Spider-Verse vs Venomverse #1: A Huge Multiverse Battle Kicks Off

Marvel Comics is dropping Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse #1 on May 14, 2025, and it’s shaping up to be a wild ride. This five-issue series, written by Kyle Higgins and Mat Groom with art by Luciano Vecchio, throws Spider-Man and his web-slinging crew into an all-out brawl against Venom and his symbiote squad. It’s a multiverse showdown where the Spider-Verse and Venomverse are fighting for survival, and only one side can come out on top.

The story centers on the Web-Heart, the core of the Spider-Verse’s Great Web of Life and Destiny, and the Hive-Mind, its symbiote equivalent. Both pick their champions to duke it out. Spider-Man (Peter Parker) leads the Spider-Verse team, joined by cool characters like Takuya Yamashiro, the Japanese Spider-Man, who rocks a slick new suit in issue #3. On the Venomverse side, an alternate Eddie Brock as Venom heads the charge, backed by newbies like Venomouse, Katie Power, and a mysterious symbiote called Yaleo. The preview shows epic clashes as Peter’s team fights to save the Web-Heart, while Eddie’s crew battles to protect the Hive-Mind.

This series follows two one-shot comics, Web of Spider-Verse: New Blood and Web of Venomverse: Fresh Brains, which set the stage and introduce fresh characters like Spider-Prowler and Spider-Hulk. Mary Jane Watson, now the All-New Venom, adds drama, pitting her against Peter in this messy war. Expect big action, heartfelt moments, and some deep dives into Peter and Eddie’s journeys.

Luciano Vecchio’s art pops with energy, blending classic characters with bold new ones. Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse #1 is gearing up to be a major Marvel event that could shake up both universes. You can grab it at your local comic shop or check it out digitally on Marvel Unlimited. Don’t miss this multiverse madness!
