The Writer Of Your Favorite Spider-Man Cartoon Has A New Marvel Comic Coming [Exclusive Preview]

“Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” has now debuted on Disney+ and put an animated Spider-Man again on screens in every single place. I hope that the present is entertaining younger Spidey followers the identical means that the 1994 “Spider-Man” animated sequence and “Spectacular Spider-Man” did for my youthful self. Developed by “Gargoyles” creator Greg Weisman, “Spectacular Spider-Man” ran for 2 seasons (26 episodes) from 2008 to 2009. Sadly, the truly spectacular cartoon ended prematurely as a result of Sony forfeiting animation rights to Spider-Man again to Marvel.

“Spectacular Spider-Man” stays a fan-favorite, for it is the proper distillation of the character. It basically up to date the unique Lee/Ditko comics for the current day, with the added foresight of with the ability to weave collectively the canonical Spider-Man tales and supporting characters from the very starting, moderately than by way of a long time of trial and error, and numerous totally different writers and artists. For instance, Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn debuted in “Wonderful Spider-Man” #31, however they grew to become such necessary characters that “Spectacular” made them Peter’s mates to start out with.

Watching “Your Pleasant Neighborhood Spider-Man” is when it lastly sunk in for me that any new Spider-Man goes to fall brief for me as a result of it is no more “Spectacular.” Weisman’s later DC animated sequence “Young Justice” returned from cancellation, however the plug of “Spectacular Spider-Man” stays pulled 16 years later.

In a small comfort prize, although, Weisman is now writing an ongoing Spider-Man comedian at Marvel, “Spectacular Spider-Males” (drawn primarily by Humberto Ramos). That title is certainly referencing the cartoon, nevertheless it’s “Spider-Males” plural as a result of the comedian stars each Peter Parker and Miles Morales. If there’s one city sufficiently big for 2 Spider-Males, it is New York.

“Spectacular Spider-Males” debuted in March 2024 — and Marvel has shared an unique preview of “Spectacular Spider-Males” #12 with /Movie.

The difficulty continues the sequence’ second arc, “Unusual Love” (drawn by Emilio Laiso). The story to this point has featured Peter and Miles working afoul of the electrifying villains Max Dillon and Francine Frye, whereas mentoring new superhero Juliet Marcos/Elementary (who has powers over the 4 classical components). The difficulty synopsis reads:

“LEVEL UP! The one factor worse for the SPIDER-MEN than one ELECTRO — is TWO! And this electrifying tag crew has LEVELED UP! The Electros aren’t the one SINISTER and SHOCKING SURPRISE in retailer for Pete and Miles… Sssomone ELSE has a bone to select with the Ssspectacular Ssspider-Males…”

Primarily based on the hissing and solicitations for upcoming issues, that another person is the Lizard. See David Baldeon’s cowl for “Spectacular Spider-Males” #12, with the 2 Electros standing triumphant, under:
