The Marvel TL;DR web series recaps the first Gwenpool Holiday Special, in which she is voiced by Brenna Hines. But her attention-seeking journey from mercenary to Avenger (okay, West Coast, but still) is complicated when she learns how to manipulate the comic books she herself appears in! As her continuity dramas get ever more convoluted, will Gwen go bigor go home? The West Coast Avengers" 1-10 by Kelley Thomson, Stefano Caselli - This was not my bag. I was offput by the quantity of forced romance, where seemingly every character is dating another with little development put into relationships outside of physical intimacy. The characters on the whole feel very one note (with perhaps Kate / Hawkeye being the only exception) and Gwen is especially underwhelming being reduced to nothing more than a source of quippy, sarcastic one-liners. The humor on the whole fell really flat for me and given that was a large focus of the series the title was a slog to read, proving the adage 'nothing is worse than bad comedy'. I did like the overall plot trajectory and some of the set-pieces were pretty entertaining (especially the Kaiju battle of the first storyline) but overall the series was pretty underwhelming. 6.5/10 Chrysostomou, George (2022-03-25).

I really loved the Unbelievable Gwenpool issues, drawn by Gurihiro! It was a pity that that arc ends about two thirds through this massive tome. Would really have loved to see that story continue further (e.g. what happened to Teddy?). Superfan becomes super hero! Gwen Poole was an avid comic book reader - until she found herself transported into the Marvel Universe! Now, surrounded by characters that she knows everything about - including their secret identities! - and fully aware of the tropes of super hero storytelling, Gwen is determined not to be an ‘extra’ in this brave new world.

In the end during a conversation with Kamala Khan she is retconned to be a Mutant, she then ends up in Krakoa where she finally gets to continue existing. Deadpool (2019) Four stars for West Coast Avengers, which somehow manages to add the horny woke energy of Kelly Thompson to the lovable misfit charm of Gwenpool, but also has a lot of unrelated unfunny nonsense. The usual assortment of spinoffs and guest appearances are fine too I guess. Props to Christos Gage for stepping way outside his usual oeuvre and doing a decent Gwenpool.

So far however they only seem to remember her in her actual presence and she has surprisingly not yet got a main nemesis, though she tried to make Dr. Doom into one and ended up befriending him instead. None of them believe Gwen when she tells them she is in a comic and Ms. Marvel even suggested she might be a reality altering mutant, ending in Gwen getting rewritten into that role, even though Gwen does not really believe it and only accepted it because it opened up a lot of paths for her comic to continue. According to Diamond Comic Distributors, Gwenpool Holiday Special #1 was the 16th best selling comic book in December 2015. [62] [63] [64]

Success!

Jim Johnson of Comic Book Resources described Gwenpool Holiday Special #1 as a "funny and whimsical holiday one-shot," asserting, "Beyruth's art is the most traditional of this comic's artistic talent, but it readily carries the comedy of Duggan's script with seemingly little effort. Duggan's story also has a sappy but likeable sugary Christmas ending, and even serves as one of the feature's final laughs. Lastly, "Gwenpool's Holiday Adventure" by Christopher Hastings and Gurihiru is a delightfully whimsical story that defies any kind of believability, but that's just fine. Armed with all the skills a partially-viewed YouTube how-to video can supply, Gwenpool goes up against a villain who's more akin to an evil version of the genie in Disney's "Aladdin" than any kind of real threat, but—as scripted by Hastings and illustrated by Gurihiru with a touch of manga influence—the story is too much fun not to like. "Gwenpool Special" #1 isn't taken over by Gwenpool, like Kris Anka's rendering of the character on this comic's cover would indicate, but that's no issue, as the creators involved collectively make Christmastime for Marvel fans a little more enjoyable."

West Coast Avengers" isn't a bad series, and it works well as a follow-up to the Kate Bishop "Hawkeye" series (by the same writer). However, reading the whole series in one go makes me notice the dangling plot threads which never got resolved. As a Gwenpool story, it's not particularly significant, except for her romance with Quentin Quire. Gwenpool has been described as one of Marvel's most notable and powerful female heroes.
