Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse #1, released on May 14, 2025, is the first issue of a five-part limited event series. Written by Kyle Higgins and Mat Groom with art by Luciano Vecchio, the story depicts an all-out multiversal war between the guardians of the Web of Life and Destiny and the symbiote Hive-Mind.
Core Storyline: "Versus"
The plot centers on a reality-shattering conflict where only one "verse" can survive.
- The Conflict: The Spider-Verse and Venomverse collide in a series of three trials to determine which multiverse will persist. If the Venomverse wins, the Web of Life is destroyed; if the Spider-Verse wins, all symbiotes are eliminated.
- New Characters: The issue introduces Spider-Prowler (a heroic Miles Morales variant from Earth-2501) and a mysterious new symbiote named Yaleo.
- The Teams: Spider-Man’s roster includes Miles Morales, Silk, Spider-Ham, and Weapon VIII (a mix of Peter Parker, Wolverine, and Cyclops). They face off against a symbiote army led by Eddie Brock (Earth-2250) and Viking Venom.
