While the Spider-Verse event is winding down in the mainline continuity from Marvel Comics, it looks like there’s still more fun ahead as there will be a Battleworld set for the property and it’ll be getting its own Secret Wars series. Set to debut in May 2015, Spider-Verse will come from writer Mike Costa (Scarlet Spiders, G.I. Joe) and artist Andre Lima Araujo (Avengers A.I.).
“The SPIDER-VERSE event in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN brought you the first team of Spider-Men,” says Senior Editor Nick Lowe, “but not the last! Here we build and expand upon the Spider-Verse story in insane new ways!”

Stranded on Battleworld a small band of universe-hopping heroes – Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Man: India, Spider-Girl, Spider-UK and Spider-Ham – will find themselves face to face with the horrors of Battleworld.
