The Amazing Spider-Man Family
Spider-Man Family (later retitled The Amazing Spider-Man Family) is a comic book series published by Marvel Comics. It began as a series of one-shots written and penciled by various writers and artists before becoming a bi-monthly ongoing series with the first issue cover-dated February 2007. Its initial writer was Sean McKeever. Each issue of "Spider-Man Family" contained brand new stories featuring Spider-Man and his supporting cast, reprints of classic Spider-Man tales, and an English translation of the original Japanese manga, "Spider-Man J". In June 2008, "Spider -Man Family" was relaunched as "The Amazing Spider-Man Family", and became a showcase title for many of the divergent timelines that were present at this point in the franchise. In addition to strips set in the "Brand New Day" timeline, a strip exploring the early days of Peter Parker's life as Spider-Man was also included. Another feature, Mr. and Mrs. Spider-Man, written by Tom DeFalco, took place within Marvel's MC2 continuity. In November 2008, Joe Quesada confirmed on his blog that cult favourite Spider-Girl would be moving to "Amazing Spider-Man Family" in April  2009. On July 13, 2009, Marvel announced a new monthly anthology title, "Web of Spider-Man", to replace "The Amazing Spider-Man Family". Unlike "The Amazing Spider-Man Family", it featured only new stories, with backup stories initially starring Spider-Girl, then switching to Jackpot.
