For my four year old Gwen is her own character. If the character can hold out for a few years, my daughter will be looking for a solo “Ghost Spider” book. For now her Ghost Spider plushy is her bedtime buddy.
@@rayvenkman2087 indeed which drives me crazy because a lot of people myself included love Spider-girl mayday parker the daughter of Peter parker and Mary jane and the fact that her series actually succeeded and had a 100 issues and is a super popular character proves to me that Joe Q has no idea what heck he's talking and is a complete idiot at least in my opinion.
That pregnant pause before Tiff gives her GBU pick, you could feel the fear hit Sal -- "...she's not gonna say Julia's was the good, right?!" Julia did get such a raw deal in general -- a third string legacy character until she became the second Madame Web, again a legacy character but with a degree of agency to her... When the toy comes out of the box, anyway. M2 was another universe born from a successful spider-book, the fact Spider-Girl went on for as long as it did is actually amazing. A testament to faith in the longevity of an ongoing story.
There was an interview last week with one of the head Marvel editors. He basically said the only reason Spider-Girl ended when it did was cause one of his bosses said "We have the trademark on Spider-Girl but are wasting it on an AU? Make a main Spider-Girl and book. Also stop the old one so people don’t get confused.". The editor then basically said "Would be fun to see her back for a bit but I don’t think it will happen due to Spider-Gwen, Silk and Miles covering the teen Spider corner." Funny enough the girl they made Spider-Girl in 616 to cancel MC2 is going back to her pre-Spider-Girl identity and costume this year as part of the "final" Spider-Verse event so now they totally could bring the MC2 one back.
1. Spider-Woman: Rematch With Death Web #1 = 0:43 2. Spider-Girl #1 = 12:43 3. Spider-Gwen #1 = 27:53 Final Verdict = 36:43 My favorite of the three is Spider-Gwen. Spider-Gwen is not only one of my favorite superheroes and one of my top 3 favorite marvel characters, but she is also my favorite spider person!
I love spider-gwen as well. her original series is great but she kind suffers from the same thing that ms marvel does where once the original creative team stepped away, they really haven’t known what to do with her character
I haven't cared about any Gwen character or story made in decades, but GBU is always a blast. Heck, you guyz can upload any type of discussion and I'll still joyfully watch. Straight up.
I'm hyped! I also have to compliment the selections since I am not too familiar with Julia Carpenter, I was aware of "Mayday" & who doesn't know Spider-Gwen? That was a rhetorical question I hope
Honestly, the only reason I even know about Julia Carpenter is because of that 90's Iron Man cartoon and in it they always tried to make her and Tony a thing. It was such a weird ship ngl.
the only thing i know about the spider gwen artist is he got super pissed when frank cho drew gwen in the manara pose when he was doing all those sketches to troll people
Mays’ life gets much worse and darker, and she ultimately gets intrinsically linked to spider verse as well, both of her parents are killed by the inheritors and she ends up living with an Uncle Ben from a universe where he got spider powers, he comes and lives in her universe, and ends up taking care of and raising her and her (as of the issue they are reading) unborn little brother.
Mary Jane survived the fire with Mays boyfriend and Peter was later brought back in their universe by their other spirit totem but never being shown other than a hand out of the ground
Iirc her original creator said that the May who appears in Spider-Verse is a different version from the one he made, so technically the OG May’s story ended with her dating Wes.
May day is so great! I could only find a random single issue as a kid and it stuck with me. I absolutely loved the character. And I was blown away when I realized she referred to herself as 'you' too
I like the original Spider Girl best, also the first Spider-Woman I encountered was Julia Carpenter so I like her better than Spider Gwen or Jessica Drew.
LOL, you guys are too funny...!!! I remember buying the first few issues of May-Day Parker Spider-Girl and quite enjoying it. My older sister who is definitely not a superhero fan loved the book even more than I did and when I ran out of cash and could no longer buy it, she was so disheartened. ☹
I agree the Julia Carpenter/Spider-woman of the 90s had potential. Unfortunately, it came at a time when Marvel was pumping out books without making quality a priority.
If you need anymore good bad and ugly ideas can I suggest 2099, comic runs could be the original 2099 run, the spider-man 2099 run from (2015-2017) and secret wars 2099 (from 2015)
It would be cool to see a GBU featuring three _awesome_ comics. The one I have in mind is GOOD comic adaptations of movies (specifically _2001: A Space Odyssey_ by Jack Kirby, _Alien_ by Archie Goodwin & Walt Simonson, & _Bram Stoker's Dracula_ by Mike Mignola).
That second person narrative thing from the spider girl comic, the whole 'you are' narration, that was big in a bunch of comics from the 70s, especially from Marvel. Trying to make things more like literature and not just 'kids stuff ' but ends up being pretentious.
Prediction: Spider-Gwen #1 will be the good. Justification: Jason Latour and Robbi Rodriguez made a genuinely great comic that reads more like an indie book than a modern superhero comic. I tried reading Spider-Girl back in the day, and I liked "Mayday" as a character, but I just couldn't get into that art, so I didn't read it for long.
@@sarsfien8625 That's totally fair, Rodriguez has a very distinct style. But it's a distinct style I enjoy, which is why I followed him to Valiant and collected The Harbinger, and I'm continuing to buy Batgirls because Rodriguez is illustrating this new story arc.
Looking back through Spider-Girl issue one, and I kinda don't like the art. I was thinking Bagley had done that book for some reason, and this other guy's work doesn't hold up quite as well as I expected. Fantastic story though. Spider-Gwen might have a less tight story, but the art is dope. Also, screw the code.
That intro felt like I got sidelined by a semi-truck, hip 90's kid Tiffany needs to be a reoccurring character.
Coupled with the fact I can't take my eyes away from the shiny Tick statue in the background. There's a lot of 90's to take in.
@@pious83 all it needs is a Scud the Disposable Assassin decoration to top it off
Such an underrated show man. As much re-watchability as Back Issues.
JJ
Ben's look after stating nobody looks good in a beret when Tiffany is "I have worn a beret" is priceless.
For my four year old Gwen is her own character. If the character can hold out for a few years, my daughter will be looking for a solo “Ghost Spider” book. For now her Ghost Spider plushy is her bedtime buddy.
*Ben:* "She's wearing a beret."
*Tiffany:* _slams table_ "Listen here, you little-!"
I couldn't possibly love you people more. I miss May; she deserves a book. I would LOVE a shot at rebooting Julia Carpenter.
Tom DeFalco is soooo underrated
Amen!
I love spider-girl mayday Parker she’s really awesome and badass and tons of fun.
Yet Joe Q just seems to loath the character as much as Dan Didio loathes Dick Grayson.
@@rayvenkman2087 indeed which drives me crazy because a lot of people myself included love Spider-girl mayday parker the daughter of Peter parker and Mary jane and the fact that her series actually succeeded and had a 100 issues and is a super popular character proves to me that Joe Q has no idea what heck he's talking and is a complete idiot at least in my opinion.
I wish May would get another series. DeFalco did such a good job w her original run
I don’t know what’s changed, but I’m finally starting to see this channel in my feed, and getting notifications about new GBUs feels like a treat.
There is definitely a Back Issue with Tiffany rocking her red beret. She can totally pull off berets.

