Readers will already be aware of this, as five clones were on the cover (and heavily promoted in marketing as part of the story's premise, acknowledged in the title etc.).

The series stars the eponymous Characters/SpiderGwen, and is linked to the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse. However, whereas most Marvel stories are set on Earth-616, Gwen is based in the AlternateUniverse of Earth-65. In the main Marvel universe, Gwen Stacy was a love interest for Peter Parker, Spider-Man - and she died long ago, despite his attempts to save her. In this universe Gwen became the Spider-themed superhero Ghost Spider, and it's Peter who died.

Cloning Blues is about why being a clone sucks, not just the presence of clones. Expanded a bit. Roaring Rampage Of Revenge cut for the moment - issue #1 doesn't confirm that Lyla's the big bad - or even that Bennet is really dead - although both are implied. We never even see Lyla again after the prologue, so plenty of scope for a twist

Gwen occasionally travels between the alternate universes, as do some of the others characters she deals with. Earth-65 is normally quieter than the main Marvel universe, though, with fewer costumed heroes and villains. And when five of Spider-Man's Earth-616 enemies - Kraven, Rhino, Sandman, Doctor Octopus and the Vulture - reach Gwen's world, they cause havoc, with tragic consequences.

Months after they're defeated, Gwen finds that the battle's had other impacts as well - some unseen adversary has created clones of her, spliced with those villains, and those clones are coming after her...

!!''Spider-Gwen: Shadow Clones'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* CallBack: Gwen's last miniseries (''ComicBook/SpiderGwenGwenverse'') featured an AllianceOfAlternates due to a villain rewriting timelines and creating versions of Gwen merged with other well-known heroes. When she meets Gwen Ock she initially assumes she's dealing with another AlternateUniverse version of herself, and is surprised to discover that Gwen Ock's a clone.
* CollateralDamage: Gwen and the Vulture crash into Lyla and Bennet's lab during the prologue, causing havoc. Gwen moves the battle outside again, but doesn't notice that one of the Vulture's bombs is still in the room - it goes off a few seconds later, catching Bennet in the blast.
* VariantCover: The first issue has several variant covers in addition to the standard version.
