The Spider-Man-related multiverse will end in the aftermath of Edge of Spide-Verse. The comic exploring the stories of old and new Spider-Variants will send the reader straight into a new web-head story titled Spider-Man #1.

Per Marvel's own site, the comic will be written by legendary Spider-Man comic duo Dan Slott and Mark Bagley. With a new villain on the rise, the fate of Peter Parker and his fellow Spider-Variants will be changed forever.

Characters like Spider-Woman, Ghost-Spider, Miles Morales, Silk, and more will join him here.

The series will reportedly crossover with Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr's ongoing Spider-Man series, where Peter's mysterious association with Norman Osborn will be revealed. Morlun will also be an antagonist here, as he teams up with one of the scariest villains any Spider-Variant has ever seen.

Sharing his excitement about the comic, Dan Slott had this to say:

"How does it feel to be writing Spider-Man again? Like I'm home. Like there's nowhere else I'd rather be. How does it feel to be working on it with Mark Bagley, one of the greatest Spidey icons of all time?! Honored, excited, and unstoppable! Mark and I are two guys who live to tell Spider-Man stories. Cut us, and we bleed Spider-Man. And now Marvel has entrusted the two of us to bring back their monthly — adjectiveless — Spider-Man title!"

Slott would add:

"We are not going to let you down. We're going to take big swings in each and every issue! And the first thing we're doing, right out of the gate, is the Spider-Verse comic to end all Spider-Verse comics."

Dan Bagley shared his excitement by saying:

"Dan and I have been wanting to work together for years, and having the opportunity to be the artist that is there to wrap up his Spider-verse storyline is really exciting."

He added:

"Further, I'm thrilled to see where this book takes us from there."

The comic itself is set to release in stores this October. However, fans can prepare for the story by reading the ongoing The Amazing Spider-Man reboot by Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr.
