The following contains major spoilers for Spider-Girl #1, on sale now from Marvel Comics.
Marvel's newest Spider-Girl finally has her own series, and she is already proving she has no clue what to do with it.
Spider-Girl #1 opens to find the titular teenage superhero swinging high above the streets of New York City and playing into her new role as a costume crime fighter as best she can. While Spider-Girl is more than capable of keeping jaywalkers from being run down in the middle of the road, she is far from prepared to catch a glimpse of her supposedly dead former mentor, Bullseye. Even worse, all it takes is for her focus to slip for a single moment and Spider-Girl goes from slinging webs to being tied up in the middle of one.

First seen in the pages of 2024's Spider-Boy #11 by writer Dan Slott and artist Paco Medina, the young Makawalu Akana possesses the uncanny mutant ability to replicate the knowledge and abilities of those in her immediate vicinity. With this power, Maka made a career out of taking down the best of the best in their respective fields, whether that be at top-tier chess tournaments or at local cliff diving competitions. Before long, Maka was catching the eye of everyone whose path she crossed, including the infamous assassin Bullseye.
Over the course of three years, Bullseye trained Maka as a world-class ninja assassin, giving her a costume and the codename of Funhouse in the process. Eventually, Maka was ready to confront the best possible opponent in the form of Bailey Briggs, better known as Spider-Boy, only for her to suffer some serious trauma after losing control of her own powers after trying to copy his abilities. This led Maka to develop a deep-seated hatred for Spider-Boy, whom she would keep in her sights for far longer than the young hero was expecting of her.

Black Cat and Mystique Lead This Year's Giant-Sized Pride Issue
Marvel Comics is putting Mystique, Destiny, and Black Cat in the middle of the action in this year's upcoming Pride special.
When Maka next confronted Spider-Boy, she did so under the mantle of Spider-Girl. Still working alongside Bullseye, Maka had reinvented herself in Bailey's likeness, in part to help ensure her and her mentor's place in the clandestine gauntlet known as the Challenge of the Jade Dragon. Across multiple issues, readers watched as teams of adult heroes (and villains) and their kid sidekicks faced off against one another for the right to command the ancient organization known as the Gaping Maw. In the process, Maka learned that Bullseye was just as willing to kill her as he was anyone else, driving her to stand against her mentor and ultimately embark upon a career as New York City's latest web-slinging superhero.
