Here we have yet another Marvel character who is displaced from their home dimension. Seriously, Marvel, can you really not create a story that doesn't involve parallel universes or alternate timelines? It's getting really stale now.This collection is pretty meandering and feels directionless a lot of the time. It's not entirely without laughs or charm, though, and has potential to improve. Either that or I'm just holding out hope for it because I've been reading the writer's webcomic for so man...

I have to admit I was a bit prejudiced about this but it ended up growing on me. at first this is just a copy of deadpool but more pink. but then you get to know gwen and things gets more nice. also, so many cameos! not sure if I'll continue this or not but I'll definitely consider itfull review here: https://catshelf.wordpress.com/2017/0...

Find this and other Reviews at In Tori LexThis was a fun and witty adventure, perfect for comic book fans. I haven't read many superhero comics before so did feel like I missed some of the references. However the constant dialogue directly to the reader and the mash up of characters worked well together. I was skeptical of this title because creating a female Deadpool with some Harley Quinn quirks to sell comics, seemed misguided. Despite those thoughts, the humor and unique story line had me ho...

This was a lot of fun. I was expecting a Gwen Stacy or Deadpool spin-off, but instead found Gwen Poole, an average comics fan who's somehow transferred to an alternate dimension where superheroes are the reality and her fannish knowledge translates to invaluable secret intelligence. There's a meta aspect that's quite entertaining, and an irreverent tone that's delightful because it never degenerates to the overly harsh or cruel. (Which is why I was never a Deadpool fan.) I could have done withou...

I really didn't think I was going to like this one, but I gave it a shot because... I'm masochistic? I encountered Gwen Poole over in Rocket Raccoon & Groot, and I really wasn't a fan of the character. She was so manic she made Rocket into the straight man of the book. A bit much for me, in other words. I was not entirely wrong. In her #0 issue and in the special, that's really all there is to her. She's Deadpool mixed with Spider-Gwen, with an extra dash of cloudcuckoolander. Her conviction tha...

Nope. Not for me. I thought I would like it because I used to like Deadpool, but nope. And that Duck... nope. sorry.

For the #btat2017 challenge to read a book entirely outdoors!Mini review to come!

This is one of the most fun things Marvel has ever done. I freakin loved it.

A goofy, fun take on a meta comic. A comic character based off a Deadpool variant cover that fans really dug. Now she's got her own book in the Marvel U. Gwen Poole is a comic book reader from our universe who is somehow now on Earth-616. She realizes walking around Manhattan without a costume is a sure way to have a building fall on you from a super hero battle. So she gets a costume and goes around shooting people, because who cares, these people are fictional. Eventually she gets roped into w...

Great! So they made an alternate Gwen version of Spider-Man, a Gwen Version of Deadpool was the next logical step right? I won't lie, when I first heard of this series I thought it was Marvel cashing in on the success of Spider-Gwen, but I thought I'd try the first volume, and man was I wrong! This book was really funny, which is why I had a permanent grin on my face as I read it from start to finish! Basically we have Gwen who is from the real world like us, and she's a comic book loving, video...

bless, i need to read this entire thing

3.5 stars"Who is this monster?" -- Howard the Duck, referring to the title character"I don't know! Some kind of pants-less . . . arctic ninja . . . or something." -- Black CatNow here is one of the characters (along with America Chavez) that piqued my interest on the heels of reading the fun West Coast Avengers, Vol. 1: Best Coast earlier this week. Gwen Poole a.k.a. the Unbelievable Gwenpool mixes the Marvel mainstays Gwen Stacy with Deadpool to give readers a costumed young vigilante who is fu...

Normal girls sure are scary... This takes escapism to a whole new level.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a character get their own series off the back of a variant cover before but that’s what happened with Gwenpool! She originally appeared on a Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars variant cover by Chris Bachalo as a mashup between Gwen Stacey (popular at the time as Spider-Gwen) and Deadpool. Fans liked it and wanted more so Marvel obliged - and it’s fantastic?! Writer Chris Hastings wisely walks back the Gwen Stacey/Deadpool combo, rewriting Gwenpool as Gwen Poole, a Marvel

‘S fun. Gwenpool grew on me, getting a little less Harley Quinn-by-Palmiotti-forced-whackey, a little more competent and normal-sounding. That’s she’s getting away with Squirrel Girl-level escapades makes the stakes for Gwen pretty damned low, but I’m hoping she has some real challenges ahead once she steps up to take charge of actual hard stuff.

I'll be honest, I totally dismissed this book the first time I saw it on my comixology app. "Gwenpool the unbelievable", eh? Yeah, right.After two very good reviews of GR friends of mine I decided to fight against my nature and give it a try. And they were right. This is good.Gwenpool is as meta as a comic book can be since the idea is that the main character (Gwendolyne Poole?) is a real character-as in from our earth that somehow got sucked on Earth-616 during Secret War or something like that...

Believe It is Unbelievably a pretty solid first volume that introduces us to a new character, Gwenpool - who is not in any way related to Gwen Stacy or Deadpool.Due to all the dumb shit that happened in Secret Wars, a teenage girl named Gwen Poole from our comic reading universe has somehow (<--no idea yet!) been sucked into the 616 universe. The short version is that there was a misunderstanding about her name when she went to get her costume made and now?Gwen Poole = Gwenpool.Why was she getti...

Well this was...a surprise. I almost gave this a four star. My only negative was how short this comic was and how it wrapped up too quickly for the first arc. That and I don't think Issue 1 really shows why this comic is so good. It's just Okay...fun. Then issue 2-4 happen. Okay so once it starts rolling and we learn a lot about Gwen Poole (which is amazing name. She is not another Gwen btw) it becomes tons of fun and actually has some great emotional moments. I loved her interaction with charac...

If you're looking for one of Marvel's newer comics to get into, then Gwenpool just might be it.Pros:-hilarious character that has no idea how to be a hero-beautiful artwork-wonderful cameos including Doctor Strange and Batroc-interesting storylineCons-the artwork was different in 1 or 2 spots and that was annoyingBut seriously, how can you not enjoy a character who learns how to sword-fight from YouTube tutorials?

Like Deadpool, only pinker. And less gory than the little Deadpool I’ve read. It very much doesn’t take itself seriously, of course; there’s a lot of comic violence, silly twists and odd meta. Some of the meta is oddly poignant — the commentary on the fact that Captain America doesn’t ever get a happy ending, for instance — and some of it is just silly. Why does Gwen Poole costume up? Because an extra might get killed in Comic Book World, but the hero never does!It’s fun, and I actually really e...
