CALL THE MODS! IT'S GWENPOOL!

Cute, morally ambiguous Gwenpool vs. Sexy, evil Gwenpool from the future!

Reminder that you're fapping to a SJW's self-insert.

And I just ate all my peanuts.

Even if he were gender dysphoric, that's not a self-insert.

Now that evil, sexy Gwen from the future is in Gwenpool #20, she's starting to have problems. Namely, she can tell that the writers are already starting to retcon her and now she's forgetting how to use her powers.

Oh, and she knows she can't kill Mileserman. Too much brand recognition.

Oh, I stand corrected. She apparently can kill Mileserman.

Guess he wasn't as popular as people thought.

Oh great, another Squirrel Girl Clone comic. Wew.

Don't tease me, OP.

Evil Gwenpool breaks the fourth wall so hard that she's even aware of editorial. The editorial that apparently won't let her kill Mileserman, and so it's promptly rewritten as Miles having a bad dream.

Which gets back to how future Gwenpool became evil in the first place. Not only does nothing she does have any real consequences, but editorial out-and-out screwed her for trying to save a friend, something editorial thought was wrong.

Porn when? And keep the mask on this time dammit.

Gwenpool apparently cares. She's a big fucking Marvel fangirl, so the idea that she fucks all of that up pisses her right off. Gwenpool swears to never do anything that Evil Gwenpool did, and her commitment to that decision retcons Evil Gwenpool from the comic entirely. The future where she's from never comes to pass.

Unfortunately, in the process Gwen has apparently lost her brother Teddy. On the plus side, we get more magic goth waifu.

This is some deep meta.

Gwenpool #20 closes with telling Mileserman she's done being a mercenary and that he should enjoy his family. Because saving his family by erasing her future self from the comic may have shorted her life-span. By a lot.

Oh, and it looks like the next issue is going to be filler. I'll have to go through my back issues, but I think Hastings plans filler issues for when he knows Gurihiru isn't going to be available.

Goddammit Hastings.

The series hasn't been entirely great, but as far as writing a meta-gimmick story goes, that's a pretty good one. Someone with a 4th wall perspective becoming fed up with the editors and writers fucking up every good thing they do makes a lot of sense. With her knowledge, she could essentially end all conflicts and save the Marvel Universe from itself… and instead, it would all just get retconned or canceled, because it would mean no more conflict, or some random act of editorial fuckery would make her miserable for it.

I know they've planned to #22.

BTW

ewww

Terrible is right…does no one ever looked at the Gurihiru design and use that design for figures and shit…instead of that nightmare inducing one…

Holy shit. For an ongoing cape comic, this is pretty strong stuff.

I just want that Power Pack shirt Gwen wears. Why is it so fucking hard for Marvel to rub two brain cells together?

In the deepest darkness, there is light.

She's Unbeatable Squirrel Girl cuz noone can beat off to that face.

shiet!

The do it on purpose.

I want to support Gwen (Hastings and Gurihiru), but I don't want to give Marvel money to keep Squirrel Girl afloat.

I can confirm, I've beaten off to everything, still can't bust a nut to nuSquirrel girl.

y tho

I can get behind this.

Think of it like this: Marvel already gets their money from comic shop preorders. At worse you're just giving your LCS money to order more Gwenpool.

Because we don't know how evil Gwen looks beneath her mask.

They are both much cuter with the mask on in my personal opinion.

That's some fucking shit talk right theere.

I'm gonna say it: I underestimated the book. I thought it was just a shitty wannabe Harley Quinn-tier book that people only liked because Gwen was cute and the rest of the Marvel lineup is shit. But once we got to this Future Gwen arc and Gwen got confronted with the consequences of her sociopath behavior, it seriously stepped up. And I'm a fucking sucker for "The hero does the right thing in the face of temptation" moments. She could've become Evil Gwen and cause bad shit and become a successful book at the expense of the other characters, but she didn't because behind all the clichés and meta-lampshading, she still loves those characters and wouldn't want to hurt them if she could.

