Apparantly so (and it will be a newsstand title).


MONROEVILLE, Pa. -- Spider-Girl is ending with its 100th issue in July, but it appears the never-say-die Marvel Comics title will be relaunched with a new No. 1 issue.

At the Spider-Girl panel at the Pittsburgh Comicon on Saturday, creators Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz strongly suggested the book will return.

"At this point it looks like we're really, really canceled," Frenz said. "But it might be a situation like She-Hulk where Marvel Comics feels they can start over with a No. 1 to get a sales blip." http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0604/22/spidergirl100th.jpg (http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0604/22/spidergirl100.htm)

"We'd rather have a #101, but..." DeFalco said.

While never actually confirming the relaunch, DeFalco and Frenz -- who were joined by one-time Spider-Girl and current Last Planet Standing artist Pat Olliffe -- went as far as saying the book will get a new logo and discussing the tone of upcoming stories.

"If this relaunch happens, it will include a big newsstand launch," DeFalco said after Frenz noted that the Spider-Girl digests were selling "X-Men numbers."

Its good to see that it might be back afterall but I'm not crazy about it starting at #1 again.

Makes sense the relaunch business mold works pretty well and they only need to increase Spider-girls readership by 40%. I would think there best bet would be to try and do a cartoon first but with the digests its a good idea.

Okay, now if it means I get more Spider-Girl stories, this is a relaunch I won't mind in the least.

I think Ron Frenz is a great artist for the title.I've been a fan of his work ever since he worked on Thor.

Spider-Girl is my favorite monthly comic so if it takes a relaunch to keep going then I am all for it.

Okay, now if it means I get more Spider-Girl stories, this is a relaunch I won't mind in the least.Ditto to that. I also say Ron Frenz is perfect, I wouldn't want to change up this creative team with a relaunch. And Marvelboi, I occasionally have picked up two issues, but have also been buying up back issues (sometimes doubles of those). I don't know if that shows up on Marvel's radar, but I wanted to get as many Spider-Girl stories as possible before the bitter end (I got in regularly at ish #76 or so, with the Fury the Goblin Queen arc). This is good news indeed if it bears out!! :)
