Besides being a little silly (which, fair enough, comics) it's got the Shazam problem. Inside, everyone's going to call her Spider-Woman.

It'd be like calling the new run of Captain America "FalconCap". Everyone's gonna call Sam that, so why not?

Marvel probably doesn't want to confuse idiots with two Spider-Woman books.

Though I guess with Silk getting an ongoing too there's going to be three ongoings with woman of the spidery persuasion, and two of them might even be good!

Spider-Girl didn't have editors, it was just Tom DeFalco getting to do whatever he wanted. If it did someone likely would have looked at Amazing Spider-Girl and went "holy poo poo what the gently caress am I reading Tom" and then he'd just burn them with a cigar

I think it was a great idea done in the most boring way by an old man desperately trying to write a bunch of teenagers.

For the record, I liked the original Spider-Girl ongoing okay but every book after that successfully killed any good will I have for that setting and those characters. Spider-Girl: The End in particular is one of the most intelligence insultingly bad comics I've ever read.

Remember how Spider-Girl was supposed to be set in an alternate present and then thirty+ year old Arana shows up out of nowhere as a villain (hint: the reason is because DeFalco hates the character)

In fact there's a legend that Arana was supposed to launch as Spider-Girl and DeFalco threw a hissy fit about it and got his way, just like he did constantly for like ten years.

The book is a What If that pins directly out of the Clone Saga and heavily references it throughout it's run. The most 90's of 90's crossovers spawned the series. It was never an alternate present.

Well who would you suggest to write the series instead, if Marvel decided tomorrow to do a new series? I'd probably go with Sean McKeever, since he actually wrote her before in a very good fill-in issue and after his work on Spider-Man loves Mary Jane among other things, he'd probably be able to juggle the superheroics and the domestics ably, while keeping the overall light tone of the series. I'd leave DeFalco and Frenz as editors a)so nobody is pressuring them to kill off her parents, and b)so they can focus on keeping continuity for their baby straight. You know, what editors are supposed to do.

Not McKeever. Not after his own super hissy fit about being pulled away from his characters in Onslaught Unleashed. I don't trust that guy at all.

Honestly? I'd let G. Willow Wilson have a go at it. And I don't want DeFalco involved at all.

Essentially erasing Rikki out of existence and having Toro go away forever because he wouldn't get to write them anymore.

Anya was always a great character trapped in bad books. Arana was rough, Ms. Marvel had her getting partially depowered and then being made into a teenage mind slave, Spider-Girl had like one good issue. Amazing Spider-Girl and Young Allies weren't bad, though, and Avengers Assemble was the best.

Suben posted:

How do you know the Rikki thing wasn't editorially mandated?

You're right, I don't, but why would it be mandated?

I think I've asked this before, but was the "The Non-Mutant Superhero" caption on the covers of that era a joke about Spidey being the biggest non-X-Men property at Marvel, or was it there because X-Men were such a big deal that anything with the word "mutant" on it would sell?

So for the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man, they added a character who was always meant to be an insufferable prick and a temporary addition to the cast. Great job guys! Make mine Marvel!

It was to contrast what makes Peter Parker special compared to some random fuckoff kid. It wasn't exactly subtle.
