Anya Sofia Corazon: Spider-Girl Appreciation 2018

[Sardorim]

Short History Time!

Whether you love her, hate her or simply tolerate her it cannot be said enough that Anya Corazon is our Spider-Girl! Like literally, she's the 616 Spider-Girl.

Annnnyway... Anya initially went by the alias Araña after getting a sweet tattoo from the Webcorps, when they saved her life, and even had the ability to create an Exoskeleton! Eventually she left the Webcorps and went solo than as Ms. Marvel's sidekick whom became a mother figure for her. During Civil War the Doomsday Man brutally tore off her Exoskeleton and left her depowered, however she continued her heroics anyway.

Eventually she got a costume update during the Grim Hunt story-line after getting Arachne's old costume, when Julia took up the name Madam Web after the previous one died, though she still went by Araña. However she officially changed her alias to Spider-Girl, despite being depowered still, because everyone kept calling her that, even Spider-Woman made that mistake.

Later on Rulk worked with Anya's father on an investigation but both were poisoned by an organization called Raven and a berserk Rulk accidently killed her father, this act almost caused Anya to give up being Spider-Girl. However, Anya didn't let grief get in the way and she agreed to work with Rulk to track down and stop Raven after learning the truth. Also, it turns out Sue Richards was an old friend of her father's... Somehow. Huh.

Eventually she turned to Spider-Man to help her uncover Raven which was interested in Anya because they wanted to brainwash her into serving them and had captured her friend Rocky. While fighting the Raven Agents she discovered her powers had returned and worked with Spider-Man and Rulk to take them down as well as saving her friend Rocky who already knew that Anya was Spider-Girl after Anya unmasked in front of her.

Then Spider-Island happened and Anya helped save the day. Though strangely enough she wasn't affected by the "Cure" and kept her powers for some unknown reason. Bizarre...

Finally Inhumanity happened where Anya sought the Avengers help, learned how they operated and even got a new costume which she immediately updated after its flaws became apparent!

Now she's set to appear in the Spiderverse crossover, though in her original Spider-Girl costume it seems, and in the Grim Hunt What-If it was revealed that Anya is very much tied to the Web like Spider-Man is.

Whew, that's done! Anyway, I'm excited to see Anya participate more on the Spider-Side of things and it's great that she'll be in Spiderverse! I hope that she plays a continued role in all things Spider-Man after that event as well, loved when she teamed up with Spider-Man! If anyone can teach her about being a heroic Spider-Person isn't Spider-Man! Besides, she could use some time away from the Avengers to going web swinging and fighting street crime with the one and only Spider-Man!

Her latest costume is going to take some getting used to but I'm willing to give it a chance.

I've only read her arc in Avengers Assemble, but I absolutely loved her in it! I have her past things in my unlimited library to catch up on.

She's fun and quirky, and I'm looking forward to seeing when she shows up again. I really want more of the Spider ladies (Anya, Jessica, and Natasha) team up from that AA arc.

[Sardorim]

She really wants to team up with them, huh?

Jessica seems to be enjoying the way Black Widow is squirming with Anya acting like a curious teenager.

[Loulou]

I don't know that she would on a regular basis. I just want her too because I thought it was great for the issue and a half they were working together in AA. Her whole arc there was a lot of fun.

[Sardorim]

Well she has strong ties with the Avengers and the Spider-Stuff so she could be a regular in either. Personally I want her to get more involved in street stuff with Spider-Man, they make a great team-up.

[Loulou]

Yeah I could see that. I've been mostly an Avengers girl since I started reading comics last year, but I'm slowly working my way into the Spider world now. I read the Grim Hunt story, which she was in for a bit. So I found out how she got her black costume, and I did like her interaction with Spidey and everyone. I've also read the first issue of her Spider Girl series, which was great. I have the rest bookmarked to read when I have time. So I'm not opposed to seeing her get more involved in that stuff, it'd probably even get me to buy some spidey books :-)

[Loulou]

It was a really great learning arc for her and I wonder if it'll get a trade as I prefer trades over individual issues.

It is getting a trade. Avengers Assemble: Forgeries of Jealousy I think its called. I wanna say June its supposed to be released...

[Sardorim]

Odd name but that's good news, thanks for the info!

[Loulou]

Your Welcome :-)

And yeah I thought it was a little odd too, but I guess it kinda fits with the bad lady.

[Sardorim]

Hah, Anya seems to be genre knowledgeable if she knows what happens if Spider-Man doesn't save them.

It'll force itself into their bodies than explode out the stomach just like in Aliens!



Anya and Rachel Summers have sweet tattoos, they should compare.



Seems that Peter rubs off on everyone, she's so excited when she's the Spider-Girl!

[Punisher007]

A Hentai joke, that's amusing.

Huh? What's that got to do with Aliens? Don't tell me you never watched Aliens or that scene when that thing popped out of the guys stomach!

Also, it turns out Sue Richards was an old friend of her father's... Somehow. Huh.

Many said before that it was an attempt to associate her with the Fantastic Four like how Spidey is best buds with Torch, but the dynamic is definitely different, more of mother-daughter (or aunt-niece if you prefer). If you still want her to have FF ties, with whom should it be? Alex Power?

[Hypestyle]

what are her powers?
