Web of Spider-Verse #1: New, ‘Incredible’ Spider Characters

Web of Spider-Verse New Blood #1:

So, Marvel has come up with one of the cooler ideas I’ve seen in comics in quite some time. For the new Web of Spider-Verse, different creative teams are working on various Spidey characters and their stories.

For example, one of Nerd Initiative’s favorites Mat Groom is writing for Web-Heart and Spider-Prowler, while the incomparable Greg Pak is writing for Spider-Hulk and so on.

It’s a really fun concept and you’ll see how each writer, artist and more puts their own stamp on these new characters.

Creative Team:

Writers: Mat Groom, Greg Pak, Jordan Morris

Artists: Luciano Vecchio, Alan Robinson, Sumit Kumar, Federico Vicentini

Color Artist: Rachelle Rosenberg, Yen Nitro, Matt Milla, Dee Cunniffe

Letters: VC’S Joe Caramagna

PUBLISHER: Marvel Comics

The Art:

As Web-Heart is working to find his final piece for his Spider-Team, we meet Spider-Hulk, your normal Spectacular Spider-Man, who was zapped and transformed into this new Hulk-like version of himself.

With Hulk, Robinson gives you one of the cooler visuals you’ll ever see as a Spider-Man fan, seeing peter Hulk out against the Sinister Six. I mean, it can’t get better.

With Count Parker, there’s a Todd McFarlane feel to things as MJ looks for this possibly nefarious and unique Spider-Vampire?! Another interesting story and so much fun to see how it all ties back to the main plot.

I don’t want to spoil anymore, but Spider-Prowler has yet another unique artistic style that draws from Vincentini and his prowess. It fits right alongside the Miles Morales universe.

The Writing:

I mean if you came to me about a comic with writers like Groom and Pak, I’d say YES with all caps before I knew what it was. But to add that it’s Spidey and new takes on Spidey, I mean, just wow!

The backstories and writing are what make this so damn unique.

You’re going to love Spider-Hulk and Prowler, the depth to them is something we’re just tapping into and it feels like when we first met Spider-Gwen. No one could have imagined what that character would mean to the world at the time, but here we are years later with a superhero millions love.

I think the same will one day be said about some of these new Spideys.

Overall Grade: 9.5/10

It’s THAT good and this creative team is not playing around one bit! I CANNOT wait for the rest of this cross-over to see where it all goes and who else we get to meet along the way!
