Tom DeFalco: In your mind, was Gwen still alive until her neck snapped?
Gerry Conway: "Could be! Honestly, I don't know — I'm not sure why I added that sound effect, or what I meant to accomplish; as I say, it was the result of a subconscious decision. Consciously, I've always thought that she was already dead when Spider-Man caught her. But if that's true, why did I put the 'SNAP' in? What was the purpose of it? Spider-Man couldn't hear it. It was strictly for the audience. What was I trying to say? That 'SNAP' came from a pure artistic impulse. It was not calculated or part of a master plan to mess with the readers' heads...That said, I'd sure like to believe she was already dead."
Initially it was seemingly intended by the writers that she die when GG knocked her off, but this "mistake" ends up adding quite a different look at it.

Who is Gwenpool?
First off, despite the name "Gwenpool," the character has no relation to either Deadpool or Gwen Stacy. It is revealed in her first comic appearance that her name is actually Gwendolyn “Gwen” Poole. Got it? Good. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the facts…
In June 2015, following the popularity of Spider-Gwen, all Marvel titles being published had alternate covers with Gwen Stacy reimagined as other characters, such as Doctor Strange, Groot and Wolverine. One of those was Deadpool, featured on Chris Bachalo's variant cover for Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars #2. After seeing how many fans were cosplaying as a character who was not even featured in any comic, Marvel editor Jordan White approached writer Christopher Hastings with the task of creating a story around her. Initially the plan was to do one-shot comic Gwenpool Holiday Special #1 (December 2015), which was then followed by introducing the character prior to the special with a three-issue backup story in the ongoing volume of Howard the Duck (November 2015-January 2016). After a meeting with White and Howard the Duck editor Will Moss, Hastings came out with the idea of a fourth wall-breaking character similar to Deadpool, explaining the contrast between the two characters was that, with Gwen, “it comes from this place of knowing she is in a comic book because she is from a world where the comic books actually exist", which would also lead to a Deadpool-like cavalier attitude "because she doesn’t believe there are any consequences to her actions, and she decides to use that [comic book] knowledge like she’s in Grand Theft Auto or something,” although Gwenpool lacked any of the training or superpowers Deadpool had.
The Howard the Duck arc was drawn by Brazilian artist Danilo Beyruth, and the holiday special had art from Japanese duo Gurihiru. Once Marvel decided to make a Gwenpool ongoing series (named The Unbelievable Gwenpool), starting in April 2016, Hastings asked for Gurihiru's return to the artwork team. The series was cancelled after issue #25 despite moderately decent sales numbers.
Gwen Poole originally lived in a universe not unlike ours, a place where all super-heroes and super-villains were fictional characters that manifested through comic books, movies, and other media. Gwe