Also, apparently Gwenpool reads DC and Indie according to the author. Vid related.

Is that Paste Pot Pete?

oh yea… on second though, that's probably not a bad idea…

...

Hey now, I can still be cute without the mask! it's not like I'm gonna die or anything if I don't wear it… :')

I'm honestly on the fence about this.
Normal gwen shouldn't have the mask, while futuregwen should.

Gay porn spam is back, just saving the thread.

This is the shit you all rave about?! Sweet lord I thought this was supposed to be funny or good. Its just "lol randum" and written like shit. I might find this funny if I was in third grade.

But this is as bad as the new thundercats show.

Gurihiru does a lot of the heavy lifting on this one. They did several issues without them as the artist and Chris Hastings's writing falls really, really flat without competent art to give it personality and dynamism.

That's comics. Without good art, you're nothing. Just look at Stan Lee.

However, in the case of Hastings, he seems completely aware that Gurihiru can bring the best out of his work, so when Gurihiru is unavailable, he writes pure filler.

Unfortunately it seems not only her costume has been blacked.


I think it's because he's from an alternative future made up for this comic.

It's more them shilling the new properties.
You forgot how she gushed over Kate Bishop as 'the real Hawkeye', which honestly doesn't bug me, since the filler writing and guest art means I can conviniently drop it into the memory hole.

fixed it :')

Well, next issue of Gwenpool is out. The art quality is moderately better than the usual fill-in artists that get hired, though it's still shit.

There's some good reaction image material in some panels, though.

As you can see, Gwen is serious about being a superhero now. She's also suspiciously good at it, able to get rid of a supervillain and his giant snakes without causing any sort of property damage or mayhem whatsoever.

Good cop and bad cop, Gwen is rooming with Cecil, and also we see that her comic book knowledge is starting to get a little bit out of date. Surely this will have no repercussions whatsoever as she attempts a wacky scheme to get herself membership in the Avengers.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the return of Paste-Pot Pete.

And it turns out that we've got something plot-relevant happening in an issue with a fill-in artist.

On the bright side, it looks like Gurihiru are going to be back next month. Also, have a backup feature that's really more just a shitty summary of events so far by yet another non-Gurihiru artist.

The end.

wait, did gwen just murder paste pot pete?
What's the consequence for dumping someone in the gutter?
do they stay there forever? do they get erased in the void?
Is it limbo?
It's limbo isn't it?
would it be possible for someone else to understand how the gutters work by, say, being left in the gutter?
Does gwenpool even know how her powers work?
Did gwenpool just create her own villain and it's paste pot pete? I mean I can kind of see it if his adhesive sprayer can be adapted to spray cosmic gutter ink everywhere

I have so many questions about how this 4th wall panel hopping power works but I think the biggest one is, has anyone actually thought this power through in depth?

WRONG
Still same artist. There's a chance that Gurihiru may illustrate the final issue of the current arc (and possibly the final issue of this series).

Ah, they’re just doing the cover, then. Oh well.


I’d bet Hastings probably has. The way Gwen’s using it now looks like she’s being set up to learn another lesson about not murdering people.

Out of all the substitue artists they got for gwenpool for some reason this one seemed decent compared to the other replacement artist. I guess the artist still tries to make Gwenpool cute?

how did this character come about? did deadpool and spidergwen try to use the same teleporter chamber?

Marvel did a Gwen Stacy month for variant covers back during Secret Wars, and the variant for Deadpool wound up being unusually popular among the cosplay community. Being the grand House of Bad Ideas that it is, Marvel then thought that this meant the concept was worth testing the waters for and turned to their resident freelance go-to guy for shitty ideas, Chris Hastings, to basically invent them a character on the spot. They then stuck the character in a backup feature in Howard the Duck, and it was well-received enough that it got turned into its own ongoing monthly title after a few issues.

