Spider-Girl is the name of several comic book titles featuring the character Spider-Girl and published by Marvel Comics, beginning with the original Spider-Girl comic book series which debuted in 1998.
Publication history
The first portrayed Spider-Girl, Mayday Parker, first appeared in a one-shot story in the ongoing series What If. Following positive fan response to the concept, Spider-Girl and two other series (A-Next and J2) set in the same alternate future universe were launched under the MC2 imprint.[1][2] Although each of these titles were slated to be 12-issue limited series, Spider-Girl's initial sales justified their continuation as ongoing titles.
After initial interest, Spider-Girl drew low sales. The book's active fan base convinced Marvel to revoke several cancellation announcements. Reprints of the series in digest size trade paperbacks sold well. Marvel Associate Editor Nick Lowe revealed in a Nov. 2005 interview that "Spider-Girl, for the first time, is completely safe from cancellation."[3]
Despite Lowe's statement, Marvel announced that No. 100 would be the title's final issue. It was the longest-running superhero book with a lead female character ever published by Marvel.[citation needed] The book was relaunched as The Amazing Spider-Girl, with issue #0 appearing in Oct. 2006.
In November 2010, a new Spider-Girl series was launched that was unconnected to the MC2 universe. The MC2 Spider-Girl title was cancelled, having surpassed publisher expectations for longevity.[citation needed] The new series featured a new character, Anya Corazon, whose adventures occurred on Earth 616. This monthly Spider-Girl comic debuted on November 17, 2010,[4] as a tie-in to the "Big Time" storyline in The Amazing Spider-Man.[5] The series was canceled after only eight issues. No official reason was given for the cancellation.[6]
