Comics Congradulations, Spider-Girl Fans!

[Cullen]

I hear the series is starting up again under a new title! While I've never liked the series, I find that this news cheers me up a great deal. Here's to the next hundred issues giving you more of the Spider-girl tales you love!

Info can be found here

Awesome! And Marvel is even SUPPORTING the book this time!

Then again, if they'd supported it and promoted it the first time around, it might still be selling well...


This is great news! Between this news, and the news of Marvel re-releasing Kraven's Last Hunt in a new Hardcover, That makes 2 things they've done in the last week that haven't pissed me off!

Quick question...well 2 actually

1/ Do we know if the new series will continue from where #100 left off (Haven't read #100 yet)

2/ I only started reading SG in the 90+......was the Baby May situation from ASM explained in earlier issues...that is, was it explained that she was kidnapped by Norman Osborn and then later taken by Kaine and were the motives for each of these addressed?

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

#2) It was never outwardly explained, but earlier issues dropped enough hints that you could piece th' story together yerself. Basically it was built up from those moments in ASM before Kaine an' baby May were retconned out of existance.

As fer #1, head into th' Spider-Girl thread's last page fer an article where Tom D talks about ASG's direction.

"Kraven's Last Hunt"? In hard cover.

My, my, my. Sounds like Marvel might be getting my money this decade after all...

I could just scream, I'm so freaking happy.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

I dunno...with sales on the book as dismal as they were, will a relaunch really be enough to keep this title afloat?

I'll honestly be surprised if it lasts 18 issues.

Looks good to me.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

It only sold poor on th' direct market. It made it up in th' other markets. Read th' article.

Like Wolverine said, it didn't do well with the direct sales markets, but I guess it sold well at newsstands... well enough to warrant a relaunch.

And if Marvel actually promotes the book via direct sales AND through schools and other media bits, there are enough young girls out there that would love a Spider-Girl comic to buy and read.

And the fanboys that want that old school Spider-Man reading (I'm looking at you Cullen), this is the perfect book for them.

I've read Spider-girl and, to tell the truth, I didn't like it. Peter and MJ were too close to what I'd consider stereotypical parents.

That doesn't mean I don't think it's well written or good. It's both. It's just not a Cullen Comic.

I'll give "Amazing Spider-girl" a look, though. Believe it or not, I have changed my opinion on occasion.

I feel the same way...

I have zero interest in a title where Peter is an amputee and his DAUGHTER -- looking like Spider-Man with breasts... which is just disturbing -- is the one punching out bad guys.

BUT, while I don't understand it, I know there are many here who love the title, so congrats!!

 

[Doc Destruction]

Actually, last issue, Peter AND May AND Kaine were doing the punching.

You spelt 'Congratulations' wrong.....

Sorry...i'm in a critique-type mood!

People annoyed with 'The Other' should read 'Last Hunt' the foundations for Pete being either the spider or the man were laid even then. Check it out. Interesting that it would be looked upon as a interesting dark take on spidey...but now 'The Other' was slated for elaborating on what could be found 20-odd years earlier.

hm...this gives me an idea for a new thread.....

I don't see it, myself.

 

[shinlyle]

I don't see it, myself.

Nor do I. I mean, he referred to himself as "the Spider" after his parents turned out to be robots, but that doesn't mean it was "The Other" trying to emerge.

Some people can really reach for things!

JMS and Co. have denounced the Other as crap, as have pretty much 99% of Spider-Man fans. The "Other" is dead. Let it rest.

I'm not sure Spider-Girl ever sold on the newsstands. One of the problems with the distribution is that it wasn't among the titles available at Borders or Barnes&Noble.

What saved Spider-Girl is that the digests sold well at mainstream bookstores and proved more popular than Marvel ever expected at school book fairs.

Hopefully the relaunch will get The Amazing Spider-Girl into more newsstands, where it probably will do very well.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Great news. Props to Tom Defalco, Pat Olliffe, Ron Frenz, and company for giving us some great fun, and continuing off of a storyline that is taboo in the regular universe.

the digests werent even out when spider-girl was first on the chopping block. it was number 1 on newstands and so that saved it, THEN the whole digest stuff saved it later. there's an article on it somewhere...

 

[Kevin]

im give the girl-spider a chance in october. anywho, i keep hearing her new touchedup outfit is different somehow from her old one. anyone have any examples?

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

From what I can see so far, different shooters and more blue in th' armpit area.

 

[Doc Destruction]

The shooters are her dad's old ones.

I wonder if she keeps maintaining popularity if they'll just bring back the damn storyline in the 616?
