A New Spider-Girl Title's Coming

I liked what I saw from the new Spider-Girl during "Grim Hunt" so I may have to check this new series out. At the very least, I'm glad they have plans for these characters as opposed to letting them waste away on the sidelines.

I'm so getting this series.

Team Arana for me.
616 Marvel and brings a little cultural diversity to comics.
 
Hate the whole l"legacy" thing though. And a lot of Grim Hunt just didn't work for me because of the tenuous "spider" connections and magic side. I mean really, other than a name what connextion do any of the spider character other than Pete and Arana have? They were the only ones we'd ever been told had any kind of link to Eziekiel and the spider cult.
And wasn't Alyosha previously established as more of a good hunter, anti hero type? I remember him teaming with spidey on more than one occation.

If it means Arana getting more exposure, then I'm on board

Kinda saw this coming from the ending of Grim Hunt. Arana is a cool character, so I'm glad this is happening.

I think it's a good move on Marvel's part.  Fans always accept a "legacy" or "family" character better than they do a derivative character.  Arana was cool, but clearly derivative of Spider-Man.  As Spider-Girl, she's part of the "Spider-Man Family," and will be more widely accepted, and yes, more marketable.  Plus, it keeps the name "Spider-Girl" alive in the Marvel Universe, without having to constantly make up the future of the Marvel U to sustain it in stories.  I liked the Mayday Parker character, but this is an excellent move on Marvel's part.

Spider-Girl is over?
Why?  I liked that.  Couldn't they have one be something like Spider-Girl and the other be Amazing Spider-Girl?

" If it means Arana getting more exposure, then I'm on board "

What I find interesting is how Marvel's going into the "Families" direction, first the Hulk Family, now the Spidey Family, and Fraction seems to be making an Iron Man Family, first War Machine, and now Pepper with her Rescue armor, who's going to be wearing an armor next? Plus what about a Cap Family? You got Bucky, Steve, Sharon Carter, Black Widow, Falcon, Rikki Barnes (Nomad).
 
But I do like that Arana's stepping up, I mean she's always been an interesting character to me, but now she's got an epic name and now's getting a new series!!! :D

I am a Mayday fan for life and very angry that marvel is trying to replace her right after she gets cancelled. At first I liked Arana and thought she had potential but, now that she is stealing Mayday's spotlight I am disliking her a little more.  
 
 
MAYDAY TEAM FOR EVER.

This may seem crude, but Spider-Man is totally checking out Spider-Girl on that cover. It looks like he's staring unashamedly as her posterior.

Oh yeah making more fans mad and making them leave marvel is a good thing.  This is getting more negative then good that is not a good thing.  Now if it was arana series just in the new costume it would be thing but just slapping fans in the face just three months after Spider-Girl The End comes out with a baseball bat.  That is what this is.
Team Mayday all the way.  The REAL Spider-Girl 4EVER!

cool look for her

" Team Mayday for me. I'd be a LOT more appreciative of an  Araña "Spider-Girl" series if Mayday hadn't just lost her series. Why couldn't Spider-Girl and Spectacular Spider-Girl have co-existed? They're in different universes for crying out loud. "

Nooooooo!
I loved that she called herself Arana made her one of the very few Latin super heroes...
With Spider-Girl as her new title it takes that Latin away from her character...
 
I hope she still speaks Spanish from time to time thought... What I'm wondering thought is how this will affect the Young Allies book?

I am willing to give this a chance before I completely write it off, but I agree with the above thoughts on Mayday.  I don't understand why they can't coexist, or just let Mayday run with it. 
 
Team Mayday here personally...

One another thing I thought of is why couldn't they keep Real Spider-Girl as back-up?  This why I think Joe q hatred for anything that Peter and MJ together.  Now gotten ride of the last book that has them together in one way or another.  I am sure Joe q had a hand with Bendis putting Peter and Gwen together in the new Ultimate Spidey.  Though I bet they will never admit it.  And again it's not the costume but the new name change.

hrm...so, Madam Web "gave" her mutant powers to Julia? What's the point of that?

Spider Girl is like Robin in that there are 5 or 6 of her. This was a cool twist in getting tied up with Maddam Web. It kills off one of the too many spiders and yet combines them so we don't lose anything really. Thedeath gave Grim Hunt weight and consolidated underused characters. Good move on Marvel's part.

No! Keep May around!

i hate mayday. But im not a fan of arana either. Unless this is a different take on arana, i dont think ill pick this up.

I do like Mayday, and haven't read any of Arana, but I do like Arana from what I've heard of her. I've ordered three Arana digests from my library, so with a bit of luck they'll be decent!

" @RichardSimonsen: Same here  "

Looks great, lovin the new Spider-Girl. So Arachne is the new Madame Web eh? I loved Spider-Mans comment about how he liked her better when she was just hot, not hot AND mysterious.

The end of Mayday Parker=DeFalco's broken heart.

I've always been meaning to read 'Spider-Girl'
so now there's a new series, I think I may finally pick it up. ^_^

You can call her Spider-Girl all you want but she will always be,   Araña!!!!!!!!!

They probably never gave Spectacular Spider-Girl series a chance.  They doomed it with the 3.99 and back-up.  They didn't give it advertising or announce it at all.  Just put it out and failed.  Would have done a little better.   Maybe or maybe not but 3.99 price tag didn't help in my mind.  People can't afford these prices much.  We will probably here more on this at Comic Con which was more then they gave Mayday in recent years.  Which goes back to Joe q v.s. the marriage point.  I have said that Joe q has been trying to get ride of Mayday for a while but fans have spoken to loud.   So they tried everything to have fail but they win in the end.  Bad guys win because sales (back to 3.99) point) and they finally got what they wanted.  Now to really try to keep fans down they bring in a new present day spider-girl.  Marvel hoping we just forget about mayday.  Nope.  This also reminds me a bit what dc did with Impulse/Bart Allen.  Under different circumstances though but a character that had a series that was canceled and replacing a liked character.  Much like that flash this will fail.  I won't be surprised to find out it last about much as Brother Voodoo's series.

Team Mayday all the way

" @leokearon: Ya MArvel has to use a legacy that was built up for 12 years for Arana. Why can't she use her own name? "

Is this a Campbell cover?

Marvel have always wanted an Earth 616 Spider-girl to cash in on Mayday's popularity, in fact Arana was going to be called Spider-girl but the fans weren't happy "

 But where does the logic come in when just a couple months after the end of Mayday last book you release a 616 version?  If they weren't happy before they are not now.  Not much changed except you may have just made them even more mad.   What does marvel think SG fans would roll over and just accept the new one and throw away what they cared for 12 years? I was thinking about this some more.  Business sense makes no sense unless there is secret mayday back-up which I doubt.  You are dooming it to fail before it comes out.  A. cause spider-girl fans mostly likely aren't going to pick it up.  B. some retailers may just see this another sg series and don't support.  C. You got a character that couldn't support a book it's own which was sad since book wasn't to bad. "

Team Arana! I've been reading her since her days in Amazing Fantasy. She was an awesome ORIGINAL characters and it sucks she's been depowered, but watta ya ganna do? She deserves her own title after such gross miss handling.

OK so I by graphic novels not comics, I'm also a huge fan of continuity and the whole legacy concept. That considered I was planning on buying the "Web of Spider-man" Storyline.
 
 My question is: Is it a stand alone series or does it cross and mix with "Grim Hunt" too? Cauz now you got me intrigued by "Grim Hunt".
 
Grim Hunt is a part of the (official) main Spidey storyline right? Honestly IMO theres too many so I tend to buy the graphics with the best storylines art and the most action.
