New York, NY— May 17, 2024 — It’s all been leading to this! Over the last few years, fans have been reacquainted with Spider-Verse icons AND discovered all-new favorites in the blockbuster hit EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE comic book series. Now, see the final evolution of this saga in SPIDER-SOCIETY, a new limited series launching this August.
From acclaimed author Alex Segura (Secret Identity) and rising star Marvel artist Scott Godlewski (Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace), SPIDER-SOCIETY will spin the entire multiverse into one epic saga! Fans got their first taste earlier this year in a special prelude story in the Web of Spider-Man one-shot. That action packed tale saw Miguel O’Hara, AKA Spider-Man 2099, attacked by a new army of villains led by an alternate universe’s Gwen Stacy who became the Green Goblin! Two more teaser stories in Edge of Spider-Verse #1 and #4 further set up Weapon VIII and Araña’s involvement. That was only the beginning. In addition to heroes, SPIDER-SOCIETY will introduces a wild cadre of Spider-Villains from the multiverse known as the SINISTER SQUADRON. It’s a grouping of villains like you’ve never seen, and to defend the very fabric of the universe, Madame Web will recruit EVERY Spider-Hero there ever was for an unprecedented war that will redefine the web of life!
It’s every Spider-Character you love (and some you haven’t met yet)! May the first meeting of the Spider-Society commence! That’s right, every Spider-Person will be in the same room for the craziest assembly the Multiverse has ever seen!
“We’ve had such a blast building toward and teasing SPIDER-SOCIETY in the pages of Web of Spider-Man and Edge of Spider-Verse,” Segura shared. “I hope readers enjoy the amazing roster of Spider-Heroes we’re bringing together to face off a new, but eerily familiar threat. Scott Godlewski’s the perfect choice to bring our Spider-Verse adventure to life, and his take on the Spider-Heroes, from Spider-Man 2099 to Spider-Ramen, is spot-on. Readers can expect a wild multiversal ride full of surprises and fun character moments, evoking the Spider-Verse tales they love. August can’t come fast enough!”
Check out a small fraction of the Spider-Heroes you’ll come across in Pete Woods main cover along with best-selling cover artist Artgerm’s Spider-Gwen variant cover, which will also be available as a virgin variant cover. Witness the finale of Edge of Spider-Verse next week and don’t miss the start of this incredible new series when it launches this August. For more information, visit Marvel.com.
