Today's biggest comic book news:
Gwenpool's back!
https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/0...ut-new-gwenpool-series-dont-trust-the-solicit
For those who haven't met her yet:
Gwendolyn "Gwen" Poole isan Era member a comic book fan from the real world, who got into the Marvel Universe.
Her powers were at the beginning total comic book knowledge and trivia, but she started using her medium awareness to alter the plot; while still being limited by editorial influence and such.
She knows there are readers so she breaks the fourth wall unabashedly, she is able to skip panels and pages, interact with onomatopeias and speech bubbles, etc. Probably even overanalyzes the sales figures by Diamond! :p
But most importantly, she started to care about her place in the Marvel Universe and her supporting cast; a solitary person in the real world now she has a place to call home...
SO NOW...!
A brand new 5-issue mini-series starts this August, written by Leah Williams and drawn by David Baldeon.
From the writer's Twitter:
The ultimate Gen-Z comic book hero arrives! :v
Are you ready Era!?

POOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!
That's right — everyone's favorite comics-fan-turned-comics character is back, and this time, she's playing for keeps! Gwen Poole is desperate not to disappear into comic book limbo, so she's going to make an impact on the Marvel Universe! First up: Unmask Spider-Man! And heck, maybe see if she can get some real super-powers while she's at it!
First appearing on a variant cover for Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars #2, Gwenpool has become something of a cult character for Marvel. She received her own series, The Unbelievable Gwenpool, in 2016. That comic ran until 2018.
