The Spider-Man you know is one of many. Meet ten Spider-Heroes in this new short story collection from acclaimed, best-selling authors writing across the Spider-Verse.

There is a Spider-Verse filled with Spider-Heroes, each on their own world: Spider-Punk, as adept at the guitar as he is at fighting crime. Spider-UK, who’s juggling Eid celebrations and a super-villain threat to her London neighborhood. And Web-Weaver, whose latest fashion event is threatened by a citywide storm of hallucinations.

Some, like Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy, have already crossed from one universe to the next. Others are still discovering they’re not alone. And now ten acclaimed best-selling authors, including New York Times bestselling authors Tui Sutherland, Frederick Joseph, and Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé, and many more, tell the stories of these amazing Spider-Heroes—just as a mystery villain rises to threaten the entire Spider-Verse.

Preeti Chhibber is an acclaimed author living in Atlanta, Georgia. She’s usually writing the stories she wants to read starring her favorite characters, like Spider-Man, Luke Skywalker, and Payal Mehta, among others. When she’s not writing, she spends her time reading a ridiculous amount of YA, jumping into brand-new fandoms, or food-traveling her way through different countries. She’s also the co-host of the Desi Geek Girls and the Women of Marvel podcasts, where she geeks out on the regular. You can learn more about Preeti and her work at PreetiChhibber.com.

“A string of successes when it comes to representing each protagonist’s community . . . the heroes all feel fleshed out to the point of demanding their own novels, or at least an encore crossover to reunite so many talented web-slingers (and their respective authors).” —Kirkus Reviews
