Beginning on August 3, fans will see the Spider-Verse expand like never before in Edge of Spider-Verse, a new limited series that will introduce brand-new Spider-Heroes and check in with iconic favourites such as Araña, Spider-Man Noir, and Ghost-Spider.

The series will contain a range of stories from longtime Spidey creators and rising stars, each with bold additions to the Spider-Man mythos. Amidst these thrilling debuts and fresh status quos, longtime Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott will be laying the groundwork for Spider-Man #1, a new ongoing series launching later this year.

Oh, and that title will begin with the end of the Spider-Verse as we know it!

Among those newly introduced characters will be Spider-UK, and Marvel Comics has now revealed new details on that hero and some of the stories we can look forward to in Edge of Spider-Verse #2 when it launches on August 17. The big news here is the return of Shathra, a villain who was first introduced in J. Michael Straczynski and John Romita Jr.'s classic Amazing Spider-Man run.

  • Writer Ramzee and artist Ruairí Coleman bring you the first adventure of the new Spider-UK!
  • Mastermind writer Dan Slott and artist Paco Medina present a pivotal chapter in the Spider-Verse epic with the return of Shathra, the mysterious Spider-Wasp who hails from the astral plane!
  • Writer Mallory Rosenthal and artist Ig Guara pit Ghost-Spider against Mysterio in a breathtaking battle!
  • Iconic artist Chris Giarrusso brings together some of your favourite Spider-Heroes in a brand-new Mini-Marvels strip!

Marvel Comics has released interior artwork by IG Guara, Ruairi Coleman, Paco Medina, and Chris Giarrusso. We also have Josemaria Casanovas cover and variants by Ernanda Souza and Zoe Thorogood.

Take a look below and stay tuned for more details on Edge of Spider-Verse!

That's cool design. Wonder if they're gonna try to popularize the character enough to give her a series of her own.

Calling Dan Slott a "mastermind" made me threw-up in my mouth little bit.

I really dig the design, quite a lot. But that name is HORRID! The women of the Spiderverse have a habit of getting crap names. Spider Gwen has grown on me, but she doesn't actually use that name. Spider-uk is Spider-Yuck. I know its Spider-U.K. but that sounds just as bad. Spider-Woman U.K. sounds better. Or something like The U.K. Spider.

I know about Madam Webb but i always thought a cool name for a Spider-Man spin off character would be Spider-Web, no affiliation to Madam. Just Spider-Web.

@Razorface1 - If it had been The Spirit of Vengance taking over a Spider character, i would have loved it, but i always found the explanation of death haunting Gwens life to be a rather thin reason to call herself Ghost-Spider.

@UGLYsonic - Death haunting seems to be a constant in Spider-peoples lives, indeed.

Not entirely sure why the British versions of characters almost always need some kind of Union Flag motif but at least it's subtle on this one.

But yeah why would she call herself "Spider-UK" when she's presumably the main Spider-Person from her universe? That'd be like 616 Peter Parker calling himself "Spider-USA" instead of "Spider-Man" - why not Spider-Girl, or Spider-Woman, or The Spider, or Spinerette, or Spider-Punk or something? Like I know those names are all in use already but isn't that kind of the nature of the multiverse?

@AC1 - Its just a lack of creativity. Your points are correct.

I wonder if her wig ever falls off in battle. Bold choice giving her Alopecia.

I think I know the perfect actress to play her in live action.

I do t have problem with these new spider people being created most of them we dont read see them again after edge of spider verse ends has marvel made any books for Japan Spider girl , Spider-Man noir , .

Marvel needs think about what they should do with new spider characters most of them may popular there not doing nothing with them

This cool but her name is horrid.

I'm a fan of arachna-hoe or arachna-bitch 💀

na I'm playing but they can do way better than spider-UK.

As a black person living in the UK it's nice to see they actually recognised that the UK is quite diverse and a hero from the UK doesn't necessarily have to be white / cockney

They really can't help themselves tokenizing every character even dumb multiverse versions.
