Spider-Versity, the Latest Event, is Announced
New York, NY— January 15, 2026 — All your favorite webheads will band together in a brand-new way this April in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: SPIDER-VERSITY! Announced at IGN, the five-issue limited series will be written by Jordan Morris (Predator: Bloodshed) and Joe Kelly (Amazing Spider-Man) and drawn by artist Pere Perez (Amazing Spider-Man: Torn).
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!
On how the Spider-heroes react to their new mentor, Morris told IGN, “The younger Spiders all have their own take. Some of them are stoked, some are more wary (specifically the ones Norman has killed before). To a certain extent, they’re all students of Pete. Even the ones who haven’t trained with him specifically see him as a role-model. Since Pete has forgiven Norman, the other Spiders are willing to give him a chance. Even though certain members of the team are more prickly, they all share the try-and-see-the-best-in-people ethos that is so important to Pete.”
“Spider-Versity spins directly out of the events of Amazing Spider-Man,” Kelly added. “Norman has a definitive threat in mind that he’s trying to protect the young Spiders against. One he knows intimately. But even for a master planner like Norman, things may perhaps go awry, and the kids will face some unexpected threats. Nothing like learning on the job!”
