Yesterday some BIG news was dropped concerning the next Spider-Man event. Writer Dan Slott and editor Nick Lowe spoke on a Marvel live blog about what is being called Spider-Verse. I’m not going to give you any quotes or anything like here. I’m here to give you the meat and potatoes. Ya know, the tidbits that really get you salivating for more. This November Slott, joined by artist Oliver Coipel, will bring every single Spider-Man, EVER, into one big story line. When i say every single one, I mean just that. 616, What Ifs, 2099, Noir, alternate realities/universes, and concepts we haven’t even seen yet will be brought into the mix. On a funny note, Slott said the only “no” he got was for a talking Spider-Car called “Peter Parked-Car”. The biggest question concerns the Superior Spider-Man which is set to conclude in April as Peter Parker gets his body back and begins a new volume of Amazing Spider-Man.

The seeds of this story was planted back in Superior Spider-Man #20 when we get a random panel (left) where Madame Webb briefly awakens to say “the great web is coming undone” and “all the spiders will die”. At the time I assumed that this was a set up for something down the road, maybe even next. But it looks as if everything that happens between now and then after Goblin Nation) will build to Spider-Verse.

The size and scope of this will be fairly huge. As stated earlier, every Spider-Man will be a part of this. To help out, the good folks over at MTV did a great job labeling most of the Spider-Men (left) on this awesome piece of art from Gabriele Dell’Otto. Let us know in the comments if you know any that are unlabeled!!

This epic Spider-Event will kick off this November with Amazing Spider-Man #6. I know that seems longer than we’d like. Fear not Comic Nation, we will literally be given a prelude/lead in story in print May 3rd, as part of Free Comic Book Day.

So now we know that we’ve got all these Spider-Men, now what? Well it appears as if the main villain for this will be Morlun(right), who was introduced in 2001. This guy basically came to feed on Parker to absorb his “totem” spider powers. He has been one of Parkers toughest foes who even came very close to killing Parker, but was foiled at the zero hour. In this particular story it would seem as if Morlun is going from universe to universe, reality to reality, through time and the multi-verses to take and absorb the power of every Spider-Man into one vessel, himself. This will likely bring many wall crawlers together and team-up against this threat. It may, however, cause friction and strife between some as well. So what do you think Comic Nation? Is your spider-sense tingling at the possibilities we will see down the road? Are you excited for the return of Peter Parker? Do you think Spider-Ock will be left out? Let us know in the comments below and keep checking back as I will be covering this as details unfold in the coming months.
