Spider-Girl #7

Spider-Girl faces a serious power mismatch in this April 1999 Marvel Comics 2 entry, with the cover by Patrick Olliffe and Al Williamson showing her squaring off against the gold-and-blue Nova, who blasts her with a burst of energy while a red-clad figure — Darkdevil — lies collapsed in the foreground. The dialogue bubbles crackle with attitude, Nova dismissing her as "young missy" while Spider-Girl fires right back with "What a jerk!" — capturing her spirit perfectly. As a bonus, the issue also promises a feature called "The Last Days of Spider-Man," making this a packed read from Tom DeFalco and the creative team.