Gwenpool’s real name is Gwen Poole, with no relation to Stacy. She’s a girl from ‘the real world’ who was basically a huge comic book fan and came over to Universe 616 during Secret Wars. Depending on who’s handling the writing and art, this varies from ‘surprisingly well-done’ to ‘exactly as cancerous as it sounds ‘.

She>>930863
I knew that artwork looked familiar.

I just want this meme to die

She have been out of real world for almost 2years? that means 8 new powerful stronk grill character and 4 earth reboot with at least one main character death!
i kind like that they make her go out of date with the knowledge power….this could go somewhere

Cancellation imminent.

The title's copies shipped to retailers are below 20k lately.

I read the preview of the next issue and Doom has a new underground base within a train station.

Finally

This

Fuck this gay shit.

...

I want to fuck Gwen. Her lips were MADE to suck cock. Just look at that! Cuter than any of the other dykes Marvel forced out.

Actually read the comic, fag.

Well, it's time for Gwenpool again, Holla Forumsmrades. Read the recap if you want a refresher on what happened last issue. Or just read the last issue, since it was posted up earlier in this thread.

In the meantime, we're off with Gwen and Vinnie.

And it turns out Vinnie led Gwen directly into a trap. Also, please pay no attention to the extra Gwen running around outside the panels.

Dropped down a pit and then tossed into a cell, Gwen sets to work figuring out a way to use her new powers to escape.

Gwen finds out that Victor von Doom is the all-new Infamous Iron Man!

She does not take this news well.

Well, congratulations, Gwen. I think you broke him.

And finally, we have letters to the editor and a sneak peek at next month's cover. Looks like Gwen is getting that fight with Doctor Doom she wanted after all.

Wow so she can make characters into what she wants them. She's becoming pretty powerful. I wonder how Hastings will address this.

I prefer his Dr McNinja to this

Hopefully she'll be able to kill Doctor Doom and editorial will bring him back as a not-shit character. Who am I kidding, Marvel editors are the most insufferable doomfags around. He'll be even worse next time around.

Ha, I guess Hastings read that one issue of Walt Simonson's FF where Reed Richards got out of Doom's trap by freeing himself during their later time-duel back and forth through the pages by redirecting one of Doom's plasma blasts onto THE COVER.
Which makes about as much sense as Bill and Ted winning the battle in Bogus Journey by just promising to come back and set everything up so they win later.

Nice.

Wait what? When did this happen? Why I didn't know about this?i mean I know why, because I don't give a shit of modern comics outside of major stupid crap like nazi cap or nu52

Top kek.
At least DOOM is back even if it's just temporary

When Iron Man "died" a part of his Ai conciousnes sgot transfered to Doom who then made himself a mixture between Iron Man and Doom.
Or sonething like that.

Classic Doom is best doom

When the black ironman riri takes his place? Presumably after civil war 2
That's a shit idea that can't stay on its own leg but it's marvel what did I expect

I am DOOM!

When is she going to revert Power Pack back to their post-holiday special incarnation?

What does Gwen wear under her costume? It's pretty tight but she doesn't show any lines

A thong and sports bra maybe?

What universe are you in? This is slightly less shit but shit nonetheless

Is this a Doom thread now?

...

Doom is the kind of guy who will walk into your throne room and demand to be taken to your throne room, then smoothly change the subject by playing the Horn Of Atlantis.
Doom is the kind of guy who would pick up a Pepp-O-Mint off the floor and put it in his mouth just because you told him not to.

Oh boy looks like she's taking her first steps to becoming the black leather clad evil Gwenpool.

...

...

Why do you not even try to pretend you're not a marketer?

It hurts to live.

...

It's a good thing I have contacts what can get me exclusive shit from over there.

It's also limited edition, and will be sold at Tokyo Comic Con. Because that's all Marvel approved it for.

Fuck that's gonna be near-impossible to get then.

DAMN YOU TO HELL MARVEL!

