Gwen Stacy just became one with an impossibly powerful artifact, and it could mean the beginning of a whole new Marvel Universe.

Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #11 picks up shortly after Fabian LaMuerto, the heir to the mantle of Black Tarantula, was tragically shot leaping in front of a bullet fired by his own father. Fortunately, there is someone capable of healing those wounds, although King Loki’s help won’t come cheap. As it turns out, King Loki has a very specific mission that he needs Gwen’s help in carrying out. And, while she is more than willing to see it through, she isn’t about to let a Multiversal Trickster God get his hands on a Cosmic Cube when she could instead safeguard that power within herself.

Despite having vastly different outlooks, and subsequently missions, there was an obvious spark between Spider-Gwen and the latest Black Tarantula from the moment he made his proper Marvel Comics debut in the pages of 2024’s Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #5 by Stephanie Phillips and Paolo Villanelli. While Gwen knew the Black Tarantula as a costumed criminal from her encounters with him under her guise as the Ghost-Spider, she also knew Fabian personally as a coffee shop crush. It wasn’t until recently that she discovered his true identity, which ramped up tensions between the two leading up to his near-demise.

The Trickster God known as King Loki hails from the reality of Earth-14412, which shares much the same history as that of the primary Marvel Universe, up through Loki’s time working at the behest of the All-Mother of Asgardia. After centuries of saving the world and single-handedly striking down threats such as the Ultron Singularity, this Loki was finally freed from his servitude to the All-Mother. Unfortunately, this still wasn’t enough to rewrite his legacy, driving Loki to his breaking point and pushing him to strike down everyone and anyone who stood in his way. Though King Loki would ultimately redeem himself with a moment of absolute self-sacrifice, the time leading up to that moment is still full of room for further stories to be told.

The Scarlet Witch’s Kid Sidekick Finally Learns Her Shocking Cosmic Origin Story

The truth behind the origin of the Scarlet Witch’s young protégé could have major implications for the future of the entire Marvel Universe.

The reality-altering artifacts known as Cosmic Cubes have been a part of the overarching Marvel mythos since as far back as 1966’s Tales of Suspense #79. The closing story from this landmark issue, “The Red Skull Lives!” by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, marked the first appearance of a Cosmic Cube in the pages of Marvel Comics. Since then, all manner of heroes and villains have employed Cosmic Cubes to slightly alter and even entirely rewrite reality. Cosmic Cubes have also taken on a sentience of their own on numerous occasions, with the most prominent of these being Kobik, who was tricked into helping Hydra recreate reality in the image of the Red Skull.

Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #11 is available now from Marvel Comics.
