Making her first appearance in Marvel Comics' What If... #105, May Parker (a.k.a. Spider-Girl) is getting a second lease on life. Well, actually a third. Back in 1998, Marvel gave Spider-Girl her own title of the same name under their M2 line.

Spider-Girl, the only title to remain after the cancellation of the M2 line, went on to become the longest running superhero title with a female lead ever to be published by Marvel Comics. Despite the threat of cancellation looming over the title several times, fans rallied to save the title and now the character is set to make a third comeback in this October.

The Amazing Spider-Girl #0, a 48-page special, will serve as a jumping on point for new readers, as well as a way for longtime fans to relive May's greatest moments. Following the special, the first issue of The Amazing Spider Girl, written Tom DeFalco with art by Ron Frenz, will hit store with an amazing alternate cover by Ed McGuinness.

With one of the greatest fanbases in all of comics, Spider-Girl, it seems, will be here for the duration.
