The Superior Spider-man #32
Dan Slott & Christos Gage (w) Giuseppe Camuncoli (a)
Marvel Comics

Liz says: He’s bold, he’s brazen, he’s bigheaded, and… he’s back! Here to kick off the Spider-verse event is my favourite Spider of recent times, the one and only Superior Spider-man. How could I resist? For all the time travel that’s been going on lately in Dan Slott’s Spider-man and the Marvel universe in general, it’s more than appropriate that Slott’s story should break down dimensional walls to bring all possible versions of Spider-man together for one epic escapade. Here’s how it happens: A temporal implosion transported the Superior Spider-man to the year 2099, and in an attempt to return home he discovers a number of parallel timelines whose versions of Spider-man are being executed by a mysterious assailant. The obvious course of action? Bring together every remaining version of Spider-man to create a Spider army and bring down the killer! It’s a great premise for what looks likely to be an awesome event, and one last ride with the Superior Spider-man. Bring it on!
