“Spider-Boy, why’d you create that girl?”

[remial]

Spiderboy is apparently at THAT age...

[superfangirl1]

In a very special edition of Spider-boy. Peter Parker tries to explain to him about the birds and the bees.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

"There are birds and bees as well as spiders?! Why doesn't any of this make sense?!"

[cainofdreaming]

"Well, there was a Bird-Man..."

[knight_moves]

"Noir, you tell him about the birds and the bees."

[chalicother]

The Lawyer?

[remial]

... and the clones, and the paracitic wasps, and the ...

He was pregnant that one time. I am sure he will explain it well.

I hope they remembered to appease Tom DeFalco before creating a new Spider-Girl.

[beyondthefringe]

I wonder what her codename was before. Kid Bullseye? The Target? Little Miss Hits The Mark?

[knight_moves]

I know everyone likes the Silver Age and all, but it just seems dumb to me to have this "I got my own sidekick, Daredevil, neiner neiner!" stuff after Bullseye murdered Daredevil's girlfriend in front of him. It's like Darkseid showing up in Young Justice, only there it worked because Darkseid's 'genre' is kinda whimsical anyway, whereas Daredevil and Bullseye are gritty and mature--it just feels wrong. Like if in Gladiator, Maximus and Commodus had animal sidekicks who chased each other around with mallets while Commodus was talking about having his men rape Maximus's wife.

The setup's a psycho employing a kid to do violent work for his own jollies - that would easily've fit into something like Miller or Nocenti-written Daredevil.

[knight_moves]

If Miller or Nocenti wrote it, it'd be something like a kid who ran away from home with his father's gun, wearing jeans and a Voltron T-shirt. It'd be a one-issue story and the cover would be something like the kid crying while holding the gun on Daredevil.

Miller would have the kid eating rats.

Pretty silly last page reveal if it's spoiled by the cover. That should be the front of the next issue!

Although, cover Spider-Girl is wearing blue and red and has brown hair, while the interior has her in red and black and with black hair. Maybe they're different people!

[cyberghostface]

It's not the last page, the fight goes on for a little bit. The regular cover is just Spider-Boy and Daredevil but the variant covers all have the new Spider-Girl.

[shakalooloo]

Cool. Then I happily retract my earlier statement!