FUCK YOU AND YOUR GODDAMN IMAGE PARANOIA! FUCK YOU AND YOUR GARBAGE SLUT COMICS! FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING FAD CHASING CRACK WHORES! LET US HAVE SOMETHING NICE GODDAMMIT!

Fuck, hope someone scans it.

At least we have … these … abominations.

...

They did a great job capturing the western artists representation of this character.

And this is why Western comics are dead.

I already did that

THEN YOU'D KNOW THAT EVIL GWEN ISN'T A GODDESS. SHE CAN ONLY BREAK THE FOURTH WALL. SHE CAN'T BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE. IN FACT, SHE WENT EVIL BECAUSE EDITORIAL WOULDN'T LET HER SAVE SOMEONE.

GWEN DOESN'T BLOW THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A GODDESS. SHE BLOWS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A MASSIVE BITCH

Filler aside this is some good shit.

Yeah, they pulled a page out of the "Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe" and had Evil Gwen realize that no matter what she did, even when she wanted to be the good guy, even when she could save everyone and make the world a better place, the editors and writers would also fuck her over in order to serve their latest crossover event or sales gimmick character death storyline.

Wait, isn't that a thing that is actually happening when Gwenpool guest stars?
Are the other appearances of Gwenpool in other comics the backstory to evil Gwen where the only thing in common is the bloody origin of their first appearance?
Is Evil Gwen also real or a fictional Synthesized character by writers or editorial or Gwen herself due to her projected future?

Also, have you noticed? With the organic and simplistic storytelling, simple designs and clear difference between filler and plot issues. It looks like Gwenpool could work better as an animated series.

That would mean that in the moment Gwen swore to not kill never again she actually killed her first real person.

WTF!!!?

6 hours in and no Gwenpool 23? The Gwenfag is lagging so I will just do it for now.

This issue is drawn by Irene Strychalski.
I like her close ups but she does some terrible pan outs.

Gwenpool manages to kill Doom in one move, but WAIT!, by the power of Editorial she's not allowed to kill and A-Lister and apparently less if it was anti-climatic.

Apparently other characters can change the content of the comic if they remember other continuities and Doom can come out of the comic.

And so, in just 5 pages Iron-Doom was given more personality than all those Bendis long issues could. I still don't like it but when a deconstruction of a parody of a 4th wall breaker comic can write your own characters better than you, you are a shit. I wanted to say this since Miles but now is just absurd.
Also, Gwen is dying.

Find out in the next comic.

She'll probably try something else dumb and then ultimately realize that being in the comics is even emptier than being in real life and go back and try to evolve past being a neet

But a person never does that.
Hence, us.

This is too meta. Boring.

I agree, this issue was kind of boring but not bad. 7/10

...

*tips fedora*

Hehehe HAHAHA
So this probably has been done before on the board but I got curious. In an issue, Gwen said she had a stint with "The Champions" I lurked and apparently someone put the "All New, All Different!" cast in one comic and after some more lurking I found the comic in question.
I've never read the champions, I don't know the characters or their personalities, in fact, outside Gwenpool I have not read Marvel in years. So let me dive blind into this shit.
Feb 2017, around this time Issue #13 of Gwenpool was out.

...

I'm saging from now on, this doesn't deserve to bump.
No Hastings in the credits, not even as a consultant…. yeah?

REMINDER, ARYAN!GWENPOOL IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE WRONG HERE

Also, did bootleg Cyclops just shot at some kids?
AND WTF IS GOING ON THAT PANEL?
This is where those uncanny Gwen figures came from?

Gwen deems this too goddamn fucking boring to pay any attention to and leaves, clearly, she's smarter than me.
Never let me do this again.
But remember, she's on the wrong, a comic should focus on every little heroic thing a hero does, from saving the world to legitimately absolutely nothing in this case but to talk some "sense" into a deputy that will end up doing all the boring hard work.
Fuck me.

...

The people who make this shit deserve to have their hands cut off.

