Marvel Comics' ongoing Spider-Woman series will conclude this week with issue #7.

It was revealed at Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle this weekend that the series was to be cancelled, reports Robot 6.

This is due to the high workload artist Alex Maleev had to deal with in producing the comic and its companion motion comic.

"Alex did the work of 24 issues just to make this story," wrote series scribe Brian Michael Bendis on his message board.

"It was a lot of concentrated Spider-Woman for one man. I got to come and go to other projects. This was all he was doing, day in and day out. When we got to [issue #7], he needed a break. I didn't want to go on with it without him.

"This was not a matter of sales or interest. We were number one on iTunes for weeks.

"Thank you for digging her as much as I. She will be in every issue of Avengers. And when the dust clears, Marvel has told us to consider returning to it and we might."
