Edge of Spider-Verse #2 continues the anthology limited series' new exploration of Spiderও-Man's presence in the Multiverse and introduces a new incarnation of a classic Spider-Man Multiverse 'Variant', Spider UK. And according to Marvel, the issue will also reveal the "threat behind the Spider-Verse's destruction."
Ahead of Edge of Spider-Verse #2's August 17 release, Marvel Cꦐomics has released a preview of interior pages from writer Ramzee and artist Ruairí Coleman's story of the new Spider UK, along with a look at artist Zoe Thorogood's design for the character as it appears on a variant cover for the issue. Spider UK also features on the issue's main cover by Josemaria Casanovas, seen abov🐷e.
Along with the Spider UK story🎃, Edge of Spider-Verse #2 features a main story by writer Da🐽n Slott and Paco Medina involving Shathra "the mysterious Spider-Wasp who hails from the Astral Plane," seen alongside the new Spider UK on the issue's primary cover, above.

Other stories included in the anthology involve a showdown between Ghost-Spider and Mysterio from write🦄r Mallory Rosenthal and artist Ig Guara, and the return of Chris Giarusso's beloved Mini-Marvels in a Spider-Verse-centric strip.
The current Edge of Spider-Verse limited series will giv♋e way later this year🐓 to a new adjectiveless Spider-Man ongoing title from Slott, making his return t♔o monthly Spider-Man comics, and artist൲ Mark Bagley, himself a long-time Spidey artist.
That story will focus on Peter Parker as he teams 🌳up wi✨th several of his Spider-allies to take on the mystical villain Morlun.
With the Edge of Spider-Verse villain about to be revealed, will ﷺthere be a Morlun connection to the new threat? Ti🌜me will tell.
Will these new characters measure up to the weirdest versions of Spider-Man from across the Marvel Comics Spider-Verse?
