And yes, it was supposed to be done and gone. She now has her own series because the one-shot was a surprise hit and the character is very popular on-line.

If i remember well since she was supposed to appear only in her one-shot (and maybe some other issues of the spider-verse arc), the artist choose something easy to draw and good looking.

The hood may not be pratical, but this Gwen is a teenager, so it is in-character, and so far she doesn't seem to have had problem with it.

I'll probably get the on-going too.
