Marvel Comics is taking another trip across the Spider-Verse, as a brand-new title will feature multiple new characters, including spider-personas, and plenty of action-packed stories that should leave readers in awe. Edge of Spider-Verse #1 will bring dinosaurs, a deadly new spider-killer, and more to the mix.
Karla Pachecho, Pere Perez, and Antonio Fabela are working together for a new “Enter: Kravertooth the Hunter,” which expands the adventures of the T-Rex web-slinger, Pter Ptarker, aka Spider-Rex. The story will introduce a lion version of popular Spider-Man villain Kraven the Hunter, who will battle the Spider-verse’s most notable dinosaur. The story will also feature the debut of the Venomsaurus. The adventure ends with a bang!
Meanwhile, Zander Canon and Guillermo Sanna are introducing a new killer Spider-Verse character in “Curse of the Spider-Killer.” The issue is a crime noir story featuring one of the scariest spider-personas yet, as Spider-Killer will try to live us to his sinister name. For those with squeamish stomachs regarding blood and violence, the story should keep your pulse pounding as you read it.
