Gwenpool, the Unbelievable, Vol. 4: Beyond the Fourth Wall
by Christopher Hastings
Gwenpool remains a fun series if nothing else.
This time it goes real meta. Gwen's brother comes into the comic world to reset, and retcon her story. So we have a brand new Origin story for Gwenpool unlike anything of the past few volumes. In doing so Gwen becomes very self-aware and things become even more insane. The biggest of big bads comes into play and then Gwenpool must figure out who she truly is to shape the future.
Good: The art is still really good, colorful, and fun. I think the humor is always well done, making me smile throughout. It's extremely meta, but not as over the top as Deadpool, but in a charming way. I really liked the stuff with her brother trying to fix things.
Bad: The main villain here has been done a million times. Yes, it's supposed to be a commentary on how it's being done but it's again, really boring way to drive the point home of who you MIGHT become.
Overall still fun. It's a shame this series is coming to a end in the next volume. I always enjoy reading it and while I believe it has it's issues it's super fun new character. I'm always sad to see them go. A 3.5 out of 5.
