Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
It's how you wear the mask that matters.
After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters the Spider Society, a team of Spider-People charged with protecting the Multiverse's very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must set out on his own to save those he loves most.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse keeps every mind human — it fights its subject at zero distance. The story fights on E8/E13 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing identity, responsibility, multiverse, diversity, fate.
