colors go well with the dark storyline. Included is a comic that takes place on Halloween where Gwen and the Mary Janes go trick or treating and wind up at the haunted Carnival. Will the trick be on them? - <i>Spider-Gwen, Volume 2 Weapon of Choice</i> collects <i>Spider-Gwen</i> vol. 2, nos. 9-13 written by Jason Latour with art by Robbi Rodriguez and colors by Rico Renzi and Lauren Affe (on issue 10).

- This is volume 2, but the third book (counting volume 0). Thus far, the series has been a solid 3 stars for me - held back by the disjointed story and mediocre art. In this book, the story got more entertaining, but I still don't like the art and the character has been made less interesting by her new "power-ups" system. I would give this 3.5 stars, but since that's not an option, I am rounding to 4 stars.
- Volume one is issues 1-6, volume 2 is issues 9-13. Needless to say, I'm a little peeved. But I love Spider-Gwen (and Jason Latour), so I'm not going to rake this over the coals, even though I'd love to. I'm going to hope my local comic shop has issues 7 and 8. I'm not sure why this was done. I didn't check before I bought this, because I've never encountered a continuity problem with volumes. That itself deserves 1 star, but I rated the story not the publishers faulty planning.
The story itself is... disappointing. I'm probably a little biased, because I was initially very confused due to the missing issues. SPOILERS AHEAD BE WARNED. Volume 2 starts off with Gwen having lost her powers, seeking help from other spiders. I found myself wondering the whole time "How did she lose her powers? When are you going to tell me? I'm dying to know here." Well, I never found out! So I'm going to assume thats in issues 7 and 8. Or possibly another story line. Anyways, throughout the story they show The Punisher stalking Gwen. Which was eh. The fight they ended up having was eh. I wasn't fully into the whole story. Again, and I'm sorry to repeat myself, it's probably due to my confusion over her not having powers. I wanted that question to be answered before we went on to other battles.
