I read Spider-Girl #100, and I absolutely loved it. It reads alot like classic Spidey. And the extra stories that were included were also awesome. I only have a handfull of Spider-Girl comics, so I hadn't read those stories before.
Do you know what Spider-Girl has that Spidey comics haven't had in a long time? A supporting cast. And a supporting cast with a heart too.
Do you know what else Spider-Girl has that Spider-Man doesn't? The story is a FAR more natural continuation of the Spider-Man saga than what's currently going on in the comics.
This is what we, as comic fans, and what Marvel should realise too (but won't). We have these characters that are almost 50 years old... they have nowhere else to go!! ESPECIALLY Peter Parker. I've ALWAYS felt that part of the Peter Parker tale was the tale of life. He's a young teenager, he ages, goes to college, falls in love, has a gang of friends, breaks up and gets with someone else, etc etc etc until eventually he's married and is an adult. THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE YOU CAN GO AFTER THAT!!!
That is why Spider-Girl is a natural continuation of the story. The writers know it in a way. That's why they revealed Peter's identity to the world. They have nowhere else to go.
