Amazing Spider-Girl #0

[Mr. Palmer]

I've never read a single issue of the previous Spider-Girl book, but decided - with a #0 jumping-on point - that I'd give er a go.

Anyone else planning on following this new series?

[Violently Apathetic]

I am. I started reading the last series about six issues before it ended, so I've decided to start this one from the get go. I haven't picked up my copy yet though.

I've never read any of the old series, but I think I'm going to start out with this series.

Nice comic!It tells everything you need to know about Spider-Girl and her universe.

[Shade 20x6]

I read it for the first couple years, then dropped it when I dropped comics completely. When I heard it was on the verge of cancellation, and that the original Hobby was back, I picked up the last few issues, and #0 today. I'm back on board. :)

OK so how was the issue? I read almost the entire first run of Spider-girl, but before the end I kinda got bored with it.

I know people are going to think I am crazy, but the book just didn't seem to be going anywhere. May's relationship with Normie didn't get anywhere new, and they carried this love interest for so long. Mays and Peter's relationship was always on this whole approval/disapproval thing. In all honesty I like a young spider-person, but I think they need to move out of the house at some point. I think this is the problem I started running into, and the problem I am begging to in USM.

I don't really understand the whole relaunch thing. It seems like it is the same writers, artists and so on. Is it honestly worth it too start picking it up again I guess is my question? I just re-subscribed and I sat for a while wondering if I wanted to or not.

I read the entire first run of Spider-Girl, but towards the end I found myself not caring much. Every time I considered dropping it, I read the new issue, was vaguely entertained, and decided not to, but the relaunch has sealed it for me. Great jumping-off point.

I love Spider-Girl. It's well.... Essentially old-school Spidey. Only with a girl.

And it *works* damnit! Get her some new villains and maybe add a few supporting characters and you're set. The main weakness was the somewhat lame villains....

According to the december previews she will face a new villian called Bitter Frost .....

Never read Spidergirl, so someone clear this up for me...

Why did the Spidergirl series run, what, 100 issues, then get cancelled, then immediately begin a new series?

[Ravenheart]

I have the entire run of the original series so I'm picking up the new series for sure.This #0 issue was a not too bad recap of the old series.

[Young Avenger]

I was thinking of getting it but I decided not too. I'm not fond of the MC2 universe.

[gorthon616]

I'm picking it up for the first time too.

Because comic fans have a fear of jumping on a series when it's been running for so long... apparently. It does seem to work, new #1s do seem to give titles a boost in the arm. If those readers stay on however, is a different matter. Marvel hopes that more people will try it and give them a reason to keep it going, apart from the digests which are doing very well.

Everyone should give it a try. It's a really fun book, I have every issue of the first series.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

I'll probably pick this up during my next Amazing Spider-Man pick up because I don't read monthlys anymore and I always wanted to see what the buzz was about when it came to May.
