The first appearance of a character in comic book form is often the most valuable issue featuring that character. It's a nice place to get started in Spider-Gwen, if it's within your budget.

Series beginnings are always great places to get started in comic books. Here is the Main Publication History for Spider-Gwen comic books. Spider-Gwen originated out of the SPIDER-VERSE storyline from 2014-15, and was so popular, she earned her own self-titled series and an integral member of the then budding Spider-Verse. The Sony animated film SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE has breathed fresh interest into Spider-Gwen's popularity with a new ongoing series.

In modern comic publishing, it's common (and expected) for individual comic book issues to be collected into compilations of trade paperbacks and/or hardcovers, as well as other special compilations. Unlike the individual source issues, the collected editions typically stay in print for long periods and are less 'collectible.' If individual issues are out of reach or are not of interest to you or if you just need reading copies, the following collected editions of Spider-Gwen comic books are the most recent in-print editions and are the perfect alternative to get started right away with Spider-Gwen. The following compilations are presented in a chronologically-based suggested reading order with softcover editions before any hardcover editions (unless the only in-print editions are hardcover--these are integrated into the softcover list).

You can read everything with Spider-Gwen in it in the chronological order presented below, or you could start at one of the relaunches.
