Can a superhero still be a superhero without her powers? That's the question May "Mayday" Parker keeps asking herself in this sixth volume of the popular "Spider-Girl" series, which follow the adventures of the daughter of Spider-Man. After an accident robs her of her superhuman abilities, May strikes up a friendship with a reformed villain who lends her his old equipment so that she can continue her superhero career. However, this decision doesn't sit well with May's famous father, Peter Parker, who worries that May will be seriously hurt if she fights crime without the benefit of superpowers. Despite this, May's commitment to helping people never wavers as she continues rehabilitating villains and even restoring the faith of a few disillusioned heroes. Writer Tom DeFalco introduces an all-new, inexperienced Spider-Man imposter in later chapters, and he winds up serving as a foil to the more confident hero Spider-Girl has become. A fun, dramatic entry in the Spider-Girl digest series, fans should know that Spider-Girl's adventures continue in Betrayed (Volume 7), Duty Calls (Volume 8), and Secret Lives (Volume 9).
