Oh nice. Thanks OP. Love this series.

One of my favorite covers from Unbelievable, it's shame the two couldn't come to an agreement

As I said before I like how Batroc is 100% willing to turn in Gwen for being a fraud, not immediately sympathetic, and Gwen has to convince him to give her a chance with her meta-knowledge. It feels more earned this way. I feel like Batroc still isn't completely convinced she isn't crazy but it's just enough to pique his curiosity and not tattle on her.

M.O.D.O.K. is a bad person but a good boss, very responsible making sure everything is on record for bookkeeping.

Love Ronnie looking out for Gwen early on. She's still stern/making Gwen work for her money but I think she gets how Gwen's in over her head and offers help in ways only she can. Also in retrospect I imagine she feels somewhat responsible given, as she herself said, is enabling Gwen since the start by putting her costume on her.

M.O.D.O.K. severely overestimating Gwen is funny

Batroc coming around to being the other one to help give Gwen the legs she needs to stand on in this world. I think it's a fair progression where he's intrigued enough by her powers but still wants her to at least be able to handle a gun and combat basics, which Gwen herself will come to appreciate in time.
Also like how he is one of the first ones to buy into Gwen's belief she's in a comic book, it makes for some neat dialogue here about his role as the 'villain'. Given Batroc is the only character here (besides MODOK) with real history it makes sense to use him for this, and I like the introspection as to whether Captain America really has it any better as a hero in a never-ending struggle, which even Gwen seems to question

I like how Strange notes/interacts with Gwen's pink speech-bubbles. As Gwen would note later here her being an interdimensional immigrant it's cool to have the Sorcerer Supreme as a universal customs guy

I also like how Strange justifies his world being comic books and movies in Gwen's: considering what he's seen this is not that high up on the bizarre, and thinking his world is the one making impressions on Gwen's, rather than the other way around, is no less probable.

First snippets of Gwen's parents and her past. It's got a pretty melancholy feel to it reminding Gwen of all she left behind, and especially with Gwen thinking it'd be better if her family just forgot all about her. You go off of her initial attitude that Gwen just came to Marvel for fame and fun, but these pages add a lot of weight to that decision to abandon her previous life, and makes you curious if things were so bad there were other factors for leaving.

Equally sweet/concerning that Gwen carries Cecil's skull everywhere like that...

kek. I like the dynamic these two already have going

Gwen's first real test next issue. Thanks for continuing the storytime OP.

#3 shows Gwen isn't quite as alone as she initially thought and is a good pick-me-up from her low point in the last issue. I like how she manages to convince Batroc and slowly wins him over with taking her training seriously, and Ronnie comes through with introducing her to Strange to get her fully settled into 616, albeit with drawbacks. Batroc/Gwen's dialogue is fun, I like how he takes interest in Gwen's unique perception of him/the world and the comments about his role as a stereotypical 'le villain'. The highlight is definitely the first look into Gwen's past though, it'll be a while before we see more but it adds a somber layer to Gwen I think she benefits from, showing her choice to leave home may have been based on more complicated issues and making her grasp the ramifications of that choice.

Where does MODOK get his giant-sized prescription glasses?
