Okay, I cleaned up my gallery, was not satisfied with the rough work that I uploaded here so they are gone.

In the meantime here are my mini reviews for The Spectacular Spider-Girl that is on Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited and Amazing Spider-Man Family.

Whether you read it on Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited or waited patiently for it to be printed in Amazing Spider-Man Family #5(Like Me), Mayday Parker is back!

The Spectacular Spider-Girl #1

The Spectacular Spider-Girl #1 opens up with our girl checking out the headquarters of the Order of the Goblin in hopes to get some answers to whether or not she is the original May Parker or the clone.
From the First Page to the Last, DeFalco and the Frenz/Buscema team set the pace for SSG by moving the story along, setting up subplots in the background and developing the sibling rivalry between May and April.

It's great to have Mayday Parker back and to continue where we left off from ASG #30. I enjoyed the new addition to the Parker family, Mayday's possible clone, April.
May and April's dynamic is definitely the most satisfying part of the issue with April providing a great foil for Mayday at home, school and during her crime fighting activities.

The big mystery is set up when a young lady comes by the Parker household claiming to be the daughter of Ben Reilly. Determine to find out who is this woman masquerading as her Uncle's kid, Mayday with April tagging along, attempts to track Gwen down before being side track leaving us with the last page cliffhanger.

Subplots establish are Silvio Barraca aka 'Silverback' igniting a gang war between himself and the Black Tarantula. The Black Tarantula himself has resume a love-hate relationship with Arana, who has moved in with him along with the addition of Fury becoming a lose cannon. With Fury's knowledge of Peter Parker being Spider-Man she could exploit this info against Mayday and her family.

It was great seeing the high school cast again, with them setting up May and Wes on a date and April introducing herself to high school gang. Mayday's friends begin to ask questions about her new 'Cousin'.



Overall life has gotten alittle bit more interesting for Mayday Parker at home and as Spider-Girl.


Spectacular Spider-Girl #2

Continuing where we left off from the first issue of the Spectacular Spider-Girl, Gwen Reilly is dead.
The two big questions are who was she and who killed her? Mayday questions April but she denies killing her only to have both May and April's spider-sense go off. That prompts them to check the roofs but who or what that cause the tingle is gone.
If that weren't bad enough, the spider tracer left on Gwen's body is now log into evidence and Phil Urich has gotten a quick match on Gwen's prints, saying Peter is going to freak the minute he sees the report.

Mayday, investigating the murder, enlists the help of Darkdevil. She informs him about Gwen Reilly, leading to an nice exhange with Darkdevil telling May that her father doesn't know 'everything'.
Now, from the first issue of SSG, I wanted Darkdevil to get involve because the storyline relates to his father and with the possilibity of Reilly finally coming out of the shadows to reveal himself to the Parker Family that he is Ben Reilly's son.



Now, Mayday, where do we start with you........you have to investigate the murder of a girl who claims to be your Uncle's daughter, you have your possible clone to content with and you forgot to meet up with Wes. It just doesn't get easier for May.
April, again continues to be a breath of fresh air in this series. She obviously takes after MJ, being the party girl who is looking for fun, and she also waltzes off with Wes.
Poor May.



Other developments are the gang war between the Black Tarantula and Silverback. The Tarantula and Arana share a very good scene together with Chesbro leaving a file for BT that hinted of a old villain who appears in the cliffhanger of this issue. His animated incarnation in Spectacular Spider-Man made a big impact in that respective medium and Silverback enlists his services in his war with the Black Tarantula.
The mystery whereabouts of Fury the Goblin Queen continue and we see Rene(Goblin groupie) dropping off a student to Midtown High, so the seeds are planted for a little more high school drama for May.
Overall, 16 pages with alot of developments across the board. Now, how long do we have to wait for issue 3?
