Expanding the Spider-Verse is a research project that grew out of the contributions and insights from interviews with over thirty Spidersona artists and Kathleen Wisneski, previously an Associate Editor at Marvel Comics for Spider-Verse (2019-2020), that has resulted in:
A Documentary
This fifty-five-minute, free-to-watch YouTube documentary, called "Expanding the Spider-Verse with Spidersonas," includes an overview of the Spidersona phenomeon and the creativity that is integrated into every single Spidersona design.
An Academic Book Chapter
This book chapter, titled "Expanding the Spider-Verse: Infinite Possibility and Fan Plausibility," is published in Paul Booth's edited collection Entering the Multiverse.
Both resulting projects from this research were created as part of Lore FitzWhittemore’s Media and Public Engagement Master’s Thesis. You can contact the author at twhittemore( at )wisc.edu.
