In Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #12, Gwen Stacy is in for a wild ride as she teams up with Loki for an epic cosmic adventure. Written by Stephanie Phillips and featuring art by Von Randal, this issue introduces a brand-new space suit for Gwen as she leaves her home dimension behind.
Marvel teases some big surprises, including new revelations about Gwen’s powers and Loki’s mysterious role in all of this. Is he really helping her, or is there more to his plan? Fans won’t have to wait too long to find out—this issue drops on April 9, 2025.
Let’s take a closer look at this exciting story and what it means for Ghost-Spider.
Background on Spider-Gwen
Gwen Stacy, also known as Spider-Gwen or Ghost-Spider, comes from Earth-65, a totally different universe where she got bitten by a radioactive spider. This gave her awesome spider-like powers, but things didn’t go great for her friend Peter Parker.
In her world, he turns into the Lizard and ends up dying, which makes people see Spider-Woman as the bad guy. Her dad, Captain George Stacy of the NYPD, is put in charge of catching her, not knowing she’s actually his daughter.
When Gwen finally tells him the truth, he decides to support her instead.
She first showed up in Edge of Spider-Verse #2 (2014), and fans loved her so much that she got her own series and became a big part of Marvel’s multiverse stories.
Synopsis of Issue #12

Just as she starts to piece things together, Loki shows up with an offer she can’t ignore—an adventure across the Marvel Universe.
As they jump from one world to the next, Gwen begins to wonder what Loki is really up to and whether she’s ready for the surprises waiting ahead.
