Marvel Comics has teased a shocking new storyline featuring Gwen Stacy, one of Spider-Man’s most tragic and iconic characters.
A cryptic teaser image released by Marvel shows someone digging up Gwen’s grave, accompanied by the ominous message: “Nothing is sacred.”
The teaser also points to a May 2025 release, leaving fans wondering—what is Marvel planning this time?
Gwen Stacy’s Long History of Returns
Gwen Stacy’s death in The Amazing Spider-Man #121 remains one of the most impactful moments in comic book history.
While superhero deaths are often temporary, Marvel has largely kept Gwen’s original fate intact—though they have revisited it multiple times.
In The Amazing Spider-Man #144, a Gwen lookalike appeared, only to be revealed as a clone created by the villainous Jackal.
The Clone Conspiracy event in 2016 brought Gwen back once again, only for her to be exposed as another duplicate. More recently, in 2022’s Judgment Day crossover, Gwen’s soul briefly returned to say a final goodbye to Peter Parker.
Now, with Marvel’s latest teaser, fans are left guessing: will this be yet another clone, a multiversal twist, or something completely different?
Why Is Marvel Bringing Gwen Back Now?
This teaser arrives at a crucial time for The Amazing Spider-Man. The series, which has faced controversy in recent years—especially over its handling of Peter Parker and Mary Jane’s relationship—has struggled to maintain its usual dominance in comic sales.
Meanwhile, Ultimate Spider-Man, written by Jonathan Hickman, has been performing exceptionally well.
With the upcoming relaunch of Amazing Spider-Man under Joe Kelly, John Romita Jr., and Pepe Larraz, Marvel may be using Gwen’s return as a way to reinvigorate interest in the title.
However, fans remain divided—should some stories stay untouched, or is there still more to explore in Gwen’s legacy?
Marvel plans to reveal more details about this mysterious storyline next week. Until then, fans can only speculate about what’s really buried in Gwen Stacy’s grave.
