In Spider-Gwen on Earth 65 (an alternate universe) things are different. Gwendolyne Stacy is the web slinging hero we all know and love. And Samantha Wilson is the black woman Captain America (which is lit). But that was just for set up. What’s most important is that in this universe Donald Trump isn’t the Republican presidential nominee.
On Earth 65, Trump is a super villain instead.
Obviously, it’s not really Trump (but it is). Instead, the story writer Jason Latour went with the acronym M.O.D.A.A.K (a hilarious take on the classic villain M.O.D.O.K). What does it stand for, you ask? M.O.D.A.A.K means Mental Organism Designed As America’s King. You really can’t get more nudge-and-a-wink than that, can you?
The Trump stump’s goal isn’t very different from real life, but luckily Samantha Wilson is there to to deliver his fade. I would show you, but that would pretty much defeat the purpose of comics being for sale. If you’re the homie, I’ll let you borrow it sometime.
Here’s a gif in place of my reaction to Donald Trump getting whooped.
This issue also features the band Gwen is in, The Mary Janes, as well appearances from the villain known as Spider-Ham (you read that right) and She-Hulk. It’s very lit. Not to mention that the team working on this book paid an homage to Beyoncé’s Lemonade (a bat is involved). There’s enough exciting pop culture references in this thing to go around.
Spider-Gwen Annual #1 did us all a giant favor, and Samantha Wilson really came through in the clutch – because black women are magic. What more could you really ask for from a Marvel comic? In my opinion, not much.
