Spider-Girl #4

The art changed. I like the new style but it really sets an odd tone for the book compared to what had been set up already.
Kraven's daughter wanted to kill Spider-man only he tells her that she isn't good enough and that she must kill Spider-girl first.
She stops a burglar who then begs her not to, as he says he needs the money to pay his rent or his girlfriend will leave him etc. She punches him in the face. I figured she could have actually helped him rather than just go in fists a blazing. It's kinda the same conundrum that Superman faced recently where he let a polluting power plant stay open to keep an entire town in the jobs. Spider-girl isn't that deep. She just punches things.
The colourist gets things wrong. Anya isn't black, she's more hispanic/ italian (I dunno not sure of her back story) but she isn't that dark skinned. This issue Anya gets a new room mate. Who doesn't know she's Spider-girl. Plus her creepy-paedo neighbor tries to pay the girls a visit again. Kraven's girl, Ana, has tracked Anya via following guys she has had arrested and getting info, aquiring a piece of her bolo rope and even viewing a recorded fight with youtube addicted villainess Screwball. Eventually Anya lays a trap and Ana falls into it, we end with a fight about to go down. Plus we learn Spider-man shops in a Thrift store, the hipster douche!



I'm kidding I don't mind hipsters really. Very enjoyable book still, just not sure about the change of artist.
