The creation of the new Spider-Girl begins when Spider-Boy and Daredevil die in a “fatal issue.”
Following the reveal of the impending debut of a new Spider-Girl in the pages of October’s Spider-Boy #12 during Comic-Con International: San Diego 2024, her “secret origin” will be told starting with Spider-Boy #13 – which Marvel is touting as a “fatal issue” that could mean “the death” of Spider-Boy and Daredevil.
Written by Dan Slott, who created Spider-Girl with artist Michael Cho, Spider-Boy #13 was drawn by Paco Medina and Humberto Ramos, himself the co-creator of Spider-Boy. The issue picks up where Spider-Boy #12 left off, with Spider-Boy and Daredevil teaming up to play the newly debuting Spider-Girl.
But just as the origins of the new Spider-Girl are being explored, danger grows for Spider-Boy and Daredevil, whose lives are threatened in the issue. And while it seems unlikely that Daredevil will die in an issue of Spider-Boy, the fate of the titular hero may well be uncertain.
“Here begins the secret origin of Spider-Girl! Is she friend or foe? Either way, things are not looking good for Spider-Boy,” reads Marvel’s official promotional text for Spider-Boy #13. “This is going to be a fatal issue, especially when you learn about THE GOLDEN FANG and why it could mean the death of Spider-Boy AND Daredevil!”
The Golden Fang, which seems to be the key to the potentially terrible fate that awaits Spider-Boy and Daredevil, is indeed a mystery. The name has no equivalents in Marvel history, so it appears to be an entirely new concept.
Spider-Boy No. 13 will be released in November with a cover by Paco Medina, see above.
