A new comic array has only strike the stands starring a womanlike chronicle of Spider-Man.
Spider-Girl - aka Anya Corazon - is a 16-year-old high-school tyro of Latino skirmish who lives in New York.
The makers, Marvel Comics, say she provides a positive, modern picture of an empowered young woman.
Unlike many superheroes, she has no superpowers, but she is lerned in martial arts and has glorious fighting skills.
Marvel hope the comic will allure to the flourishing number of young womanlike comic book readers.
"People wish to read stories with characters they describe to," says Spider-Girl editor Tom Brennan. "We of course hope that young women will collect this up and suffer it."
Spider-Girl wears a skin-tight black clothes with a considerable colorless blue spider emblazed opposite her front, and is really toned and strong.
Writer Paul Tobin told the BBC that it was critical to him not to execute her in a "sexualised" way, or as a "trophy" girl.
There is "definitely space in the marketplace for a burly well-written womanlike character", says Martin Averre who runs 4 comic book shops opposite the UK.
"Many comics still sadly pull women with incredibly considerable breasts. If they obtain knocked over they drop in a not similar way to men," he told the BBC.
Spider-Girl's parent is an inquisitive contributor and she, similar to Spider-Man, has a burly clarity of justice.
She lacks Spider-Man's signature skill to clasp to all sorts of surfaces with a special web, but she is not partial on action says her creator.
"She's a lerned fighter, she can pitch by the streets of New York the way Spider-Man does," says Mr Tobin.
She is not a relations of Spider-Man and they are not, he stresses, beloved and girlfriend.
As the storyline develops the two characters will infrequently work together on missions, with Spider-Man personification something of a coach role.
Spider-Girl has only vanished on sale in the US, and will be existing in the UK from 18 November.
Comic book emporium owners Martin Averre has systematic a few copies, but says it is hard to envision how it will sell. "It's a far tougher marketplace than it used to be," he contends.
Comic readers right away have thousands of titles to select from, and new ones are launched every month, he says.
Previous attempts to launch a Spider-Girl disposition have depressed rather flat, with only medium sales.
But Mr Averre points out that the new revamped Spider-Girl, unlike her progressing incarnations, can correlate with the other superheroes, that is "always renouned with readers".
Modern-day Spider-Girl has her own Twitter river run by Paul Tobin, with infrequent help from his wife. He admits that as a 44 year-old man, "it may be hard at times" to put himself in the boots of a 16-year-old girl.
But, he adds, "it's type of fun!"
Spider-Girl is really active traffic with threats in her comic book life, he says.
"But in the tweets she may be a small more whimsical. So her disposition is building there as well."
