Spider-Man's daughter goes back in black! The fearsome foes keep coming as Spider-Girl faces the new Doctor Octopus - and the old Man-Wolf, A.K.A. John Jameson! But as "Mayday" Parker fights to protect NYC from an army of invisible invaders, the Buzz finally discovers her secret identity - or does he?! The Black Tarantula renews his efforts to lure Spider-Girl to the dark side. Could that be why she's donning a black costume of her very own? When her dad did that, it led to the birth of Venom - and it won't be long before the sinister symbiote is back and targeting May's closest friends! To stop this deadly villain may require the aid of the Avengers and the Fantastic Five! The fury of the Goblin Queen, the machinations of Kaine and the return of Aftershock - and her dad, Electro!
Keeping the Faith collects Spider-Girl collects Spider-Girl #68-84. I must not have been reading comics when this title was still coming out but it's great and I'd be surprised if Marvel put out books much better than this in 2004-2005.
In this volume, May goes up against the machinations of Black Tarantula, the new Dr. Octopus, and Canis, among others, while dealing with personal drama in true Parker faction. Tom DeFalco was a little long in the tooth by this time but still put out some fun, accessible Spider stories. Ron Frenz and Pat Oliffe knock it out on art duties. I don't want to give anything away but I'm jumping into the next volume posthaste.
