SPIDER-HAM! SPIDER-MOBILE! SUN-SPIDER! SPINSTRESS! You know the first two, but you may not remember the Amazing Sun-Spider who debuted in 2020's SPIDER-VERSE miniseries as a winner of our Spidersona contest! She gets her own story here! And Spinstress is a brand new Spider-Princess who sings, talks to a spider and kicks villainous butt! And the writers of the Broadway smash hit COME FROM AWAY are bringing her in for a landing!
Edge of Spider-Verse #4 features not one, not two, but four excellent stories introducing brand new Spider-Man-centric superheroes. Each story offers something a little different, like humor, clever homages, kookiness, and a strong message. Edge of Spider-Verse is as clever as it is inventive, proving we can never have enough Spider-Man characters. Read Full Review
Overall, I have enjoyed the entirety of this series, and book #4 was even more fun with how light-hearted, endearing, and genuinely inspirational each new Spider is. I await the next book with anticipation and can only say keep up the fantastic work, Edge of Spider-Verse team! Read Full Review
This was fun romp and well worth your time if you want something interesting and are not sick of the multiverse stuff yet. Read Full Review
With Spider-Ham, the Disney Princess Version of a Spider Person, the Spectacular Spider-Mobile, and more, Edge of Spider-Verse #4 is probably the weirdest issue yet of this series and, save for a few spots where the overall "plot" is forced into things, this is honestly the most delightful.

Spider-Ham: It's a not-quite-a-story vignette. Pete Spiderman is a treasure, though.
Spinstress: Glorious. The homage is line-and-letter perfect. I've always liked Luciano Vecchio, but I never realized his true calling was full-on Disney art.
Spider-Mobile: Cute, not original. Another not-quite-a-story. And it's already used up its full allotment of spotlight; any more will be annoying.
Sun-Spider: Good advocacy, terrible storytelling. That's regrettable.
