Michele Gonzales

A sharp, memorable presence who burst onto the Modern Age Marvel scene in 2009, Michele Gonzales made her debut in Spider-Man: Red-Headed Stranger courtesy of Fred Van Lente and Barry Kitson, landing right in the thick of one of Spider-Man's most storied corners of the Marvel Universe. Her 26 catalogued appearances — spread across The Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man: The Gauntlet, and Web of Spider-Man — put her squarely in the company of Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson, and J. Jonah Jameson, as compelling a roster of Spider-Man supporting players as you'll find. With a key issue already to her name despite a relatively compact run, she's the kind of character that rewards collectors who dig into the rich supporting cast that makes Spidey's world feel genuinely alive. If you love the human drama woven through the web-slinging, Michele Gonzales is well worth seeking out.
