Collects Edge of Spider-Verse (2014) #2; Spider-Gwen (2015A) #5; Spider-Gwen (2015B) #1-2, 13. The Marvel-Verse is full of danger for Spider-Gwen! What if Gwen Stacy was bitten by the radioactive spider, not Peter Parker? Find out on Earth-65! There, Gwen is the spectacularly misunderstood Spider-Woman - and she's wanted for Peter's death! And that's bad news, especially since Gwen's dad is a cop! When a Lizard-like menace runs amok, it brings back painful memories for Gwen - but will Captain America's mighty shield inflict new ones? Web-slinging doesn't leave much time for Gwen to play drums with her band, the Mary Janes - but when she does, they rock hard! And their rivals, Felicia Hardy and the Black Cats, are about to find out just how hard! Then, on Halloween, the Mary Janes share a night to remember - courtesy of Mysterio!
Jason Latour’s kinetic brand of art has appeared in Marvel titles including Daredevil: Black and White, I Am an Avenger, Wolverine and Captain America. He illustrated the noir graphic novel Noche Roja from Vertigo, as well as B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth: The Pickens County Horror from Dark Horse, and collaborated with Jason Aaron on Scalped. Latour also drew the comic-book adaptation of Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. His parallel writing career began with the creator-owned Loose Ends and continued with stories in the Marvel series Untold Tales of Punisher MAX and A+X. Latour stepped into Ed Brubaker’s shoes to continue the adventures of Winter Soldier and took on Wolverine and the X-Men. His introduction of Spider-Gwen during the Spider-Verse event resulted in a smash-hit spin-off series.

Artist Robbi Rodriguez made his debut in 2005 on Image Comics' Hero Camp, later illustrating such Image titles as Night Club, 24Seven and Hazed. Subsequent credits include Stephen Colbert's Tek Jansen and the Harvey Award-nominated Maintenance, both published by Oni Press. His early Marvel contributions included issues of titles such as New Mutants and Wolverine and the X-Men before he wowed readers with Spider-Gwen.
