Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider, Vol. 2: Impossible Year by Seanan McGuire

"You blew your secret identity. You went to prison. On purpose. You don't get to go back to school. Even when you're not wearing a mask, you're still a super hero. You're still on the outside. You don't get to be normal. All you get to be is special. Forever."

Thoughts: I was hoping this volume would feel more complete than Spider-Geddon, plot-wise, and it doesn't disappoint. There's a much more complete story here, and Gwen grapples with a new threat to her city and her secret identity being public knowledge. It's a good arc for her as she struggles with people recognizing her as Gwen Stacy everywhere she goes and the threats that brings down on her friends and family. Her relationships with her dad, her band, Spider-Man, and Harry Osborn all get decent page-time and development.

By comparison, the overall threat is a little lackluster, but I'm not really reading these for the knock-down, drag-out fight scenes. It's a reasonable threat given Gwen's age and power level, and not everything has to be apocalyptic. As always, I enjoy her sassy humor alongside her internal struggles, as well as the gorgeous color palette for these comics. I'll be looking forward to reading more of McGuire's take on the character, and I'll probably go back and read the Latour run eventually.