Jessica Carpenter even got upstaged by Jessica Drew in the "Spider-Woman Mom" department
We need a full back issues about spidergirl. Such a wonderful character and series
1. Spider-Woman: Rematch With Death Web #1 = 0:43
2. Spider-Girl #1 = 12:43
3. Spider-Gwen #1 = 27:53
Final Verdict = 36:43
My favorite of the three is Spider-Gwen. Spider-Gwen is not only one of my favorite superheroes and one of my top 3 favorite marvel characters, but she is also my favorite spider person!
I love spider-gwen as well. her original series is great but she kind suffers from the same thing that ms marvel does where once the original creative team stepped away, they really haven’t known what to do with her character
@@cameronf7566 her new series Gwenverse is not very good which sucks bc it’s written by Tim Seeley who’s literally one of my favorite writers.
That Spider-girl series is so good, I really hope you guys go through the whole series
I haven't cared about any Gwen character or story made in decades, but GBU is always a blast. Heck, you guyz can upload any type of discussion and I'll still joyfully watch. Straight up.
Loved the episode. Loved the break down on May's narration, and the difference in outlooks between her and her father.
I'm hyped! I also have to compliment the selections since I am not too familiar with Julia Carpenter, I was aware of "Mayday" & who doesn't know Spider-Gwen? That was a rhetorical question I hope

Ironic that Force Works debuted in a cartoon before the Avengers did.
I could honestly swear I’ve seen Tiff in a dark turquoise beret at some point in a livestream or in the comic pop Instagram feed.
I love these! They're like 3 mini back issues in one episode ❤️
a quick browse shows a Beret-wearing Tiffany in the Worst X-man ep of Back Issues
yipee no prize
Awarded
the only thing i know about the spider gwen artist is he got super pissed when frank cho drew gwen in the manara pose when he was doing all those sketches to troll people
I’m SUPER glad they irrevocably changed Phil Urich to a murderer and hobgoblin so that MC2 universe could never be true SO GREAT
My favourite show from the ComicPOP channel. So glad to see it back!!
I liked Julie Carpenter and her outfit.
Mays’ life gets much worse and darker, and she ultimately gets intrinsically linked to spider verse as well, both of her parents are killed by the inheritors and she ends up living with an Uncle Ben from a universe where he got spider powers, he comes and lives in her universe, and ends up taking care of and raising her and her (as of the issue they are reading) unborn little brother.

