Spider-Heroes Unite to Train for the Next Great Threat in The Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity!

Posted on by

All your favorite webheads will band together in a brand-new way this April in The Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity! The five-issue limited series will be written by Jordan Morris and Joe Kelly and drawn by artist Pere Perez.

Spinning directly out of Kelly’s hit run of Amazing Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity sees Norman Osborn take various Spider-heroes under his wing to train them against a deadly incoming threat—himself! Following up on Norman’s heroic turn as Spider-Man—as well as his looming descent back to madness—and bringing the entire Spider-family together as a united front, the series is an essential chapter in the lead-up to Amazing Spider-Man #1000, the mega milestone issue coming later this year.

LEARNING TO CRAWL!

Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Silk, Araña, Spider-Boy and Spider-Girl have one thing in common – THEY AREN’T READY. According to former Resolute Spider-Man Norman Osborn. So he and Spider-Woman are going to train them to meet the next threat – the only way the Green Goblin knows how. Because the next threat might well BE the Green Goblin!

NIGHT OF THE GOBLIN (SLAYERS)! Norman Osborn may be purged of his sins, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still come back to haunt him! HOBGOBLIN wants Norman out of the SPIDER-MAN game (and this life) for good — and he’s got the hyper-lethal tech of an entire goblin-slaying army at his disposal. What does Norman have…?! A Spider-Man or Woman or two who trust him as far as they can throw him…

Torment adds another victim to his death tally in the final issues of Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral!

Posted on by

Before reaching the legendary milestone Amazing Spider-Man #1000 later this year, Peter Parker and the entire Spider-family will be put through the ringer in Death Spiral, a new crossover kicking off next month. The saga begins in Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral #1, a special one-shot in February, and continues in issues of Amazing Spider-Man and Venom through April.

In Death Spiral, Amazing Spider-Man scribe Joe Kelly teams up with current symbiote storytellers Al Ewing and Charles Soule to deliver a gut-wrenching super hero drama alongside a trio of all-star artists—Ed McGuinness, Carlos Gómez, and Jesús Saíz.

Spider-Man has returned to Earth just in time to face Carnage, who’s discovered Spider-Man’s secret identity in the mind of his newest host, Eddie Brock! When Spider-Man and Venom team up against the killer symbiote, another shocking secret is revealed as Peter Parker discovers that Mary Jane is the All-New Venom! It’s a collision course of danger that explodes when Peter, Mary Jane, and Eddie find themselves in the crosshairs of Torment, a new serial killer supervillain with a mysterious—and deeply personal—connection to Spider-Man. No one is safe as Spider-Man, Venom and Carnage join forces to figure out who Torment is and stop their loved ones from getting caught in his web of death!

Read on to learn more about the event’s final chapters—but brace yourself, for not everyone will survive Torment’s killing spree!
