Spider-Man Family (later retitledThe Amazing Spider-Man Family) is acomic book series published byMarvel Comics.
It began as a series of one-shots written and penciled by various writers and artists before becoming a bi-monthly ongoing series with the first issue cover-dated February 2007. Its initial writer wasSean McKeever. Each issue ofSpider-Man Family contained brand new stories featuringSpider-Man and his supporting cast, reprints of classicSpider-Man tales, and an English translation of the original Japanese manga,Spider-Man J.
In June 2008,Spider-Man Family was relaunched asThe Amazing Spider-Man Family, and became a showcase title for many of the divergent timelines that were present at this point in the franchise. In addition to strips set in theBrand New Day timeline, a strip exploring the early days of Peter Parker's life as Spider-Man was also included. Another feature,Mr. and Mrs. Spider-Man, written byTom DeFalco, took place within Marvel'sMC2 continuity. In November 2008,Joe Quesada confirmed on his blog that cult favouriteSpider-Girl would be moving toAmazing Spider-Man Family in April 2009.
On July 13, 2009, Marvel announced a new monthly anthology title,Web of Spider-Man, to replaceThe Amazing Spider-Man Family. UnlikeThe Amazing Spider-Man Family, it featured only new stories, with backup stories initially starringSpider-Girl, then switching toJackpot.

Mr. and Mrs. Spider-Man is a short comic strip series published in the pages ofThe Amazing Spider-Man Family,[1][2][3] in August 2008. It was written byTom DeFalco,[4] and illustrated byRon Frenz and several other artists.[citation needed]
The series took place in theMC2 universe, and bridges the gap between the final issues of DeFalco's run onThe Amazing Spider-Man and his future canon inSpider-Girl, taking place shortly after the renegade cloneKaine rescued an infant"Mayday" Parker from the clutches ofNorman Osborn's agents and returned her safely to her parentsPeter andMary Jane. Peter continues his career as Spider-Man and begins to cope with the additional headaches of raising an infant daughter with his wife.[citation needed] According to DeFalco, the events of "The Final Chapter" take place two years after this series. Mayday is six months old when the series begins, and is two when Peter loses his leg in a final battle with the Green Goblin, ending his career as Spider-Man.[citation needed] The strip was intended to run in the closing issue of theSpider-Man Family volume, but was held back to launch within the rebranded title. A podcast interview with DeFalco in November 2008 confirmed that, due to Spider-Girl becoming an integral part ofAmazing Spider-Man Family,Mr and Mrs. Spider-Man would become a casualty and be concluded. Only four storylines were written. The strips were later collected in a trade paperback ofThe Spectacular Spider-Girl.
