The Unbelievable Gwenpool was one of the first comic series' I read, and so far it is by far my favorite. The story doesn't take itself to seriously most of the time, and when it does it is always executed well, like the end of Unbelievable Gwenpool and in Gwenpool strikes back. Gwenpool is usually a very funny character (depending on the comics author), and Christopher Hastings did a great job of esablishing the character and creating a great series, even for people like myself who are new to comic books.
