This October, two creators synonymous with Spider-Man return to the web-slinger's world to bring about the end of the Spider-Verse in an all-new ongoing series.
Writer Dan Slott and artist Mark Bagley's Spider-Man will directly follow the current Edge of Spider-Verse limited series which explores and introduces Spider-heroes from across the multiverse...and teases a deadly threat that’s coming for them all. Now, we see that threat emerge in this new Spider-Man #1 trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork.
In that, we witness Morlum and Shathra form a mysterious alliance that could spell Spider-Man's last stand. But he’s not alone! Spider-Woman, Ghost-Spider, Miles Morales, Silk, and more join this epic fight in a saga that looks set to serve as the perfect capstone to the character’s 60th-anniversary celebration!
"How does it feel to be writing Spider-Man again? Like I'm home. Like there's nowhere else I'd rather be. How does it feel to be working on it with Mark Bagley, one of the greatest Spidey icons of all-time?! Honored, excited, and unstoppable!" Slott says, hyping up the series. "Mark and I are two guys who live to tell Spider-Man stories. Cut us and we bleed Spider-Man."
"And now Marvel has entrusted the two of us to bring back their monthly - adjectiveless - Spider-Man title! We are not going to let you down. We're going to take big swings in each and every issue," he continues. "And the first thing we're doing, right out of the gate, is the Spider-Verse comic to end all Spider-Verse comics!"
Bagley adds, "Dan and I have been wanting to work together for years, and having the opportunity to be the artist that is there to wrap up his Spider-Verse storyline is really exciting. Further, I'm thrilled to see where this book takes us from there."
It looks like poor Peter will take a real beating at Morlun's hands, and the villain teaming up with Shathra definitely isn't good news for Spidey. Needless to say, we're intrigued to check this one out when the first issue swings into stores on October 5.
