Wishing for a super hero for little girls, August 15, 2009
This review is from: Amazing Spider-Girl Vol. 1: Whatever Happened to the Daughter of Spider-Man? (v. 1) (Paperback)
Spiderman, Batman all brought down to scale for little boys. Yet, nothing for little girls but, princesses. Well, when your little girl is not into princesses not cool. This is a great comic - but for older 9+. I have chosen to read and relay the story in a different context for my 4 year old. Retailers get a clue and market Alicia from Diego and Super Girl heroes for Pre-k! You are missing out on a market.

New series, new life, November 18, 2011
This review is from: Amazing Spider-Girl Vol. 1: Whatever Happened to the Daughter of Spider-Man? (v. 1) (Paperback)
Spider-Girl is one of the best thought heroines of the new batch imagined by marvel authors.
It has the power to enrapture new audiences (especially, but not exclusively, young female teenagers), but also the old guard (such as myself). Combining the old characters that grew older like Peter Parker or Felicia Hardy with an entire new generation, it brings credibility to the story arch, a sense of continuity and a great adaptation to modern audiences.
Heroes get involved in reality shows; data, empathy and crunching numbers is frequently more important than punching criminals. Even foes are smarter and acting more cautiously (and usually through henchman). Welcome to the XXI century!
This first volume of the new Spider-Girl series, compiles the six first issues plus the promotional number zero. It has a great summary of the former series showing the main events that previously occurred through the entries on May's journal.
In this sequence of stories, the main theme is responsibility. But you will also find school politics, criminal power struggles, nobleness of hearts (even in those that consider themselves lost) and lots of funny one liner's!
Very good job by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz.
