Marvel is exploding with young heroes like Spider Boy. Currently, Spider Girl is getting her own series. Spider-Girl is a mutant with special abilities. If she can look into her eyes, she can gain your skills. She also has a proportional strength of barbed wire nets and spiders. Heats the Spider Boy’s heels and escapes the Bullseye, she goes out on her adventures and tries to make friends.
Spider-Girl #1 is a fun, age-friendly opening issue. It appropriately introduced the reader to Spider Girl as a new hero who dreams of being a normal child. Thanks to her strength, she is very good at hand-to-hand combat, but that gets in the way of making friends when she can’t help her classmates’ ass kicking in the karate class.
Torunngrønbekk does a good job of filming Spider-Girl’s youthful personality and persona. She doesn’t just want to be the best, she also needs to navigate through this whole hero thing. She was tested at one point, which forced her to use her combat abilities and her unique mutant powers. She’s a bit like a Taskmaster, but not as serious as an adult.

As a Spider-Man-style character, Grønbekk gives Spider-Girl a lot of quips and comedic dialogue. It suits Spidey Vibe, but it’s unclear why she does it when that’s not how she wears her outfit. Maybe it’s a dark backstory involving Bullseye, but at face value it’s well done, but it looks there alone for that reason.
André Risso pulls out problems well, captures the agility of Spider-Girl and creates the web. This style is reminiscent of a certain level of Simone Di Meo, and the fluidity is somewhat of animated. The rendering of his spider girl outside his costume captures the era of Spider girl and her karate classmates.
Spider-Girl #1 is a promising start to balance youthful energy with superhero stakes, setting the stage for likable new characters to open up corners in the Marvel Universe. With a firm grasp of expressive art and tone, this debut issue is an interesting entry point for readers of all ages, even if a few character beats need to be more clear.
“Spider-Girl” #1 is a light and fun intro
