Amazing Spider-Girl #1; written by Tom Defalco with pencils and cover by Ron Frenz
Takes a lot to knock Spider-Man down and the same is true for his daughter, May. In one continuity, she never really existed, but in the MC2 universe, she's alive and well, kicking down the baddies after her pops rested his cogs. They may get knocked down, but they'll get back up and they won't ever be kept down.
"Whatever happened to the daughter of Spider-Man?"
A complete single issue story!
Ever wonder why Spider-Girl fans are the, most vocal, most active comic fans of all? Here's your chance to finally find out! Join us for the start of our second 100 issues as May "Mayday" Parker learns that she can't escape her great responsibilities!
Featuring the original Hobgoblin, the Black Tarantula -- and more!
Amazing Spider-Girl #1 from Marvel Comics
Henry Flint and Andersen Gabrych go down on six through DC Comics with
The Omega Men. Where if it feels like the end of the world, then running rampant and causing destruction is all that's called for right? Well, that's what the last remaining Omega Men are doing.
Virgin Comics tell a quaint little family story with
John Woo's Seven Brothers. In the mire of fulfilling an ancient prophecy are Garth Ennis and Jeevan Kang. How about that, they even have an Aussie in the brothers line up.
Five parts to the Devil's child and it's
Hellstorm: Son Of Satan. From Marvel Comics and, raising (oh, it's being said) hell with Alexander Irvine, Russell Braun and Klaus Janson on fire and brimstone supplies.
Dave Dwonch watches from the chalkboard as a kid with no powers finds himself at a high school where all the kids do have super powers. It's time for some
Special Education from National Press Comics.
Dynamite Entertainment bring it on with
Highlander. There can be only one, but there are the likes of Brandon Jerwa, Mike Avon Oeming and Lee Moder handling the skills to represent. Slightly off write up voice for this comic. Noted.
Spider-Girl isn't the only return with the veritable feast of them Jim Lee pencils as
Wildcats: Worldstorm smacks a dab of the reintroduction of the team. Grant Morrison and Scott Williams flanking the ranks. Whatever that means in this context.
And don't forget a dip of
The Authority with Morrison teaming it up with Gene Ha from Wildstorm.

Ghost Rider #1; written by Daniel Way, art by Javier Saltares and Mark Texeira, colours by Dan Brown
Nicolas Cage and a hotted out motorbike from hell are set to blaze the silver screens in
Ghost Rider. Until the movie with a toupee, fire and flames and Eva Mendes hits, Blaze returns again to the comics. (But what happened to Danny Ketch? Ketch?)
Once upon a time, Johnny Blaze made a deal with the Devil... and to no one's surprise but his own, he got shafted. Now trapped in hell, with the Spirit of Vengeance bonded to his immortal soul and weighing him down, Johnny may have finally found a way out.
But at what cost?
From the depths of Hell to the glittering spires of Heaven, the Ghost Rider rides again in his first ongoing series in nearly a decade, blazing new trails and dispensing fiery vengeance in his wake.
The demonic team of Daniel Way, Mark Texeira and Javier Saltares reunite to put ol' Flamehead back in the saddle where he belongs. Ready or not, here he comes!
Ghost Rider.
Where is every super soldier on the battlefront against "terrorism" a weapon of mass destruction? Over the trenches in Image Comic's
Task Force 1. Jeffery Stevenson and Carlos Rodriguez handle the side fire.
Horror takes a ride in the kiddy car seat as Steve Niles and Ben Roman deliver
The Cryptics. It's where the little monsters grow up.
Like Yin and Yang are in the genes of Grace Stokes in Top Cow's
The Innocents from David Wohl and Bing Casino.
After Shock, Michael Dolce and Daniel Leister ask the question, "What if you were forced to be Superman?" in
The Sire. Apparently the kind of forced which includes the stabbing and the hurting in the heart pain.
It's the Revolutionary War and Paul Revere is riding his high horse. This time, from
Alias Enterprises,
Revere be a werewolf hunting machine with Ed Lavallee and Grant Bond on board.
Garth Ennis and Carlos Ezquerra shoot out from the Wildstorm of DC Comics with
A Man Called Kev.
Andy Hartnell and Nick Bradshaw join forces again and set things
Rokkin. A fantasy with blood, guts and lots of gooey mess from Wildstorm.
Also from DC are
The Next. A group of super powered people who cross over from another dimension and bring with them some chaos for good measure. By the loins of Tad Williams, Dietrich Smith and Walden Wong.
Oni Press sinks the world and one hundred years later, we're left with
Wasteland. Desolate, apocalyptic, Kevin Costner? New series from Antony Johnston and Christopher Mitten.
End of days for May "Mayday" Parker as
Spider-Girl closes out with the final issue and a nice record of 100 issues from Marvel and Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz. Not bad for a series ever on the verge of cancellation.
