What would it mean to a group of heroes if they could improve their skills by training with a notorious villain? How could they put the past aside and trust him? That’s the premise in Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity, a five-issue limited series that will see Norman Osborn training multiple Spider-heroes to take on the looming threat of the Green Goblin – Osborn, himself.

The book is written by Jordan Morris (Predator: Bloodshed) and Joe Kelly (Amazing Spider-Man) with art by Pere Perez (Amazing Spider-Man: Torn). It spins out of Joe Kelly’s run in Amazing Spider-Man, following Norman’s time as Spider-Man and his upcoming turn back to the dark side of being Green Goblin. The book leads into the milestone Amazing Spider-Man #1000.

“Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Silk, Araña, Spider-Boy and Spider-Girl have one thing in common – THEY AREN’T READY. According to former Resolute Spider-Man Norman Osborn. So he and Spider-Woman are going to train them to meet the next threat – the only way the Green Goblin knows how. Because the next threat might well BE the Green Goblin!” the synopsis states.

“The younger Spiders all have their own take,” Morris told IGN. “Some of them are stoked, some are more wary (specifically the ones Norman has killed before). To a certain extent, they’re all students of Pete. Even the ones who haven’t trained with him specifically see him as a role-model. Since Pete has forgiven Norman, the other Spiders are willing to give him a chance. Even though certain members of the team are more prickly, they all share the try-and-see-the-best-in-people ethos that is so important to Pete.”

Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity begins in April 2026.
