Spider-Girl’s presence could suggest that she has a chance of replacing Spider-Boy has Spider-Man’s sidekick.
The Spider-Man Family of superheroes is adding an all-new member in the form of Spider-Girl, Marvel has announced at San Diego Comic-Con Last year, the Spider-Verse grew unexpectedly bigger with the debut of Spider-Boy, especially with the revelation that he’d apparently been by Spidey’s side since the beginning.
Now it’s Spider-Girl’s time to leap onto the page, starting with Spider-Boy #12 by Dan Slott, Michael Cho, and Paco Medina. Medina’s cover art with variant covers by Mark Bagley and Elizabeth Torque can be viewed below. And immediately, speculation can begin as to who this Spider-Girl could truly be, where she’s come from, and how this could change the Spider-Verse forever.
How Spider-Girl affects Spider-Man’s life remains to be seen, but could she be replacing Bailey Briggs already as Spidey’s next premiere sidekick?

Spider-Boy #12 by Dan Slott, Michael Cho, and Paco Medina
Complicated backstory aside, Spider-Boy is still relatively new to the Marvel Universe as far as readers are concerned. Still, after Spider-Boy #9, the most recent issue, he might be dying for good already, at least as far as his Spider comrades are concerned. In that issue, he gets sucked into the Spider-Verse so deeply that his Spider-Family can’t trace where he’s gone (in reality, he’s fallen into Earth-67, where J. Jonah Jameson wants Bailey to take pictures of Spider-Boy). His disappearance compels Spider-Man to make another deal with Mephisto, and Spider-Boy #12’s summary hints at the ramifications.
Debuting in SPIDER-BOY #12, Slott and designer/artist Michael Cho created the new Spider-Hero that superstar artist Paco Medina will take through her first on-page adventure! SPIDER-GIRL’s mysterious backstory will supersede even Spider-Boy’s shocking origin! Just as the emergence of Spider-Boy turned the Spider-Verse inside out and fueled fan speculation for months, SPIDER-GIRL has a story to share that will keep readers guessing and make Spider-Man, Spider-Boy, and all the rest question EVERYTHING! The upcoming issue of SPIDER-BOY will also feature an exciting team-up with Daredevil.
As readers eagerly anticipate the next issue of Spider-Boy, one has to assume that Spider-Boy’s disappearance and Spider-Man’s deal with the devil may both be the direct cause of Spider-Girl’s sudden reappearance. It also appears as if Spider-Girl may be similar to that of Spider-Boy’s, if not, then the summary promises it to be even more shocking. The implication may be that she, too, could have been a seemingly pre-existing character who no one remembers because she was erased from existence.

Spider-Boy May Need a New Mentor
The summary also hints that Spider-Boy may need to start being someone else’s sidekick, and he might do that with a Daredevil team-up. Spider-Boy secret, forgotten history has seen him trained by some surprising Marvel heroes, including being trained by Daredevil. It could just be a case of him receiving new training from Daredevil, but it could also be a sign that for some reason, Spider-Man has found a new sidekick in Spider-Girl. If that’s the case, then Spider-Girl could be causing more harm to the Spider-Man Family than good.
