In DeConnick, Ellis, Buffagni and Woodard's hands, Anya is a character I would follow to any book and it suddenly feels like a crime that she doesn't have one. But such is the power of the right creative team writing a character they're fond of -- magic can happen, even in an otherwise inconsequential book.

The art by Matteo Buffagni is a nice fit for the story as well as the characters with his clean, yet detailed line. Spider-Girl looks the age she is, adding to her endearment.
