This commission for Alex Baker stars Marvel's Gwenpool, a character I wasn't initially familiar with, but upon looking her up online I found her origin pretty interesting. Apparently after the success of Spider Gwen, Marvel did a run of gag covers featuring Gwen Stacy re-imagined as other super heroes, and the Deadpool version went over so well they made a real comic about the idea. It's a fun concept too. In this version, Gwen travels to the Marvel universe from our reality, resulting in an attitude where she believes everything around her isn't real and she can do whatever she wants without consequences. I thought that was a clever way of imbuing her with Deadpool's disregard for safety and fourth wall breaking humor without just copying it directly.
That's how I interpreted it anyway, if there's more to Gwenpool I'm missing let me know in the comments!
