Women Wednesday: Spider-Gwen: Smash #1 and #2 Covers

I missed out on Spider-Gwen: Smash #1 last month, which is a shame for it's actually pretty good. On Earth-65, teenage Gwen Stacy is the drummer for the all-girl band known as The Mary Janes when she's not in costume as Ghost-Spider. They have been asked to go on tour with Dazzler and the Uncut Gems (yes, they do appear in this issue). Rick Jones is the guitarist for Dazzler's band and he hulks out.

Dazzler appears with Ghost-Spider aka Spider-Gwen on the cover of Spider-Gwen: Smash #2, which hits the newsstands today:

Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #11: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends

The eleventh sticker in the Marvel Super Hero Adventures set is what I call Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. Peter Parker aka Spider-Man is shown with Miles Morales aka Ultimate Spider-Man on one side and Gwen Stacy aka Spider[Gwen on the other side. The background graphics of the city buildings and black spider is pretty cool too. The other thing cooler would have been to seen Spider-Man's original amazing friends, which were Firestar and Iceman.

Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #10: Spider-Man and the Avengers

There are a lot of characters on this Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #10: Spider-Man and the Avengers. There is Spider-Man and his amazing friends, Gwen Stacey aka Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales aka the Ultimate Spider-Man. The Avengers are represented by the Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Antman, Ms. Marvel, Wasp and Iron Man. Whew, that's a lot of characters for a vending machine sticker based on a Disney cartoon series.

I found this free Vudu Valentines offer in my inbox earlier today. You fill out a form to send a free movie themed Valentine’s Day card by mail. You must make your request by February 9 to get it mailed out in time. Besides the Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse card, you can also choose from John Wick, Pennywise, Joker, Pikachu and more. Here's a screenshot of the card featuring Peter Parker without his Spider-Man mask, Gwen Stacy as Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales:

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2020 Day 4: Marvel Spider-Man 32 Valentines

This box of Marvel Spider-Man 32 Valentines was also picked up at the local Dollar General last week for a dollar. The contents include four strips of eight cards and a sheet of red heart-shaped stickers. The front of the box shows Spider-Man getting ready to shoot his webbing at you:

I like this set and was surprised by the guest appearance of Spider-Gwen and the Miles Morales. I was glad that no villains appeared in this set even though I wouldn't mind seeing Black Cat pop up.
