Hello all you Spider-man fans out there!
I'm new to this site, but I wanted to get on to tell you we need your help! I've been a longtime fan of Spider-man up until the rebooting of the series. I now read back issues and I read SPIDER-GIRL.
If you're not aware, SPIDER-GIRL is based off of What If #105 where they asked "what if Peter and MJ's baby had lived?"
SPIDER-GIRL is a GREAT read. It has a very old-school feeling. It is fun and entertaining. Unfortunately, Marvel is planning to cancel SPIDER-GIRL after #100 this August! This would be such a shame!
I urge you to give SPIDER-GIRL a try. If you've got three extra bucks, pick up a copy. You might enjoy it! And, if enough people get the word out and/or pick up a copy, it might not be cancelled!
At least flip through it when you're in the comic store next time... Like I said, you might really enjoy it!
On behalf of the entire community of Spider-girl fans, any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
I'm glad some people are looking at the post and replying. I appreciate that!
I'm not sure how people can complain about the style not being Marvel-like. In fact, I think it's closer to what Lee and Ditko were doing so many years ago than most of the current Marvel titles.
SPIDER-GIRL isn't drawn out. There isn't discontinuity or character re-workings. Those are some of the things that have popped up in Spider-man and other titles lately and the reason I gave up on them.
Obviously my opnion isn't unbiased, but I feel Spider-girl is more Marvel than most of Marvel's books these days. Just a thought.
I agree, I think Spider-girl is one of the best Spider-titles out there right now. It deals with serious issues, its true to the "church of Spidey", its funny, doesn't have any of that "spider totem crap" and has some cool symbiote action.
They'd better not cancel it. *shakes fist*
This series has dodged the final bullet twice now, I think, and this time is going to be the charm. It's over.
I don't see what all the raving is about, myself, but a few people seem really rabid about it. [shrug] It's not for me.
Now if they'll JUST cancel Arana - perhaps the stupidest, most useless book Marvel has ever put out, and one that really, truly deserves the axe - I'll be really happy.
