On October 11, 2008, Tom DeFalco announced that "Amazing Spider-Girl" would be canceled with issue No. 30, though he revealed that, due to the company's love for the character, she could possibly be given a sixteen-page back-up strip in "The Amazing Spider-Man Family". On November 8, 2008, Marvel EIC Joe Quesada confirmed that Spider-Girl would become a feature in the monthly anthology magazine "Amazing Spider-Man Family". The series would replace the feature "Mr. and Mrs. Spider-Man", written by DeFalco, which served as a prequel series to the Spider-Girl universe.