Got a chuckle after "of course you do".
I think there was a off the rack where tiff wore a beret
Hell yeah Cool-Teen-Tiffany™️!!
Also, I love the multiple camera angles, it really makes the show dynamic and engaging! Also, the set looks great!
Best show in the world 👏🏾
I like the original Spider Girl best, also the first Spider-Woman I encountered was Julia Carpenter so I like her better than Spider Gwen or Jessica Drew.
I thought of GBU, I get a New GBU notification. I ❤️ ComicPop
I can already tell this is gonna be a good episode
LOL, you guys are too funny...!!!
I remember buying the first few issues of May-Day Parker Spider-Girl and quite enjoying it.
My older sister who is definitely not a superhero fan loved the book even more than I did
and when I ran out of cash and could no longer buy it, she was so disheartened. ☹
Latecomer to this show but is always a favorite to see a new episode
I'm probably the odd man out in this case, but I actually kinda like Mayday Parker.
From what I remember of her
You are not the odd man out and people loved that character.
Well that's good to hear lol
@@le-grey-far-away It was impressive that her series kept getting cancelled and due to her popularity kept coming back. She is great.
Yes! Thank you for this! I needed this before a bad day at work.
Best intro ever I had to rewind that a couple times 😂
This is Cool theme.
Julia Carpenter has always been ..odd, within the Marvel Universe. Debuted within Secret Wars and ever since was always an outlier to Jessica Drew.
Fuck yes this is my episode!!! I’m not biased at all lol
I agree the Julia Carpenter/Spider-woman of the 90s had potential. Unfortunately, it came at a time when Marvel was pumping out books without making quality a priority.
Another gem of an episode. Great work!
JC spider woman was always my favorite spider lady. She looks cool and i always liked west coast avengers.
I love GB&E as much as Back Issues.
i desperately need to watch more GBU
This is such a wonderful surprise every time I see the notification. Thanks for making a day of Sunday Scaries better.
I remember when spider-Gwen was popular for a hot minute.
Tiffany shirt is dope
🥰 thank you!
If you need anymore good bad and ugly ideas can I suggest 2099, comic runs could be the original 2099 run, the spider-man 2099 run from (2015-2017) and secret wars 2099 (from 2015)
Note, I believe the Julia Carpenter artist is the same one as Avengers West Coast at the time.
Gotta agree with Ben
What can I say? The heart wants what the heart wants... I LOVE Julia Carpenter. Does she have great stories? No. I don't care. She's my favorite
The only other comic I can think of with 2nd Person Narration is the original Iron Fist run from the 70s.
Awesome!! Always enjoy a GBU drop
It would be cool to see a GBU featuring three _awesome_ comics. The one I have in mind is GOOD comic adaptations of movies (specifically _2001: A Space Odyssey_ by Jack Kirby, _Alien_ by Archie Goodwin & Walt Simonson, & _Bram Stoker's Dracula_ by Mike Mignola).
Must have slid into another universe, I swear the thumbnail was different this morning
Great episode, hadn't hadn't laughed that hard in a while, loved the Tiff rap!
Always a great episode of GBU when I want to go out and read more from the series that were covered.
Perfect end to a busy work day, got my coke zero on the rocks, lets watch a GBU!

Intro goes bang!

Love the multiple camera angles in this. I may be late in catching this but It feels cool and high in prod-value. Love seeing you guys grow!

I tried reading Spider-Girl back in the day, and I liked "Mayday" as a character, but I just couldn't get into that art, so I didn't read it for long.
I absolutely love the Latour/Rodriguez/Renzi run of Spider-Gwen!!
It was kinda the opposite for me. I couldnt get into the art in Spider-Gwen
@@sarsfien8625 That's totally fair, Rodriguez has a very distinct style.
But it's a distinct style I enjoy, which is why I followed him to Valiant and collected The Harbinger, and I'm continuing to buy Batgirls because Rodriguez is illustrating this new story arc.
Funny to think that Gwen only ever gets a chance to shine in the universes that Peter Parker dies in, ala this one and the Age of Apocalypse.
Edge of Spider-Verse with the debut was great, but the actual series wasn’t.
So wait, 3 Spider-women and none of them is Jessica Drew?! lol
Yeah,was kind of expecting her too. Still a fun episode. And I just barely remember the Spider-Woman cartoon from the 70's.
12:00 that’s like new Coke personified
This was a rare GBU where the problem is deciding which is the good one lol. And the ugly even had potential
Looking back through Spider-Girl issue one, and I kinda don't like the art. I was thinking Bagley had done that book for some reason, and this other guy's work doesn't hold up quite as well as I expected. Fantastic story though. Spider-Gwen might have a less tight story, but the art is dope. Also, screw the code.
Hey guys I'm Frank I created a comic book called SheDevil: daughter of the daredevil that I want to send you but where exactly.
I'd read a one shot were mj is spider woman like gwen
GBU!!!!
losing it at "he's blond...but outgoing"
heck yes!!!lets go
single mom spider woman sounds like another spider character who's name is also Jessica xp

Spider Gwen is just absolutely dull, the only thing she has going for her is the costume.