It hits too close to home.

Is "Editorial" a character now?
Is it stronger than Galactus?

I think that's the difference between EXCLUSIVE talent and work-for-hire.

Hastings isn't the greatest writer in the world, but he has 12 years of experience writing to broad audiences with his own comic. Fags like Bendis never left the safe space of the direct market.

BASED JAPAN

Finally she looks like a 19 year old instead of a thirty something's meth head.
I never understood why did Marvel kept making her figures with her first appearance design.

A-any anons here or elsewhere scanned them yet?

Is that a figma?

Nendos are better than figmas

Hot glue treatment video when?

Because Marvel still thinks of Gwenpool as "LOLMEMES", and, like always, won't realize what they've got until it's too late.

They're letting an empire of dakimakura, premium figures, plushies, tshirts, cartoons, and comics slip right through their fingers.

It's Medicom MAFEX, which means it'll probably retail anywhere from $50 to $80.

God Kamala is a sour faced bitch

This is literally Tumblr: The Comic

Hey Holla Forums

At least she's taking America with her.

Holy satan.
Wait a minute…

...

But she took America down with her. That and the fact that nobody likes a chicano lesbian from another dimension who is written like a dudebro stereotype.

MAXIMUM DO NOT WANT

Can someone explain me this?
I don't see the obvious legit ending of Gwenpool tied with the cancellation of America.
In any case, if this is true
Gwenpool is best cape of 2015 - 2017


She literally spends a whole issue shitting on their very premise.
If that happens, (Ignoring the wormhole sized plot holes implications of that regardless of the ending) I'm betting on Hastings explaining that no matter what the ending is, whatever Gwen we see from now on is just a character imprint created by Editorial, after all, Editorial does want Gwen to become a successful prankster god lolsorandumb villain. She's already portrayed like this on "The Champions" for not caring about "muh racism".

America is also absent in Marvel's March solicitations, which means that shitty book was cancelled as well.

No, I get that. But how did Gwen "killed" America.

It's a shame that it's ending. I always wondered what adult evil gwen looked like under the mask.

Not literally. Everyone's just happy Nigger Dyke Planet is over and using its death to cope with one of the few good current year comics ending

...

I'm glad the comments are calling out that bullshit for it is. It's clear the author hasn't read either comic outside of industry blurbs.


Once again, these fags betray their real intent. They don't give a crap about comics. They just care about #HASHTAGS and other media.

If you were ever wondering why we haven't seen another Sandman pop up in recent years, this is why.

Let's be fair, a comic is best when the writer has a specific number of issues they plan on a story running for, and then come up with something new afterwards.

Holy shit, that comment section is pure cancer. But the only flamewar is whether America is shit or not, even now Gwenpool underperforms.
By this point I'm just waiting for Gwen to become the "Alt-Right comic", she already looks Aryan enough, is apolitical and doesn't want "muh racism" in comics but the run is almost over anyways and is too late to shove last minute backpedaling damage control by MARVEL editors so either they will do that after the run with Editorial's Gwenpool character or Editorial will get it's evil Gwen.
Man this is the fun kind of meta.

Honestly, I'm waiting for the inevitable Axe Cop cameo.

KEK

Cebulski is cleaning the house. It's fifth book that got cancelled this week.

...

...

...

FTFY

Got a list mate?

plz no bully.

Is it weird that Gwenpool is the best comic in Marvel right now yet we're the only ones not crying like a little bitch.

AFAIK
It's Gwenpool, America, Iceman, Hawkeye and Jessica Jones is changing team.

It is sad, but we've speculated this was coming for months. At least Hastings and Gurihiru will end it on their own terms.

Really, we should be angry. Angry with Marvel for squandering such a solid book. If Marvel didn't over saturate the market, Gwenpool would've stood a chance.

Gwenpool would probably have not existed.

Honestly it'll be refreshing to see a comic book character with a complete story arc that ends.

Agreed.

...

