Synopsis

After sensing that Silk was released from captivity by Spider-Man, Morlun stated that the Great Hunt, where he and his family would kill every Spider-Totem in the Multiverse, had begun.

As the Inheritors killed numerous Spider-themed heroes, the time-displaced Spider-Man (Otto Octavius) created a team to fight the enemies.

Meanwhile, other villains were embarked in similar quests. Earth-12041's Goblin tried to gather the DNA from different Spider-Men across multiple universes, and the Multiversal Sinister Six attempted to conquer numerous universes by taking the Isotope-8 from one in specific.

And while the Great Hunt takes place, the Spider-Army must find a way to defeat Morlun, Karn, and the rest of the Inheritors once and for all.

Notes

• The event had a 5-paged prelude in Free Comic Book Day Vol 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy.
• Four teams were formed during this event: Peter's Team, Otto's team, Spider-Men (Earth-TRN461) and the Web-Warriors (Earth-12041).
• Writer Dan Slott mentioned that only eight versions of Spider-Man couldn't be used in Spider-Verse, including those partially owned by Sony Pictures (the Spider-Man from Sam Raimi's film trilogy, the Spider-Man from Marc Webb's film duology, the Spider-Man from Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, and the Spider-Man from The Spectacular Spider-Man).
  • Although, Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man and Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man were referenced in Spider-Verse #2 , also a Spider-Man very similar to Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man has a cameo appearance in Spider-Woman #3.
• Marvel's website has a Spider-Verse Scorecard written by Ben Morse, which lists most of the participating characters and provides "digital spotlights" of prior adventures where applicable. Notably, the Scorecard lists Spider-Ham 25th Anniversary Special Vol 1 1 as being set in Earth-25 instead of Earth-8311, and misspells "Assassin" as "Assasin" when referring to the Spider-Man from Earth-8351.
• When asked on Twitter why the universe designations for Spider-Man Unlimited and Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends in Amazing Spider-Man #7 and for Spider-Gwen in Amazing Spider-Man #9 differed from those listed in the Marvel Universe Appendix, Slott responded that "[unless] mentioned in actual stories, designations in wiki entries and handbooks don't count." The validity of his statement is yet to be confirmed.
  • An official FAQ response in Amazing Spider-Man Vol 3 12 in regards to the universe designation of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends stated that "There are a lot of universes out there, so maybe there's a version of the Amazing Friends who are still alive. I wouldn't bank on it, though."
• Despite having gotten Spider powers from Peter Parker, the Venom symbiote and its progeny from Earth-616 are not counted as Totems. In spite of this declaration, versions of Venom and Carnage still appear alongside the various Spider-Men and Women that are depicted in the Web of Life and Destiny in Spider-Woman Vol 5 3. The editorial reason Agent Venom and other symbiote characters weren't included in Spider-Verse was because Marvel had to draw the line somewhere and chose to exclude the symbiotes from the event.
• Amazing Spider-Man #14 reveals the event takes place the day before Ultimate Peter Parker was revealed to be alive after being revived by Oz.
  • It is because the writers started working on Spider-Verse before Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man.

Trivia

• When asked if Spider-Boy would appear in Spider-Verse, Dan Slott sarcastically replied "Oh yeah, DC is going to let us do that, I'm sure. Let me call my DC contact right now.".
  • Although Spider-Boy appeared as a cameo/easter egg in the last page of Spider-Verse #2.
• Dan Slott said on Twitter that Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions inspired him to do this event.
• Spider-Verse was originally going to be a story set during Superior Spider-Man, and would've run in the place of the "Necessary Evil" and "Darkest Hour" story arcs.
