Featuring a cover by artist Greg Capullo (Batman), Web of Spider-Man #1 includes Spider-stories from current Amazing Spider-Man writer Zeb Wells, Spider-Men writer Greg Weisman, Spider-Woman (Vol. 8) writer Steve Foxe, and Edge of Spider-Verse (Vol. 4) writer Alex Segura, and artists Ed McGuinness and John Romita Jr. (Amazing Spider-Man), Greg Land (Symbiote Spider-Man), and Salvador Larroca (Uncanny X-Men).
Web of Spider-Man #1 “invites hardcore Spidey fans and new readers into the world ofSpider-Man comics with special stories that lay out all that’s to comefor Marvel’s web-swinging icons,” per the official synopsis. “Current and future Spidey scribes andartists team up to kickstart their most impactful storylines, spotlightthe villains and Spider-Heroes who everyone will be talking about, andintroduce the threads that will shake up the Spider-Verse in 2024.”
First, after Wells and McGuinness (Amazing Spider-Man #15-#18, #27-#30, #36-#38) pit Spider-Man against Doctor Octopus and the forces of Limbo, the Queen Goblin distilled the sins of Norman Osborn into a spear that struck Spider-Man… bringing out the wall-crawler’s darker side and putting him on the hunt for the cloned Kraven the Hunter. In Web of Spider-Man, Wells will spin a new tale of two Goblins with McGuinness and then set up his next arc with Romita after Marvel Gang War wraps up in Amazing Spider-Man #44 in February.
Weisman will lay the groundwork for the second arc of Spectacular Spider-Men, which launches in March and teams Peter Parker and Miles Morales against Miles Warren, a.k.a. the Jackal; Foxe and Land will revisit Spider-Clones Kane and Chasm, a.k.a. Ben Reilly, after the events of Dark Web; and spinning out of animated movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Segura and Larocca will set up the Spider-Society series.