You two are small time

is this shit good for a 9 year old or is it too saucy? rush to get xmas out. sorry for the spoonfeed.

Gwenpool is cute, not saucy.

Read the issues in this thread. That should give you a good idea as to the tone of this series.

I've read a little bit, but wanted a 2nd opinion. Don't have much time to ship gifts out now cause I'm a fuck, thx user.

If by cute you mean fappable…

had my doubts from what i read. pervy ass Holla Forums. i'll go with something else. gwenfags are terrible.

fag.

Nothing of what you posted is real
Training with Bartoc lasted 10min before needing a brake
She is 16
A neet that can't keep a job and is a lazy fuck in her room?
Ok I give you that unless is (((pool))
No empathy for anyone or anything around her

Like 18 numbers ago, she keeps training.
Hastings said she's 18
Ever since she trains.
Have you missed the past 9 issues? The only reason she did this was because she considered everyone else no more real than a GTA bystander but she's over that, now she legitimately fears for her life due to her comic ending for having character development instead of obeying status quo.

Yeah cry more. To me, that the only reason I read shit nowadays. Because most things simply are shit. And hey, considering everything is now sexualized or cute on purpose to manipulate readers into thinking it's interesting, like most webcomics do…

It must work, those assholes are FUCKING RICH WITHOUT TALENT!

I feel you user. It's almost impossible, but there's still some things left that aren't nu-progressive (or w/e the fuck buzzword some asshole I prob can't stand labeled it).
Can't transfer my personal blackpill though.

Now we just have to get Bobby straightened back out.

wonder why he did that…

Reminds me of Blizzard changing DVA's age from 16 to 18 preemptively because they knew all the porn that would happen.

Steve…since when you can break the fourth wall?

Is really contrasting considering this whole last 9 issues of Gwenpool has constantly played with not just the genre, as a deconstructive parody of the 4th wall meme sub-genre, but the medium itself and that's just secondary to the actual MC character arc.
Also, bump, the new issue should be coming soon.

It's out on the 10th. AVclub has the preview, but I'm only posting these two pages of it.

This was actually pretty clever!

I'm gonna miss this comic.

This is how you do meta-awareness. Not constantly talking to the audience or making jokes about hollywood.

You mean like overrated as fuck Deadpool? I really had to force myself to watch the movie, which was okay, but I really hate the character (the movie didn't change that) since all fans I know are annoying ADHD freaks who laugh about EVERYTHING.

I'm just happy GuriHiru is on the case, even with the simple art style I've enjoyed the fact that this thing is actually on model 9 out of every 10 times.
And yet, just because is on model it feels that it has more detail than many Marvel books, I also like the full solid colors, and the well drawn shadowing details.


The movie was okay, since it was a movie and that was the medium the references didn't seem out of place.

Then again, I like when Gwen talks to the audience, she has made reading the recap fun.

Regardless on my position on Deadpool, you understand how retarded that reads right?

No. Being around stupid shits online is terrible enough, in real life it's worse. Same with Rick & Morty fans, Steven Universe fans, Frozen fans, Game of Thrones fans… I hate all of that shit because of the full retard fans.

And it's hard to keep liking shit that I played or watch before the annoying ass fandom showed up, like Undertale or Zootopia.
For that reason, online-only multiplayer is a terrible feature, too. I rather play with friends on my couch than random assholes. I basically get in contact with assholes I don't wanna know and my day is ruined for no reason because I have to listen to their garbage.

Man, retarded fandoms are inherent to everything and if it doesn't have a retarded fandom it has posers.
Just like your shit and be on with your life.

Not as long as I'm using the internet. Ironically, I do nothing all day but hanging around on the web, yet I hate most people I see there. I wish I could just… I dunno… consume all the content without seeing any of the stupid posts, comments, trends, hashtags, whatever.

