Comics No More Spidergirl?

[GLfan]

Why is Spidergirl ending?

 

[Kraven]

The sales aren't high enough, unfortunately.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Because Marvel hates quality.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

All of the above.

No, sales on S-G are higer than a few "High Profile" books.
They just hate S-G, it reminds JQ of everything he wants to change in S-M:
Ben Reilly
Baby May
Dead Aunt May
Secret ID
Married to MJ

And those are reasons why Marvel should keep Spider-Girl, because more and more the "official" Spider-Man titles seem like a twisted alternate universe.

For the record, Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz insist that Joe Quesda is a Spider-Girl fan. That, however, doesn't explain why Marvel has done such a lousy job promoting the book.

Spider-Girl isn't gone yet, though. It's never too late to share your opinion with Marvel's powers that be.

The possibility of a relaunch is strong, so the more fans Marvel hears from, the likelier Spider-Girl will be back. Send letters, not e-mail. Letters are much more effective.

Spider-girl is pretty good writing, but I'm just not a fan. With any luck, it'll keep going though.

this is like, the third time it's been cancled...I think they do it at this point just to put a spike in the sales before saying "we got such a response from the fans we decided to keep it going"

I think one reason they do it is to see if they still get a response from the fans, but it is annoying that this seems to be the only way Marvel knows how to promote Spider-Girl. What they should do is simple, and not that costly. Talk up the character to the media, then get the monthly comic in the chain stores and you won't have to worry about the direct-sales market. Spider-Girl was never written for the direct market.

Anyway, if you like the book, want to see it relaunched (I doubt we'll see issue 101 at this point), and haven't written Marvel yet, you should do it. I believe Marvel is very close to giving a go-ahead to a relaunch, so the more support Spider-Girl receives right now, the better the chances.

Personally I think the best way to get Mayday out their is with her own movie.

A direct to dvd animated feature is my ultimate spider-girl wish.

Other than a live action sequal to the current movies of course.

any high profile books with low sales do get cancelled. spider-man cant hit the 40,000 mark without being relaunched. anyway spider-girl is pretty high profile. i doubt you could find a comic fan that hasnt heard o her by now. i tried to read it, got a nice little collection of 20books and just got bored. it just wasnt my thing - i mean, i liked the buzz and the whole JJJ thing, so looks like im spider-MAN through and through, not girl. anyway the writing was good, but its not as good as you fans make it out to be. in all my time reading online reviews i've never seen one reviewer who thinks as highly of the book as some of you do -- im not having a go, just saying that its all opinion and if the book isn't selling its always gona get cancelled. then again, rumours are its on hiatus and will be back. plus there will always be miniseries that hark back to MC2 and now that she's free, who's betting ona spider-man/ spider-girl inter-timeline crossover? i'd pay to see that. PLUS itd probably make pete hunt down kaine in his own timeline to see whether he has May (i reckon kaines bringing her up in the 616 timeline).

When I went to Megacon, Sal Buscema was drawing me a sketch and I asked him about Spider-Girl (he inks it), and he told me they were going to come back later relaunched. Take that for what it is.

 

[Happenstance]

That'd be good for fans of Spidergirl then if it happens. Id give the first few issues a buy if it was relaunched to see if I liked it this time. Saying that it wasnt even bad when I did buy it, I just wasnt a fan of it.

It's changed alot lately, art wise and direction wise. It seems that alot of you were put off but the mid twenties issues, with the sesame street type super hero's, and craptacular lame rehashes of old supervillians. If you get the chance try it again, A lot more of her fathers villians are showing up (Venom, Hobgobln), more family interaction (She has a brother now), more explosions: LOUD NOISES!!!, and of course a lot more violence (Reading the ending to this weeks issue) and actually interesting and dangerous new villians

I personally hope with the fallout of M2, they somehow mix Spidergirl into the Marvel mainstream universe.
They did it with NateGrey aka X-Man, I don't see why not with Mayday.

I also hope characters like J2 and Wildthing crossover.
I loved J2's former ongoing series, despite the sales it had.
If they do cross them over, I see all of the above joining the young avengers.
Hopefully Mayday is a reservist like she is in the M2 universe with the Avengers.
Also, I wanna see the revengers in Marvel mainstream. But not the M2 revengers. A new cast with the same name would be cool.

 

[Sloth7d]

Hmmmm.....
I wonder.....
If they intertwine, that would make like 5 spiderwomen....
I wonder who would win in a fight?
Arana or SpiderGirl.......

 

[Kevin]

Ok, When I Say This I Don't Want To Upset Anyone... But They Should Never Mix M2 And The Mu. Leave Them In Their Owm Universes. They're Better That Way

 

[Sloth7d]

What!?
Spidergirl and J2 would be a perfect mix into the mainstream world.
Look at NateGrey and how he tranfered over.

 

[Kevin]

...maybe

 

[Citizen_Kaine]

I don't think so, too many Spider females already, and she'd just get lost and forgotten in the 616. Better to just wait for October

Dude, they're officially relaunching Spider-girl. It's gonna be called 'The Amazing Spider-Girl', to give that dramatic punch it needed. And it's gonna be Tom Defalco again. Yay!

He should be put on Amzspiderman.
Not to say he shouldn't be on spidergirl.
