I'd honestly give it a 3.5 but since I enjoyed it more than disliked it, I'ma throw up that 4 star.

So why did this work better than volume 0? Easy. It gave us a lot more of the positives I talked about in the first zero volume.

Gwen's interaction with her father, with Cap, with Harry are all well done. The best though is the conversation with Spider-women. She's been in it forever, the marvel universe, and it's nice to see Gwen new to this getting advice. Also the dreaded question, how was Gwen in the normal 616 universe. They handle that well.

Also the art is a nice upgrade. Everything looks solid, much better overall. The fights are also more excited, and watching the flashbacks don't look like a bunch of colors popping out at you to annoy the shit out of you.

The two negatives are Gwen isn't funny, or Spider-gwen isn't funny when in costume. There's no need to make her throw out jokes, she isn't Peter, she shouldn't act like him. The jokes almost never hit and easily the worst part of her character. Also one odd issue has terrible art, feeling very out of place, compared to the clean and nicely done 5 other issues.

So a nice upgrade from the last and will continue to read.
