I have gotten the nod that Marvel will be launching a new Gwenpool series written by Cavan Scott, with issue #1 scheduled for May. That's all I know for creative teams, which is more than I have had for Spider-Girl and Emma Frost: White Queen, also all launching new series. But I do know that Gwenpool #1 will have variant covers by Godtail, Greg Land, Gurihiri, Jeehyung Lee, Paco Medina and Todd Nauck.

UPDATE: Marvel Comics has Rich Twitched and confirmed the news in a press release.

"This May, Cavan Scott and Stefano Nesi launch a new 'Gwenpool' comic book series that introduces a twisted new take on the fan-favorite hero by Marvel. Her death is the most heart-wrenching moment in comic book history. Her return will be the most outrageous! Teased last week, prepare for the unthinkable with the resurrection of GWEN STACY! The mad men responsible are New York Times bestselling author Cavan Scott (STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC) and rising star artist Stefano Nesi, who will bring back Spider-Man's first love as a coldblooded killer this May in a new GWENPOOL series! Gwen Stacy returns as the darker, deadlier, and even more unhinged GWENPOOL, and who better to help Spidey navigate this soul-crushing revelation than the medium-shattering, attention-seeking Marvel Comics superfan that is the original Gwenpool! It's a wild team-up as the pair race to solve this unhinged mystery before it's too late—because Gwendolye Poole knows better than anyone that there's definitely not enough page time for two Gwenpools!"

GWENPOOL IS BACK AND MORE DANGEROUS THAN EVER!
Everyone's favorite reality-twister's life is changing. A grittier doppelganger is bringing her own brand of hyper-violent justice to a battle-strewn NYC! Who is this dark Gwenpool? And what does she want with the Amazing Spider-Man? Kate Bishop and Jeff the Land Shark guest-star in a comic series that will shock you to your core!

"On the bold decision to resurrect Gwen, Scott said, "What an absolute honor! To tear both Gwenpool AND Spider-Man's worlds apart? Yes please! Gwen Stacy is back from the grave and deadlier than ever. Weapon-X style abilities? Check. A line in killer put-downs? You've got it. This is NOT the Gwen you remember. But just who is behind her miraculous resurrection? And what has happened to the original Gwenpool's usually careful existence? Add Kate Bishop and Jeff the Land Shark to the mix and you have the Marvel series of my dreams!" The series marks the Marvel Comics debut of artist Stefano Nesi, known for his acclaimed recent work on Batman. "I couldn't ask for a better partner than Stefano Nesi on art!" Scott continued. "Mega-violence has never been so much fun, each frenzied attack brought to dark, brooding life by Matt Milla's blistering colors. Monsters, mayhem and murder await as Spider-Man and Kate learn that nothing—or no one—is sacred!"

You can catch up with some of my other Marvel Comics announcement leaks today right here:

Gwenpool was created by Christopher Hastings, Heather Antos and Jordan D. White for Howard the Duck in 2015, based on a Chris Bachalo cover for Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars. After seeing how many fans were cosplaying as a character who was not even featured in any comic, the plan was to create a story around her, wholly unrelated in backstory to either Deadpool or Gwen Stacy, and thus keeping her film and television rights at Marvel Studios, instead of at 20th Century Fox or Sony Pictures. Gwen Poole was a young woman from the real world who was transported to the Marvel Universe. Unwilling to be an "extra" in the Marvel world, she went to a tailor for superheroes and requested her own costume.  Upon gaining the ability to manipulate the borders of the fourth wall in an attempt to return her to reality, allowing her to travel in time, Gwen retcons the Marvel Universe into believing her to be a mutant after being given the idea by Kamala Khan, allowing her to enter the gates of Krakoa.  Gwenpool is one of the first openly aromantic asexual superheroes in American comic books and the first openly asexual or aromantic character to come out in a book published by Marvel Comics. Joining the West Coast Avengers, she is also the owner of Jeff The Land Shark, which has given her new prominence with the success of the Jeff comics. I presume we will also see plenty of Jeff The Land Shark in any new Gwenpool comic book series.
