Reader's Guide

Spider-Geddon follows the aftermath of the Spider-Verse event, where The Spot, a minor villain mutated by dimension-hopping energy, evolves into a cosmic threat capable of opening portals to every universe. He is manipulated by the surviving Inheritors, who seek to reclaim their dominion over spider-totems. Miles Morales and his allies must navigate these unstable dimensions to stop Spot from consuming reality itself. The creative team includes writer Christos Gage and artist Ryan Ottley, with significant contributions from various Spider-Verse artists.

The stakes are existential: if the Inheritors succeed, they will extinguish every spider-powered life across the multiverse, resetting the cycle of predation forever. For Peter Parker and Miles Morales, this is a test of their leadership and ability to unite fractured realities. The event concludes with Spot's defeat but leaves lasting consequences, including the establishment of a new status quo for the Spider-Verse where dimensional travel remains dangerous.

It solidifies Miles Morales as a central pillar of the multiverse and introduces new dynamics among the spider-families.
