Spider-Gwen goes to a lab run by a doctor named Lyla and her husband Lee to fight the Sinister Six from Earth-616. In the process, Gwen sends the Sinister-Six back and causes the lab to blow, killing Lee and injuring Lyla. Lyla uses her work to clone a Spider-Gwen with each member of the Sinister Six and bring Spider-Gwen to Lyla along with a quantum box. When Gwen meets up with Gwen Ock, she realizes she isn't from another Earth, but a clone being controlled by a halo on the back of her neck. Gwen removes the one on Gwen Ock, along with Sand Gwen, whom she meets later. With the help of twelve-year-old Reed Richards, they discover that someone is cloning Gwens for a reason that is a mystery to them.
I really enjoyed this book, which featured so many cool Gwens. Gwen really feels like she can't get close to anyone, lest they get hurt because of her, even the cloned Gwens. She's been avoiding dating a guy she really likes. She's keeping her distance from her roomie and former bandmate, MJ. Emily Kim has written an interesting story that entangles you in its web. The artwork is stellar, as each Gwen is created to be a mix with the Sinister Six, so it's like a new Gwen Stacey, with Gwen's memories. There is another graphic novel featuring Gwen fighting variants, called Gwen-Verse. It was published before this one and is mentioned. After this book, I'm eager to read it too.
