(BOUNDING INTO COMICS) – In a move that should surprise absolutely no one, Marvel Comics is set to introduce yet another LGBT+ character to their dwindling readership, this time in the form of a multiversal Spider-Man variant.
As revealed in their recently published September solicits, this new web-slinger is set to debut in the fifth and final issue of Marvel’s upcoming Edge of The Spider-Verse miniseries, whose anthology of stories will serve as a prelude to long-time Spider-Man author Dan Slott’s previously announced plans to “end” the concept of the Spider-Multiverse and send it out “in a blaze of glory“.
Created by writer Steve Foxe (X-Men ’92: House of XCII) and artist Kristafer Anka (All-New X-Factor), Web-Weaver is described as “a not-so-mild mannered fashion designer at Van Dyne [who] gets spider-powers and shows us a very different kind of Spider-Slayer.”
