Today, Marvel is proud to present your first look at EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE #5 – the final chapter in the blockbuster 5-issue mini-series showcasing different Spider-Men (and women) of the Spider-Verse!
 
"In a futurist city fairly different from the New York we are familiar with, our version of Spider-Man takes the shape of a government project: SP//dr," says Gerard Way, in an interview with Marvel.com "SP//dr is comprised of three vital components: a pilot, a machine, and a radioactive sentient spider acting as one half of the brain that makes it all work. Peni Parker is a young girl, who, left parentless, is adopted by her Aunt May and Uncle Ben, the two heads of the SP//dr project. When they realize Peni is the only one who can successfully pair with SP//dr, they make the unorthodox decision to train her as SP//dr's newest pilot."
 
As Peni Parker suits up in her incredible spider-powered armor, explore the incredible new universe she inhabits. Yet even though, she pilots her unstoppable machine, it still may not be enough to save her universe from the onslaught of Morlun. Edge of Spider-Verse concludes in grand fashion this October as Way & Wyatt take you to an incredible new universe in EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE #5!

Why should we get rid of Slott as a writer? Superior was and IS fantastic. Spider-verse has been awesome so far too. Haters just gonna hate.

This might be the first Spidey comic I ever buy. Gerard Way is amazing.

Gerard Way blows at storytelling and barely makes literal sense (Umbrella Academy, how did that ever become popular?). Latour told a terrible Gwen Stacy Spiderverse story this week. I'd expect this one along the same quality.
Disappointing because I thought this might go someplace important.
At least the art is nice.

Really wishing Dan Slott had handled all of these.

Holy crap, that looks amazing and sounds like a very interesting idea for a Spider-Universe. I'm excited for this one!

Dan Slott has definitely done a decent job as a Spider-Man writer. Superior Spider-Man, although I had my reservations at first, like probably most fans, ended up being the best writing I've read in Spider-Man comics for some time.
