  Gwen is caught up in the Knull symbiote invasion and tries to save her roommates. Unsuccessful, detected by Knull and finding herself in trouble, Gwen tries to use her teleporter necklace. The teleport goes wrong and instead brings Mary Jane to Earth-616. Knull takes advantage and bonds Mary Jane to his most favoured child.

Publisher’s description

Bonded to a synthetic symbiote from another reality, GHOST-SPIDER, aka Gwen Stacy of Earth-65, is unique among the webslingers of the multiverse! But when KNULL descends on her adopted home, his gravity well of dark psychic energy will reap unforeseen consequences not only on Gwen, but on her symbiotic suit as well!
