Edge of Spider-Verse #4 is coming up on September 21, speeding toward what Marvel Comics has billed as the "end of the Spider-Verse as we know it," and for the fourth installment of the latest Spider-Verse story, Peter Porker the Sensational Spider-Ham comes back into the spotlight with a tale from writer Jordan Blum and artist Michael Shelfer.
But that's just one of the tales to be told in the anthology issue, which also includes what just might be the first-ever Spider-Man musical told exclusively in comics (yeah, we remember Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark too… yikes).
That story, which features a new Spider-hero called Spinstress, is written by David Hein, writer of the Broadway musical Come From Away, alongside artist Luciano Vecchio, with a design from Walt Disney Studios character designer Helen Chen. And true to form, Spinstress is described as a "Spider-Princess who sings, talks to spiders and kicks villainous butt throughout her kingdom".

Finally, Marvel has revealed that Spider-Verse #4 will feature a story starring Sun-Spider, the winner of the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse's create-a-spider fan contest from a few years ago, written by Tee Franklin (who makes her Marvel Comics debut with the story) with art from Jethro Morales.
