Spider-Girl (May "Mayday" Parker) is a superheroine in Marvel Comics' MC2 universe. The character was created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz as the teenage daughter of Peter Parker (Spider-Man) and Mary Jane Watson, and first appeared in ''What If'' (vol. 2) #105 (February 1998). She later acquired her own ongoing comic book, ''Spider-Girl'', written by DeFalco and drawn by Frenz and Pat Olliffe, which was the longest-running superhero book with a lead female character ever published by Marvel before being relaunched as ''The Amazing Spider-Girl'', and later ''The Spectacular Spider-Girl''. Peter and Mary Jane named their daughter after his Aunt May. ==Publication history== Spider-Girl first appeared in a one-shot story in the ongoing series ''What If''. Following positive fan response to the concept, ''Spider-Girl'' and two other series (''A-Next'' and ''J2'') set in the same alternate future universe were launched under the MC2 imprint. Although each of these titles were slated to be 12-issue limited series, ''Spider-Girls initial sales justified their continuation as ongoing titles. After initial interest, ''Spider-Girl'' drew low sales. The book's active fan base convinced Marvel to revoke several cancellation announcements. Reprints of the series in digest size trade paperbacks sold well. Marvel Associate Editor Nick Lowe revealed in a November 2005 interview that "''Spider-Girl'', for the first time, is completely safe from cancellation." Despite Lowe's statement, Marvel announced that #100 would be the title's final issue. The book was relaunched as ''The Amazing Spider-Girl'', with issue #0 appearing in October 2006. On October 11, 2008, Tom DeFalco announced that ''Amazing Spider-Girl'' would be canceled with issue #30, though he revealed that, due to the company's love for the character, she could possibly be given a sixteen-page back-up strip in ''The Amazing Spider-Man Family''.〔(DeFalco Confirms Amazing Spider-Girl Cancellation ), Comic Book Resources, October 13, 2008〕 On November 8, 2008, Marvel EIC Joe Quesada confirmed that Spider-Girl would become a feature in the monthly anthology magazine ''Amazing Spider-Man Family''. The series would replace the feature "Mr. and Mrs. Spider-Man", written by DeFalco, which served as a prequel series to the Spider-Girl universe. On March 18, 2009, Marvel announced that Spider-Girl would continue publication as ''Spectacular Spider-Girl'', a web-comic released through Marvel's Digital Comics Unlimited. The title would continue to be simultaneously published in paper form within ''Amazing Spider-Man Family''. ''Amazing Spider-Man Family'' #5 (published April 2009) through #8 (July 2009) contained these Spider-Girl stories until the title's cancellation with issue #8. The new ''Spectacular Spider-Girl'' stories were then contained in ''Web of Spider-Man''. This lasted for seven issues before being moved to its own four-issue limited series, ''Spectacular Spider-Girl'', which tied up most of the series plot threads. This was followed by one last Spideñrl tale, ''Spider-Girl: The End''. In November 2010, a new ''Spider-Girl'' series was launched that was unconnected to the MC2 universe. The MC2 Spider-Girl title was cancelled, having surpassed publisher expectations for longevity. The new series featured a new character, Anya Corazon, whose adventures occurred on Earth 616. The series was cancelled after only eight issues. No official reason was given for the cancellation. This character returned for a "Spider Island" limited series. Mayday and her family were reintroduced, as part of the ''Spider-Verse'' crossover event, in the eighth issue of the third volume of ''The Amazing Spider-Man'', which was the first story with Mayday to be written by Dan Slott, the first time a fully-grown Mayday appeared in the pages of her father's flagship title, and the first story to showcase the "Spider-Marriage" in the regular comics since 2007's controversial ''One More Day''. She is set to appear again, handled by the original creative team, in July 2015 as part of Marvel's Secret Wars event, serving as a back-up story in Christos Gage's ''Spider-Island''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spider-Girl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
