About Spidersona
Spidersona is a word that originated from the combination of two words spider and persona. It refers to a fan art in which artists get creative to depict themselves or other individuals as Spider-man.
This sub-genre gained popularity following the release of the 2018 animated film SpiderMan- Into the Spider-Verse. The trend began on twitter back in 2010 before the release of the animated spiderman movies.
Marvel Tweet about introducing Spidersona in the Spider-Verse

Marvel since then tried finding ways to show off these spectacular designs. This week, it’s going to happen for real!
In the first issue of Spider-Verse, comic readers will get to see the first Spidersonas rendered by some of Marvel’s greatest artists.
It is written by Jed McKay with the help of the artistic team of Arthur Adams, Juan Frigeri, Stuart Immonen, and Stacey Lee.
The “Spidersona” hashtag came out years back. Marvel was very impressed by everyone’s talent and creativity.
Some creative fans were contacted and were asked to create new Spidersona art, especially for the Spider-Verse issue.
Each issue of SPIDER-VERSE will showcase the best three of these original pieces of Spidersona art by artists from all around the world.
The tweet showcased the Spidersonas that are going to appear in the first issue of SPIDER-VERSE. The Spider-Verse will feature even more fan-created Spidersonas throughout its six-issue run.
Make sure you reserve your copies at your local comic shop. Fans are really excited after this announcement.
But, the fun part will extend, if the character is introduced in SpiderMan 3, Well, for now, there are no such updates but, if that happens, it would be exciting to see!
