"Spider-Girl" heads for the big finish

Writer Tom DeFalco joined the comics press today for a Marvel teleconference on DeFalco’s upcoming “Last Planet Standing” miniseries and the 100th issue of “Spider-Girl.”

That 100th issue is slated to be the end for a series that has been on the brink pretty much since the start. “The title has lasted a lot longer than any of us ever thought, a heck of a lot longer than any of us thought,” DeFalco said.

Spider-Girl’s adventures are set in an alternate future universe. “Last Planet Standing” is also set in the MC2 universe, and the miniseries may mean the end to that universe. Or it may not: DeFalco said he has yet to write the last few pages.
