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!
