The following contains major spoilers for Spider-Girl #2, on sale now from Marvel Comics.
Spider-Girl is about to face off against a whole different kind of Bullseye than she is used to, and she might not survive the experience.
A preview for Spider-Girl #2 from Marvel Comics opens to find the young Maka Akana, better known as Spider-Girl, returning to an empty home, excited at the prospect of having the place to herself while her mother is at work. Unsurprisingly, it isn't long before a dagger thrown through her window by the same mysterious woman she last saw at her local dojo attracts the budding young hero's attention. Unfortunately for Spider-Girl, there is no telling exactly what Lady Bullseye wants with her, whereas it is all but certain that whatever she wants won't be good for New York City's latest Wall-Crawler.

The enigmatic assassin known as Lady Bullseye made her Marvel Comics debut in the pages of 2008's Daredevil #111 by Ed Brubaker and Clay Mann. Formerly imprisoned by the Yakuza, the young girl who would become Lady Bullseye was unwittingly rescued by Bullseye, the sight of whom inspired her to pursue her own murderous path of vengeance. Over the years, Lady Bullseye was trained by a founding member of The Hand known as Izo, who set her on the path to one day rule the ancient cult of undying ninjas for herself.
In the years since her debut, Lady Bullseye has played a prominent role across numerous storylines across just as many Marvel Comics titles. Apart from her work with The Hand, Lady Bullseye has lent her overtly lethal skills to the likes of the Kingpin of Crime himself, Wilson Fisk, who employed her during storylines such as 2010's Shadowland and in writer Mark Waid's iconic run on the title, not long after the events of Shadowland came to a close. Although Lady Bullseye, like her predecessor, will always be associated with Daredevil, she has never shied away from taking on the titular heroes of titles like Spider-Woman, Punisher, and Black Panther.

Tom Holland Says Spider-Man: Brand New Day Features 'Old School Filmmaking'
The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man promises "old school filmmaking" on some truly epic sets in his next feature film outing.
Makawalu Akana, or more simply Maka, was first seen in 2024's Spider-Boy #11 by writer Dan Slott and artist Paco Medina. A brash mutant with the ability to replicate nearly any physical feat or understanding of any subject that someone nearby displays or possesses, Maka made a name for herself by taking down the top competition across a wide range of talents, all seemingly out of nowhere.
Eventually, this caught the eye of the infamous assassin Bullseye, who took Maka under his wing and trained her. Along the way, Maka developed a deep-seated hatred for Bailey Briggs, aka Spider-Boy, leading to numerous confrontations between the two. After being betrayed by Bullseye and learning that Spider-Boy never harbored any sort of resentment towards her, however, Maka left her old life behind and embarked upon a new path as the latest Spider-Girl.
