It’s multiverse versus multiverse this April at Marvel, as Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse will finally arrive.
From writers Mat Groom and Kyle Higgins, and artist Luciano Vecchio, the five-issue series will find the armies of Spider-Mans and armies of Venoms coming to blows for the fate of their respective ‘verses.
“When Dan Slott and Olivier Copiel launched the SPIDER-VERSE in 2014, it transformed the Spider-Man mythos and completely took over the world,” Groom said via press release. “Since then, creators like Donny Cates, Al Ewing and Ram V have transformed the Venom mythos in a way that is arguably just as vital and transformative. Crashing these worlds together is a genuine honor and a privilege— and it gives us an opportunity to push both sides to the breaking point, so we can all discover whether the Spider and Symbiote communities hold strong against the oncoming storm… or if they crack under the pressure!”
Before the title itself hits, there will be two previously announced one-shots: Web of Spider-Verse: New Blood; and Web of Venomverse: Fresh Brains. Both will introduce major players in the crossover, and Groom is excited for fans to meet the new characters.
“I think one of the genius decisions of this event was having Luciano do all of the character designs for our two lead-in titles,” Groom continued. “Luciano’s superpower is building complex tapestries of intertwined characters and worlds…and I love that readers will get an early taste of that in NEW BLOOD and FRESH BRAINS!”
Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse #1 will hit stores on May 14 with a cover by Vecchio. Check it out below, as well as the official synopsis for the issue.
