DeFalco has no reason to be pissed--poor sales led to the book being cancelled and re launched, cancelled and re launched...Spider-Girl was given a lot more breaks than XHY--a book that was killed even though it actually, you know, turned a profit.

Joss there's been no official confirmation of Spider-Girl's cancellation or downgrading to a mini, despite what Richard says. In fact the writer has said nothing's changed regarding its status as an ongoing. So unless Richard can cite a source stating otherwise, I'm gonna consider it an ongoing. I plan on judging it based on its merits and not the regretable, but understandable, cancellation of the Mayday Spider-Girl series.

I won't be following the new SG series. Too much heartache. As far as De Falco's itv was concerned I read it here: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/defalco-spidergirl-the-end-1 00621.html

Just read it. Is Tom DeFalco disappointed? Clearly. Pissed? I didn't interprete anything he was quoted as saying that supported this statement.

@Adam " So unless Richard can cite a source stating otherwise"
I heard it from Ron. Though when I head back to Pittsburgh for the Christmas holiday next month I'm sure I could get more detailed info when I see him.
@Sebastien "I would love Frenz and Buscema on the Amazing Spider-Man title."
If you only knew how much those guys really LOVE to work on super hero titles. I can personally vouch for Ron, the guy eats, breathes and sleeps super hero/adventure comic books. (and I don't mean the modern day dark/slasher titles, I mean the classic style of story telling.)

You can be sure that De Falco won't ostensibly say he's mad at Marvel for cancelling his series when Brevoort and Quesada saved it so many times before. In another itv I can't find anymore De falco says it was a huge mistake launching an all new all different SG so soon after the demise of the previous one. If De Falco should say curse words at Marvel he won't do it via the internet. Everybody knows that new SG series won't last 12 years like MayDay's did. Concerning the De Falco/Frenz team on ASM that'd be a wish come true but I'm pretty sure those people are now seen as has-beens by current Marvel staff. I loved SG so much I'll treat myself with a SPIDER GIRL commission by Frenz by the end of the year.

Well, apparently there's been a swerve regarding Hobgoblin: Its NOT Kingsley, after all. Kingsley was going to become the Hobgoblin again, but was killed by the person who became the new Hobgoblin. The new Hobgoblin is....Phil Ulrich, who is apparently nuts. He's now a villain, not a heroic Hobgoblin. (Keep in mind I'm getting my info from readers at another board; I'm not reading any comics right now, and had boycotted Spider-Man books due to BND before I quit, anyway)

I bought the comic yesterday, flicked through it this morning and that seems a pretty fair plot summary from what I saw. Getting a little tired of the whole - let's kill someone for the heck of it - that's going on at the moment. Just don't write about them, don't kill them.

Joss, you clearly stated that DeFaclo has said that he is pissed at Marvel for cancelling Spider-Girl. There's a HUGE difference between saying that starting a new Spider-Girl title so soon after cancelling the other and he's pissed at Marvel. If he hasn't made the statement you credited him as saying, you may want to take more care to stick to the man's words in the future. That's how damaging rumors get started and nobody deserves to have to be the victim of that stuff.

I'm not sure exactly how Ron Frenz would have inside knowledge that the new Spider-Girl series starring the former Arana is being canceled/curtailed before the writer of said series does.
At any rate, two issues into Big Time and I'm hooked. I hope Dan Slott's on this title for a berry, berry long time.

So does Arana have a new costume, or did they just change her name from Arana to Spider-Girl?

Here's her costume:
I BELIEVE that it's the costume that Julia Carpenter/Spider-Woman/Arachne was last using.
