Spider-Girl is the name of severalcomic book titles featuring the characterSpider-Girl and published byMarvel Comics, beginning with the originalSpider-Girl comic book series which debuted in 1998.
The first portrayed Spider-Girl,Mayday Parker, first appeared in a one-shot story in the ongoing seriesWhat If. Following positive fan response to the concept,Spider-Girl and two other series (A-Next andJ2) set in the same alternate future universe were launched under theMC2 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 indigest sizetrade 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 asThe Amazing Spider-Girl, with issue #0 appearing in Oct. 2006.
In November 2010, a newSpider-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 onEarth 616. This monthlySpider-Girl comic debuted on November 17, 2010,[4] as a tie-in to the "Big Time" storyline inThe Amazing Spider-Man.[5] The series was canceled after only eight issues. No official reason was given for the cancellation.[6]
