Spider-Girl #23

 



Writer: Tom DeFalco
Penciller: Pat Olliffe

Synopsis: May suspects something is when a basketball player from another school is able to outplay her. 

Comments: May's suspicions about Nancy Lu with others being dismissive of them, reminded me of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Living Conditions" where Buffy was convinced that there was something strange about her college  roommate. Tom DeFalco is familiar with Buffy since Spider-Girl makes a reference to it in issue #56. For the record, "Living Conditions" aired in October 1999 and this issue came out in June 2000. 

J. Jonah Jameson wants to give May a job as a photographer. He must think it's a hereditary talent. 

The last few panels imply that May realizes she may have an unfair advantage in basketball after was guilting Nancy about using her powers responsibly.
