Synopsis: "The breakout hit of the biggest Spider-Event of the century is taking the comics world by storm with her own series! Gwen Stacy is Spider-Woman, but you knew that already. What you DON'T know is what friends and foes are waiting for her in the aftermath of Spider-Verse! From the fan-favorite creative team that brought you Spider-Gwen's origin story in EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE, Jason Latour and Robbie Rodriguez!

COLLECTING: SPIDER-GWEN 1-5"

Stacy Gwen was Spider-man/Peter Parker's first love. Her death was heart-wrenching and when I learned that Gwen was not only back but with the powers once only held by Spider-man. I had to wait a while to finally get my hands but finally did as I wanted to know how she returned and just how she came to gain her abilities. While we sort of get an idea of both of those answers, the graphic novel doesn't give us a clear answer and keeps you guessing.

I think the best part of the novel is that it is vibrant with color. The pages leap out at you and hit you with every palette under the sun. Robbi Rodriquez has done a terrific job of setting your eyes ablaze on every page.

The story of Gwen is one that I found myself always behind the curve, while this is suppose to be the first book in the series there seem to be a disconnect. This collection should have included her reappearance to fill in the gap as to how she returned. Instead, we jump right into her life as she deals with her father alive and her job working for Norman Osborn. In fact, Peter Parker is the one who died when he attempted to give himself powers when he learned his girlfriend, Gwen, was the spider. It makes for an interesting story line, but because the story has a few plot holes and the stories contained in the collection jump around a bit, it is hard to get a real fix on the character. And this is the problem with the book. The story is a little jarring as it jumps around from place to place.

While Spider-Gwen is an interesting book to read and puts a new twist on the Spider-man mythos, this collection feels a little inconsistent. If you are a fan of the love affair between Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker but want to see the roles reversed, this is your book. Gwen is a young superhero who has to deal with school, crime, and the loss of her boyfriend.

Overall 6/10

Ukkusiksalik: The People's Story

Ukkusiksalik: The People's Story By David F. Pelly Toronto: Dundurn, $21.50 Reviewed by Russell A. Potter When I was in Gjoa Haven for ten days in 2004, I remember a local Inuk who, though he was happy to answer my newcomer's questions, regarded my interest in his community as a short-term one, despite my protestations to the contrary. When I asked him why, he put it plainly: many  Qallunaaat say the same thing -- but then that's the last you see of them -- they never come back. David F. Pelly is one who came back -- again and again -- and so earned the trust and the friendship of the people he sojourned among. And these qualities are vital to the  project of  Ukkusiksalik , which is no less than to provide a comprehensive oral history of this area from the earliest appearance of humans to the establishment of the national park that bears its name in 2003, and beyond. Indeed, Pelly opens with an account of the geological history of the area beginning with the last Ice Ag...

Plus: Han & Leia are confronted by an unexpected foe from Han's past! COLLECTING: STAR WARS 7-12" Last week I reviewed the first volume of the new Star Wars comic book that covers the time between New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. Volume 2 continues the adventures of the rebels and this time it features a little more of Leia, which was missing from the last book. I don't want to give too much away but in this storyline Han and Leia's struggling romance gets sidelined when someone...

The “war with no name” has begun, with human extinction as its goal. The instigator of this war is the Colony, a race of intelligent ants who, for thousands of years, have been silently building an army that would forever eradicate the destructive, oppressive humans. Under the Colony's watchful eye, this utopia will be free of the humans' penchant for violence, exploitation and religious superstition. As a final step in the war effort, the Colony uses its strange technology to transform the surface animals into high-functioning two-legged beings who rise up to kill their masters.
