by Marvel
All your favorite webheads will band together in a brand-new way this April in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: SPIDER-VERSITY! Announced earlier today 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, 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 Sale 4/22On 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! »
