Back in June, Marvel Comics revealed a new Spider-Man known as Web-Weaver that will be appearing in Edge of Spider-Verse, and today we’ve got more details on the new character. Created by Steve Foxe and Kris Anka, the character will appear in Edge of Spider-Verse #5 out on October 5th with art by Kei Zama. Retailers have until September 5th to put in their orders.
According to Marvel, Web-Weaver is a not-so-mild mannered fashion designer at Van Dyne who gets spider-powers and shows us a very different kind of Spider-Slayer. Web-Weaver struts the runway in front of his fellow Spiders in a variant cover by Kris Anka, who also designed the character.
Get a look at the character in the preview art and covers below.
Also in Edge of Spider-Verse #5 we’ll get a closer look at Hunter-Spider, and Syllie Spider. Here’s a rundown of those characters:
- Imagine a world where Sergei Kravinoff got Spider-Powers. Meet Hunter-Spider, the most hardcore Spider yet, in a riveting tale by Dan Slott, J. M. DeMatteis, and Bob McLeod! Check out his fearsome design by superstar artist Mark Bagley in a special variant cover!
- Phil Lord, the filmmaker behind the Spider-Verse movies, teams up with artist David Lopez to create a new Spider that you have to see to believe… Fans will have to wait until the issue goes on sale to meet Syllie Spider, a one-of-a-kind new Marvel character who will also get the spotlight on a classified SPOILER VARIANT COVER by Lopez!
