It's been a heated topic, but at least Marvel are still trying to find a home for it. They love the character and have acknowledged it's success. This is more a bleeding economy problem than anything to do with the quality.

Spider-Girl is canceled. There is no justice.

[Shadowbrat]

if it survives in anthology form, that's good enough for me

[CMBMOOL]

I may not understand the Ecomony and stuff, but when it messes up something like Spider-girl I will get involved.

[Seraku]

damn.

I wonder if this means DeFalco will go back to doing main continuity stories? I miss the days when he was in charge

[CMBMOOL]

Spider-Girl is canceled and titles like Ultimates 3 and Hulk are topping the charts. There is no justice.

Amen to that fact.

Hey take notice that Arana did recently appeared within the pages of Ms. Marvel and Amazing Spider-girl.

Don't blame the economy. It's not the economy.

[apoehler]

Plenty of other series don't get even one second chance, while Spider-Girl got like a dozen.

I don't

It was the dark age of Marvel comics

Tom's getting his Spider-Man fix again with "Mr and Mrs Spider-Man", but hearing that that particular strip could be scrapped really would be a sour kick in the balls for him.

He's seen by most as the "Simon Furman" of the Spider-Man Marraige, and the last custodian of the 90s era of Marvel, and he seems perfectly happy writing and crafting MC2 titles. I hope he does another "Last Hero/Planet Standing" mini-series, the second one was badass.

You're thinking of the 90s, you forget that Defalco came in within the mid-80s.

After hearing so much positive word-of-mouth online about Spider-girl, I decided to try it out. I came up on late to SG w/volume 1 (#80s), catching up through the mini digests/tpbs, then in the singles.

I loved the beginning of the run, especially the great supporting cast/high school drama (like the Spidey of yore), but the title lost that feel and became constant super-heroics/little to no character development/zero supporting cast by the end of vol 1. Didn't really like it too much by that point, but gave vol 2 a try.

More of the same ol' same ol', dropped it w/#8.

I won't say I'll miss it (I recently unloaded my entire run on eBay), but I feel bad for all the uber-fans of it out there...
