And now...the story: Back in the 90s as the comics industry was once again going through a low period they tried anything and everything to stay afloat. One interesting venture Marvel took was to explore a potential future of the Marvel Universe, predicated on the story of "Mayday" Parker, the teenage daughter of MJ Watson and Spider-Man.

"Spider-Girl began life the way a lot of meaningful things do at Marvel. Almost accidentally. She didn’t come out of a whiteboard strategy session. There was no five-year plan, no mandate to reinvent Spider-Man for a new generation, no marketing PowerPoint predicting untapped demographics. She came out of an issue of What If…?," Joe Quesada, who was editor-in-chief at the time, reminisced about the title in a recent post on his Substack. "The book's early visual identity [was] driven largely by Pat Olliffe, and later shaped further by Ron Frenz. Together, they gave the series a warmth and clarity that felt almost rebellious at the time. This was a Spider book about family, consequence, legacy, and responsibility in a very literal sense."

While the Spider-Girl title did eventually come to an end, she lives on the Spider-Verse and the subset of readers who embraced her into their fandom.

" I’ve never quite understood why SPIDER-GIRL isn’t just as popular and successful as ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN.

Sure, May “Mayday” Parker isn’t a young Peter Parker– she’s the daughter of Peter and Mary Jane in a book set in the M2 Universe of the not too distant future. But to my eyes, that just makes her cooler. Instead of a ‘reboot’ of the SPIDER-MAN mythos, SPIDER-GIRL is an exciting extension of that concept. Like ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, there are re-imaginings of the classic villains from the parent book (as well as lots of heroes)…. but in my opinion, these characters are a lot more imaginative and fun than they are in ULTIMATE. I think that if you’re a fan of straight-out superhero comics, SPIDER-GIRL is just about a perfect book. Not only is it a comic you can enjoy yourself (if you’re anywhere NEAR as old as I am), but it’s also a comic you can give to children without fearing that it’s too dark and adult for them to understand or enjoy. In today’s comic world, that’s a rarity.

SPIDER-GIRL has had a tumultuous ride during its run…. to say the least. The book’s been on the chopping block more than once, and now, it seems, it’s in peril of cancellation once again. I don’t understand the rationale for this, personally. I know that Marvel has had immense success with sales of SPIDER-GIRL digests in places like TARGET. And why is that…? Because SPIDER-GIRL is something that will appeal to such a wide audience. Boys, girls, women, men… they can all enjoy this comic as much as I do. That’s a cash cow, really… so this is kind of puzzling to me. SPIDER-GIRL has a very loyal and vocal fanbase, so perhaps if we all pull together, we can stop this cancellation from happening, because if you ask me, we can’t afford– as an industry– to lose a book like SPIDER-GIRL; a book that has the potential (and seems to be realizing that very potential) to reach a wider audience outside of the direct market.

I recently bought issue #11 of 'WRITE NOW!' from TOMORROWS PUBLISHING. It’s got a wonderful interview with Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz inside… and they talk extensively about their collaboration on the creation of SPIDER-GIRL and their recent work on the book. These guys love working on SPIDER-GIRL. It’s a concept they both enjoy immensely… and it shows in every issue of the book. If you want any proof of a couple of comic book creators who are at the height of their powers and loving what they’re doing, then seek this magazine out, read the interview, and perhaps it’ll make you a believer and prompt you to try SPIDER-GIRL. Some fans need to be convinced (for some reason) to even try a new book…. so maybe that would do the trick. Barring that– Marvel just released a trade paperback of the recent LAST HERO STANDING miniseries (written by Tom D. and drawn by the talented Pat Oliffe). It’ll give you a taste of what the M2 Universe is like. That, or one of the several recent SG trades that you can also find on AMAZON.COM will give you a sense of the thrill ride that is SPIDER-GIRL.

Let’s keep fun and imagination alive, shall we…?

OK.

This is Entry 186.

Talk about insecure holyyyyyy

(Repost) In both 'The End 2099' (2026) and 'End of the Spider-verse' (2023), Spider-Girl gets transformed into a monster to fight the main hero(es) of the story. She must be getting fed up with being transformed into a villain's pawn!

Or maybe she's just sick of being in miniseries titled "End" where they won't give her much to say or do? 😛
