* TheAloner: Due to being a case of RememberTheNewGuy, Spider-Boy has been RetGone from reality and none of the people he knew, including Peter, Aunt May, and the workers at F.E.A.S.T. recognize him. Part of the reason why he reveals his SecretIdentity to the girl he saved is because he wants ''someone'' to know who he is. [[SubvertedTrope Luckily]], the girl, Christina, is thankful for him saving her life and vouches for him so he can stay at F.E.A.S.T. with her family.
-->'''Spider-Boy:''' My name is [[spoiler:Bailey Briggs]]. And I'm all alone.



* ExperiencedProtagonist: The majority of the spider people who appear in these issues have been at it for some time. Notably, Spider-Boy claims to have been a superhero for three years, almost a third of his life.



* HomelessHero: Given that he owns a locker at F.E.A.S.T., it's implied that Spider-Boy was homeless and orphaned even before he was RetGone from reality. He's familiar with Aunt May because of her time volunteering at the shelter and doesn't know where he'll stay when the other workers don't recognize him. But after he saves another girl staying at the shelter, she vouches for him after he reveals his SecretIdentity to her, staying with her family in the shelter.

* KnightInSourArmor: Spider-Boy is frustrated, irritable, and scared after being RetGone from reality. He acts like a bratty know-it-all and complains about a "sidequest" his {{Psychometry}} powers leave him with while trying to find anyone who still remembers him. Despite this, he continues to help fight crime even while admitting that [[IJustWantToBeNormal he never wanted the powers or responsibility]] of being Spider-Boy.

* {{Psychometry}}: Spider-Boy's version of his Spider-Sense is capable of reading events from the past if he focuses hard enough. He hopes to use this to find someone who still remembers him, but instead discovers that a girl named Christina is being chased down by the Demons under Mr. Negative. He complains about this "sidequest" since his psychic link won't be severed until he addresses the issue.

''Edge of Spider-Verse (2023)'' in an AnthologyComic series from Creator/MarvelComics, and the third volume to bear the name.

As before, it follows the adventures of various alternate versions of Spider-Man, in the aftermath of ''ComicBook/EndOfTheSpiderVerse''.

The first issue was released on May 1st, 2023.

!!Tropes:
* AccidentalMisnaming: Petra just can't get Kraven's name and job right.
* AffectionateParody: As before, Spinstress's story is a send-up of Disney's animated movies.
* DamselInDistress: Merry James the bard gets abducted by Kraven the Huntsman, who figures it'll bring out Spinstress one way or another.
* {{Demonization}}: Petra is quite aghast to find a wanted poster for her and Webster, which doesn't look anything like either of them. Petra's depicted as a four-armed monstrosity, and Webster's an equally monstrous giant spider-thing. However, it does prove advantageous with Kraven, who doesn't realize quite a lot of artistic license has been taken.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Quite literal foreshadowing, at that. On returning home, Princess Petra fails to notice the large, ominous shadow overheard, which James does. It turns out to be her reality's version of Vulture.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: In the time she was gone helping save the multiverse, everyone in her reality's become afraid of Petra (what with the whole "kicked the Queen in the face" thing), and she's now wanted.
* LoopholeAbuse: [[spoiler:Norma]] demands Spinstress hand over the Goblin Orb as a deal. However, James is the one holding it, and he made no such agreement about anything, so he smashes it.
* OnceAnEpisode: Each story has an appearance from a version of Kraven, one way or another.
* ReadTheFinePrint: Evidently Princess Petra did not read the contract the Fairy Gob-Mother wrote up for her, as it says failure to honor her end of the bargain requires payment of Norma sending a huntsman to cut out her heart.
* RedHerring: Petra returns home to find Bishop Octopus has taken the crown with her absence and her mother indisposed, but despite the fact he looks pretty sinister, the Bish isn't the villain of the piece.
* TheEndOrIsIt: Spinstress's story ends with her thwarting the villains and getting her mom back, the two singing about how everything is good now. [[spoiler:Meanwhile, in a dark alley, James finds himself turning into a familiar black and white form...]]
* ThereWasADoor: Spinstress scolds Kraven for his dramatic entrance into the castle via stained glass window, pointing out there was a perfectly good door.
* TRexpy: Spider-Rex must deal with a new foe, in the form of Venomasaurus Rex.
* VillainExitStageLeft: [[spoiler:Norma]] flees when Petra and James destroy the Goblin Orb, vowing revenge.