Holla Forumsirgins BTFO

See It's pretty clear why they don't do many characters with "4th wall powers" because it gets old fast. That's a very lame joke and inconsistent with the rest of the books tone

Gurihiru's art has been Gwenpoole's saving grace. As we've seen, when GuriHiru isn't the artist the comic sucks because the writing is mediocre.

It's mediocre because the artist can't do justice to Hasting's writing.

That's thing about comics, it's a team effort. Gurihiru brings out the best in Hastings and Hastings brings out the best in Gurihiru. This is why manga succeeds with a consistent creative team, while mainstream comics fall flat with their artistic musical chairs.

Hasting's writing isn't very good.
When GuriHiru is doing the art I suspend the disbelief, but it's less "other artists don't do Hasting's justice" and more "Hasting's writing on Gwenpoole is mediocre and that shows when GuriHiru isn't around to make up for it".

Gurihiru has the ability to properly give Hastings' writing a sense of dynamism and energy. They also seem to be one of the only people at Marvel capable of visualizing fourth-wall breaking scenes… But… is right. Without a great artist for cover for him, the sheer mediocrity of Hastings' works really shows through.

It's clear early on that Hastings treats issues that don't have Gurihiru doing the art as filler. He works out how many issues Gurihiru are going to be available and writes stories that take advantage of it.

That's why after the first arc, you get a bunch of unimportant stories until Gurihiru gets back on the book. He knows that Gurihiru gets what he's trying to do and Gurihiru clearly enjoy working with him.

It's true he treats the non-GuriHiru issues as filler, but when you go back and look at his writing even in the main issues, if you look at it separate from GuriHiru's art the same trends poor storytelling is there. It just looks nicer because GuriHiru is a great artist. Take the 5 or so pages she's having a chat with Iron-Doom: That's a really badly written conversation even in the context in which it's occurring, and the way he writers Iron-Doom is god-awful. Now granted Iron-Doom is the shittiest interpretation of Dr.Doom, but Hasting's version isn't "better", it's just shitty in a different way. Instead of not developing at all, we have a character who has fully developed into something new off-page and with no explanation for any of it. He really could have been anyone talking to Gwen there.

Gwenpoole is a bad book because it's got all the problems of marvel, just with better writing and amazing art. If GuriHiru was given other better characters to work with and a good writer, they could make an amazing comic run. But as it stands Marvel has essentially stuck them in what will be remembered as just an okay comic book.

GuriHiru knows how to give scenes weight and actual feelings of movement and energy. It's not perfect for all stories, I think GuriHiru would be shit at doing a Punisher book for instance, but if they'd been given a character like Hulk (not Cho) or other characters who are really physical and throw their weight around they'd be incredible.

All this talk about Gurihiru's art reflects poorly on the comic, because it suggests that nobody would care for it were it just another money pit carried solely by Hastings' writing and a stable of fill-in artists.

It's hard to separate writing and art in comics (that's how Stan Lee has managed to get away with being just an ideaguy for so long). Gwenpool is a lot less fun without Gurihiru, but it's not like America would become worth reading if they were working on that.

America might be a bad example since - maybe - having a better artist might inspire an otherwise mediocre writer to be more creative but the author of America is completely disconnected with reality anyway.


I'd suggest that 'just an OK comic book' is an exceptional accomplishment given the current state of Marvel: Iron Doom is just so shit that he sucks the fun out of something otherwise entertaining. But I don't really know at what point making fun of editorial mandates crossed over with the actual editorial mandates, so you might be right.

I mean, would you? I don't like Gwenpoole, but I read it because GuriHiru is a really good artist and manages to draw enjoyment out of what their given despite the odds. When they're not the artist the book is just as bad as other Marvel tripe.
I don't hate Hastings, I just think this isn't the book he should be writing. He's not great at writing conversations between two sincere actors, it always sounds like one party is just there to further along the plot. I don't think the problems with Gwenpoole are all his fault since the character is awful in concept and there's not a lot his writing can do to fix the underlying issues, but still.


