Following her sold-out debut in SPIDER-BOY last year, the all-new SPIDER-GIRL headlines a new ongoing series in June from Torunn Grønbekk and André Risso
The rise of Marvel Comics’ newest breakout Spider-Hero was just announced at ComicsPro! Spinning out of the pages of Spider-Boy, the adventures of the all-new SPIDER-GIRL begin in June! The new ongoing series will be written by Torunn Grønbekk, known for her acclaimed work in titles like Venom and Thor, and drawn by newcomer André Risso, marking his exciting Marvel Comics debut.
Created by Dan Slott and Paco Medina last year, this young new hero from Hawaii originally trained under Bullseye to be the villainous Funhouse! As a mutant with unique power-absorbing abilities, her powers recently went haywire when she fought Spider-Boy. Now stuck with a dark, twisted version of Spider-Boy’s arachnid powerset, she carves out her own place in the Marvel Universe as the new SPIDER-GIRL! The new series will shed light on the character’s backstory, reveal the full extent of her mutant abilities, and reveal whether she can truly leave behind her villainous ways to stand as a hero.
HERE COMES THE SENSATIONAL SPIDER-GIRL!
After Bullseye’s betrayal, Spider-Girl is trying her hand at being a hero. But when a clash with Vermin reveals that a major Spider-Nemesis is tracking her, Spider-Girl will have to figure out what this villain wants – and which of their allies will try to kill her next.
“Spider-Girl a blast—joyful, irreverent, mischievous, and righteous. Leaving Bullseye behind, she’s starting fresh in New York, exploring her new home and embracing her powers with fearlessness and a touch of innocence,” Grønbekk explained. “She eagerly jumps into fights others would think better of (often against some of our favorite Spidey villains!), and her arrival has definitely caught the attention of the criminal underworld – but maybe not for the reason one would think…”
“André Risso’s stunning pages are bursting with energy and action, bringing this story to life in a way only comics can,” she added.
