Spider-Girl #9

Spider-Girl #9 brings some serious dramatic tension with a cover teasing "The Long-Awaited Defeat of Spider-Girl!" — a bold provocation rendered in striking cover art by Patrick Olliffe and Al Williamson. The cover spotlights a blue-and-brown-costumed villain dominating the foreground, microphone in hand, while Spider-Girl's red-suited figure is caught mid-action in the background amid bursts of energy. Tom DeFalco's "Training Matters!" looks to put May Parker through her paces in this 1999 Marvel series that keeps proving there's plenty of web-slinging life in the next generation.
