        SPIDER-GWEN: GHOST-SPIDER issue #1 comes out this Wednesday. It is my first ongoing Marvel title. That, alone, is sort of overwhelming for me. I mean, this is something I have wanted for literally 75% of my life.pic.twitter.com/sx89LoQed0

        But it's not just my first ongoing title. It's GWEN. I get to write for GWEN STACY.pic.twitter.com/mhyIyNle7L

        One of the weird effects of my having grown up as poor as I did is that my comic book education is a) weirdly patchy, and b) about ten-fifteen years "too old" for me. I couldn't afford new comics; I could afford comics at yard sales.

        As a kid, I was OBSESSED with Gwen Stacy. She was Spider-Man's girlfriend. She was blonde like me, but unlike most of the blondes in comics, she wasn't a secretary or a played-for-laughs "pretty airhead." She was a SCIENTIST. She liked MATH.

        (I grew up in the era of the blonde joke and the "I don't need to be smart if I'm pretty." Other kids assumed I was stupid because of my hair color. I latched onto Gwen like a sloth onto a weight-bearing tree.)

        And then they dropped her off a bridge. I learned heartbreak and betrayal from a Spider-Man comic. And while I always loved Peter Parker, at least a little, I never thought I'd want to play in his slice of the Marvel universe, because we were both still mourning Gwen.pic.twitter.com/k9cFmvZlXi

        We would have been bad for each other, is what I'm saying here. It's hard to be generous to a character, the way a creator needs to be, when you're still blaming them for making a mistake.

        The creation of Spider-Gwen was an air-punching "YES FINALLY" for me...but I never expected her to stick around. And then she stuck around, and @jasonlatour put her through her paces, and it was glorious. She was glorious.

        But all good things must end, and that includes even the best runs on superhero comics (R.I.P. Grant Morrison's X-Men). I figured Gwen would go back into the shadows for a while, maybe get a title in five or six years.

        Instead, I got a phone call. And they asked me a question. And my entire brain shut down for like, fifteen seconds.pic.twitter.com/CSxtpjCZdO

        Like, of all the questions I thought Marvel might someday ask me, "Do you want to write Gwen?" is...that was not on the list. Because I loved her so much, and she was gone, and she was never going to be mine to take care of, not even for a little while.

        So: This Wednesday. SPIDER-GWEN: GHOST-SPIDER #1 is coming to a comic book store near you. Gwen Stacy is coming home, with all of her web-slinging, ass-kicking heart. And I get to show you what she's doing.pic.twitter.com/ZLgwPeHXxr

        My run begins during the SPIDER-GEDDON event, but you can read it even if you're not following SPIDER-GEDDON; my editor and I have worked hard to make it as accessible as possible.

        Because this is a new beginning (new creative team, new title, new stage in Gwen's life), you can start here, or you can go back and read the absolutely amazing series that came before mine.

        The art @toherrys has been creating for us is breathtaking. I am so overjoyed by the team I get to work with, and I can't wait for you all to see it.

        Wednesday: the comic book store. Please pick up issue #1, if you can. Send the message that our girl is alive and well and in very good hands, because I want to keep her swinging for as long as I can convince them to let me.
