After proving herself to family and other superheroes in the last volume, May finds herself dragged into a mystery as someone makes a power play by attacking New York’s crime bosses. On top of that, May faces continuing drama in her lo life, trying to support a reluctant classmate, and an upheaval on the basketball team. Taut storytelling and plenty of familiar faces make for a great addition to the Spider-Girl saga.

Apparently somebody had a bid idea to try something new with that art. The team is the same but with a new style. And that looks stupid and annoying.
But the story is quite clever with all the high teen drama I'm used to.

Another solid, enjoyable read. Spider-Girl and the whole MC2 universe rocks.

This book collects Spider-girl #60-66 is probably the best of the Spider-girl books yet. Spider-girl finds herself caught in the crossfire of a gang war. Her friend, ally, and occasional heckler Darkdevil disappears when a bomb strikes Riker's Island in an attempt to assassinate Wilson Fiske.
The mastermind of the attack doesn't stop there, as another bomb nearly takes down the reformed Green Goblin. What we have is a true thriller, a whodunit with Spider-girl having to play reluctant to investigate a twisting tale of intrigue that leaves everyone guessing whose lying, whose telling the true and who is ultimately behind a series of attacks that will change the MC2 universe.
This is a truly great superhero epic at its finest with everything handled well. May is clearly growing as a hero and as a person.
Some of that growth is painful as her relationship with BFF Davida hits a hard place as May's Spider-girl career and Davida's actions change their relationship forever. And there's also a very well-done plot where a classmate is suffering through domestic violence. May's reactions and that of the victim are both realistic and movingly done.
May goes through a gammit of emotions in seven issues and shines through as a humble, courageous, and caring heroine. Really a great role model character. It's a pity that Marvel never let this character grow to full womanhood and perhaps a bigger pity that if she had, she wouldn't have been allowed to be as a good a person as an adult.

Something happened to the art that was very distracting. Everything became elongated and the lines stopped connecting. I'm not a good art describer.
I'm not sure this was better or worse than the other books. I think this one is weaker because it had fewer threads and each thread was about as detailed as the old ones used to be.
It's just confusing knowing that the "end" is coming. I've been thrown off by the end-of-book tag "The End--For Now." That's something you write when your title has been suddenly cancelled.

Reprints Spider-Girl #60-66. Spider-Girl finds crimelords under attack and tries to search for killer. Spider-Girl is a solid compact comic. It isn't the best comic but it is very traditional. The stories read like the early Spider-Man comics and though there is high-drama, the threats never seem that great. A great young reader series that could get kids interested in comics.

A quite grownup story in this one, domestic abuse. It's completely seperate from the superhero one where gang land bosses are getting killed. But its the school stories that keep you reading. A student lets slip that she gets hit, and May is determined to help her. This topic is very delicately handled.
