About this Issue

Spider-Girl #1 (2025) marks the solo debut of Makawalu 'Maka' Akana, the fourth Earth-616 character to carry the Spider-Girl mantle and Marvel's first Hawaiian Spider-hero headlining her own ongoing series. Unlike every predecessor under the spider-totem banner, Maka's abilities derive not from radioactive accident or mystical ritual but from a mutant power-copying gift, placing her squarely at the intersection of the X-Men's mutant-rights world and the Spider-Man street-level corner of the Marvel Universe. The issue also marks a rare redemption-arc launch for a Spider-title protagonist: Maka begins her heroic career as a former villain and Bullseye protégé, giving the series a moral complexity unusual for an all-ages-pitched debut. As the first chapter of a complete seven-issue run, it serves as the sole extended showcase of a character created only months earlier in Spider-Boy, cementing her place in the Spider-Girl legacy.

History

The character of Makawalu Akana was created by writer Dan Slott and designer Michael Cho and first appeared in Spider-Boy #11–12 (2024), spun out of Slott and artist Paco Medina's Spider-Boy ongoing. Marvel announced the solo series at the ComicsPro trade event in February 2025, tapping Torunn Grønbekk — known for her runs on Venom and Thor — as writer, paired with André Risso, marking Risso's debut as a Marvel Comics artist. The series launched June 11, 2025, and ran for seven issues before concluding in December 2025.

Trivia · 8 facts

Solo series debut of Spider-Girl (Makawalu 'Maka' Akana), the fourth Earth-616 character to use the Spider-Girl name and the first Hawaiian protagonist to headline a Spider-title.
Maka is a mutant, not a spider-bite or magic-derived hero: her power is psychomimetic ability — she copies the skills, knowledge, and physical abilities of anyone she makes eye contact with, and permanently retained spider-powers absorbed from Spider-Boy (Bailey Briggs).
Maka was created by writer Dan Slott and designer Michael Cho; she first appeared in Spider-Boy #11–12 (2024) as the villainous Funhouse, Bullseye's sidekick, before her heel-face turn.
Written by Torunn Grønbekk (Venom, Thor) with art by André Risso — Risso's Marvel Comics debut — and a cover by David Nakayama; colorist Javier Tartaglia completes the creative team.
The issue pits Spider-Girl against Vermin (Edward Whelan), a mutate villain created by J.M. DeMatteis and Mike Zeck who first appeared in Captain America #272 (1982) and is most associated with 'Kraven's Last Hunt'; his appearance here introduces Maka to the classic Spider-Man villain ecosystem.
Doctor Tramma — a cybernetics black-market surgeon linked to Mr. Negative who had last appeared circa 2010 — is established as the series' main antagonist across its first five issues, representing a notable revival of a long-dormant Spider-Man supporting villain.
David Bond / Hijack, a mutant technopath created by Brian Michael Bendis who debuted in Uncanny X-Men (2013), appears in a major supporting role across the series — his most substantial comics presence since the Brian Michael Bendis X-Men era.
The series ran for seven issues total (June–December 2025), making this first issue the entry point to a complete, self-contained story arc rather than an open-ended ongoing.
