And now we know why. The comic book in question will introduce Spider-Girl as a new character alongside Spider-Boy. She has ties to the Spider-Verse and to the Marvel Universe, but we don't know why more right now.
Just that she has been created by Dan Slott and Paco Medina and her first appearance will be in Spider-Boy #12 published by Marvel Comics in October.
Previously, Spider-Girl, Mayday Parker, was a superheroine created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz as the teenage daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson, and first appeared in What If #105 in 1998. She later acquired her own ongoing comic book, Spider-Girl, written by DeFalco and drawn by Frenz and Pat Olliffe, which became the longest-running superhero book with a lead female character ever published by Marvel before being relaunched as The Amazing Spider-Girl, and later The Spectacular Spider-Girl. The character made her movie debut in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, with an infant Mayday depicted as the daughter of Peter B. Parker and his universe's Mary Jane Watson. But this appears to be a very different Spider-Girl indeed, and you'll probably have to wait till October for a better idea of what's going on.
