New release: Spider-Girl, issue #15

On the trail of the Chameleon, Betty Brant has travelled to another dimension and landed in Gotham City, home to the vigilante crimefighters, Batman and Batgirl. They too are seeking the master of disguise, although they know him as False Face. The Chameleon meanwhile has allied himself with former district attorney Harvey Dent, AKA Two-Face. None of this concerns Betty Brant right now though, as at Bruce Wayne’s invitation, she has a ball to attend as his disguised guest…

On to a two-week schedule (just) with this issue – wish me luck to continue on it… this is actually the biggest ever issue of the series, although I didn’t set out for that to be the case… guess I just got carried away especially at the end. So settle in, get your favourite beverage and enjoy the story… and of course, please let me know what you think of it in the comments below or via email.

New release: Spider-Girl, issue #14

When the master of disguise known as the Chameleon was judged to be the greatest threat to her double identity, Spider-Girl enlisted the Fantastic Four to banish him to another dimension. Now, having discovered the Chameleon is still causing havoc, Spider-Girl has crossed dimensions to track him down…

I know it’s been a real long while between issues but please, do tell me what you think. I was considerably creaky starting this one, so don’t expect my best work, but I do like the way it turned out. Anyway; comments are always welcome, especially speculation and your ideas for how the story might go in future!

New release: Spider-Girl, issue #13

Issue #13: Crossing Over

The definitive end to the Dr. Octopus arc… even though Dr. Octopus doesn’t appear in it, the repercussions of Spider-Girl’s confrontation with him will be felt for a long time to come. This is really a ‘bridging’ issue, wrapping up a lot of plot threads and pointing the way towards Crossover, as you might have guessed from the title….

Finally, to anyone leaving an anonymous comment: thanks for starting to leave your initials… makes it so much easier to figure out who’s saying what. Keep it up for me okay!

More news on ‘what’s next’ soon.

New release: Spider-Girl, issue #12

Issue #12: Turning Points

The concluding issue of the Dr Octopus arc! Believe me when I say that after this issue, things will never be quite the same for Betty Brant!

Sorry this has been a long time in coming, but editing and proofreading it took a while, as it’s close to 13k words!! Get comfortable though, enjoy, and let me know what you think.

Quick tip of the hat to Steve Zink for the title of this issue; by complete coincidence it turns out that it’s the same title as he used in the single issue continuation of my original two issues of this series, all those moons ago. There are other coincidental similarities too!

Finally, to any anonymous commenters: I love ya and want to hear your views! But would it hurt to leave a single initial with your comment, or maybe two? Help me keep tracking of who’s saying what! I can’t track our chats otherwise, and I really want to do that… cheers!

That’s all for now. More news soon. As always, if you enjoyed the issue or the series, consider clicking on an ad for me.

The second half of this four-issue arc… things get very interesting for Betty this time out. As you can probably guess from the title….

This issue has some of my all-time favourite scenes in it, which I’ve written about previously… even though it was tough to write. It’s a big one (11k words) and there’s a lot of plot to swallow, but it’s all important, I promise you. When everything comes together in the next issue, you’ll need to know where you stand… and trust me, what happens in this issue and next will have repercussions in the series for a loooong time to come.

Love to hear what you think of the issue; if you comment using the anonymous option, do me a favour and leave an initial or a pseudonym or something so I know who’s talking! Email always welcome as well. After last week’s issue the mailbox has been bare, so I’d like reassuring you’re all out there…!

Hold tight folks… keep your arms inside the car at all times. This is the penultimate issue of this arc, and it is a doozy (and I ain’t just saying that). I told you last time that I thought you wouldn’t be able to guess where this issue would go… tell me I’m wrong!

What’s more, we’ve still got an issue to go… and a few more surprises to boot. Enjoy the issue, and do let me know what you think by leaving a comment here, sending an email, a carrier pigeon, semaphore… whatever is your preferred method.

There are two more issues of this arc to go, and I think after you read this issue you’ll be left wondering just where we go next… suffice to say, I don’t think you’ll be able to guess (but feel free to try!).

Comments as always are welcome… which villains should Spider-Girl face? What situations do you want to see her in? And most important of all… who should she become next? Answers on a postcard, please….
