There was some discussion about how Silk might be a better buy over Spider-Gwen in terms of longevity and popularity. I thought about this for awhile and had come to the conclusion that while this is comparing apples to oranges the reality is that Spider-Gwen might be the bigger winner.
For starters, she has a 1st app that has been seeing prices reach $40-50 in NM with no signs of slowing down. I can't say the same is true for Spider-Man #4 or Original Sin #4. Also, the Spider-Gwen series is being made due to fans outpouring while the Silk series I believe had already been planned. Furthermore, Gwen has more history with the Spider fans than Silk and for that reason alone I find her to be a much more interesting character within the spider-verse.
I'm not saying that Silk won't have her day in the sun but from what I can see, her and Peter have a sexually charged relationship but beyond that she hasn't really been developed to encompass decades of history and a special relationship with the reader.
So while I hope both character succeed in their new series and have the female and male readership en masse, I have faith that Spider-Gwen has more going for her than Silk. But again, that's like comparing apples and oranges.
What's your opinion?
