Spider-Gwen has gained a lot of popularity in the last couple of years due to speculation and media exposure. Spider-Gwen is known as Gwen Stacey in an alternative universe. Recently, in 2018, the character appeared in the animated film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, where her popularity and value grew tremendously. The likelihood of her character appearing in the animated sequel is almost guaranteed. Miles Morales, another character who appeared in the animated film, has seen his value and popularity rise tremendously due to the speculation rumors from Sony and Marvel. Many comic speculators believe Gwen has the same potential as Miles. Thus, her first appearance is the key book to grab before it explodes! Spider-Gwen made her first appearance in Edge of Spider-Verse #2. A very high-grade copy of the first print issue is very pricey, but late printings are available and cheaper with alternate color covers.
