and Mary Jane. Peter continues his career as Spider-Man and begins to cope with the additional headaches of raising an infant daughter with his wife. According to DeFalco, the events of " The Final Chapter" take place two years after this series. Mayday is six months old when the series begins, and is two when Peter loses his leg in a final battle with the Green Goblin, ending his career as Spider-Man. The strip was originally intended to run in the closing issue of the ''Spider-Man Family'' volume, but was held back to launch within the rebranded title. A podcast interview with DeFalco in November 2008 confirmed that, due to Spider-Girl becoming an integral part of ''Amazing Spider-Man Family'', ''Mr and Mrs. Spider-Man'' would become a casualty and be concluded. Only four storylines were written. The strips were later collected in a trade paperback of ''The Spectacular Spider-Girl.''