Hey I'm not gonna argue otherwise, but it's still just OK. That being said, it's amazing that modern Marvel has managed to produce something actually decent and has decided to kill it off. It shows that we will never approach even a medium level of quality coming from Marvel comics ever again.

What Hastings has done with the character's meta nature is interesting and noteworthy enough on its own, regardless of the art. For someone to do what he's done with a mainstream comic at this point in time is pretty great.

The slowpokes at Marvel Mexico finally translated the issue… 0.

IT'S OUT!

THE UNBELIEVABLE GWENPOOL #24!

heh, I was just posting this but it came with a bug and didn't post, thanks man.

Fin.

Now that the limitations are explained, since it seems that editorial controls the universe despite Gwen's abilities, those are some pretty entertaining superpowers.

I bet is fictional Gwen telling her she can go home or she can decide to continue existing in the Marvel Universe as a fictional character written by other people or something.

Well, I'll be damned. Hastings actually made me feel a little sad that this is ending.

...

Oh man.

WAIFU HOLOCAUST

Lucky bastard I have a hard dingdong on cocke adicted sluts

That self-insert is too much.

Japs get all the good stuff, even USA cape-comics. FFS,,,

If Gwenpool is a self-insert like people say, even though I can't find it, then is the most masochistic self-insert I've seen, even when she gets the powers not even most Mary Sues get she can't just win even once.

Of course they do. The Japs know their audience and how to market to it.

Western comics are too busy pushing decades old cape shit to successfully market anything.

Marvel told Hastings to write a fourth-wall breaking character like Deadpool, but with tits.

Hastings does just that, and in the process, creates the anti-Deadpool. An anti-Deadpool that's aware that she's going to cease to exist after the book is cancelled.

Even before the comic was near to canceled, Gwenpool constantly failed at every important milestone needed to become a famous comic, both, in-universe and real life.
Back in issue #4 Gwen states that she can't die because she's the protagonist and has a Deus Ex Machina around her, sometimes.
But now I think it was Status Quo all along, and as she defied it by not taking the predictable path of becoming a Deadpool villain she's no longer under its protection.

ITS ACTUALLY COMING OUT

THE ONLY GOOD FIGURE OF GWENPOOL

And it's going to cost $70 and you can only preorder from the japs

Dat Ass.

They're never gonna live the selfie shit down, are they?

Being a Marvel™ character is a fate worse than oblivion. It's better this way.

At least she's cute this time and not a crack whore.

as I'm reading this thread, I'm being surprised; this was actually any good, this trite about a rule 63?

You fucking stupid or something? I mean, of course you're new and all but couldn't you at least take the time to lurk these threads before making an ass out of yourself?

I avoid this shit like the plague, I just saw the thread having a gay time with what I thought was feminist trash made to display how bad men are and how great it is to have a whacky girl character who one-shots ebil white males.

You mean a storytime thread that's been had for a good ass while with no indication from the OP saying it would be trash, you thought it was hot garbage without prior experience lurking around here or the vola. Now you come to here, to this thread with your shit smelling real fucking bad and have the audacity to not lurk or even bother reading the thread or past threads in full.

How fucking new are you and what hellhole did you crawl out of?

The bottom of the ocean, faggot, some of us have jobs that require us to drop off the earth.

Go back to reddit where you belong.

LOOK AT THIS FAG!

The Newfag from 20,000 Fathoms

There's nothing that prevents a self-insert character from being well written and entertaining except for the skill of the writer. The issue is most people who make a self insert are awful fucking writers.

You not only didn't bother reading the comic, you didn't even bother reading the thread?

So is Gwen is ~16?

18, canon.

...

...

aww i like this comic

At least it didn't get milked to death and raped by Marvel. That's the best we can hope for these days.

Found the cuckchan faggot from earlier in the thread.

True.

the only acceptable thing about it was the art.

Aw, how sweet. The cuckchan faggot is talking to himself now.

The final issue has its own thread:


cuck/co/ on riot mode
