Spider-Man is the most famous "nerd" superhero, so it's extra funny that Peter Parker has also had so many girlfriends. But there's one woman who always comes back: Mary Jane Watson. Mj's been part of Spider-Man's world since her first on-panel appearance in "The Amazing Spider-Man" #42, by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr. It took a while for her and Peter to truly get together, but Mj's the girl Peter Parker eventually married, no matter what Marvel Comics editorial has been saying since the controversial arc "One More Day."
Mary Jane is so famous as the Spider-Man love interest that a lot of adaptations skip right to her, like the 1994 "Spider-Man" cartoon produced by John Semper, Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley's "Ultimate Spider-Man" comic reboot, and the Sam Raimi "Spider-Man" films, for instance. But to use...

My Adventures with Superman is one of the most brilliant superhero animated series. Created by Brendan Clougher, Jake Wyatt, and Josie Campbell, the Adult Swim series tells the story of Superman aka Clark Kent as he starts his new job at The Daily Planet, with his roommate Jimmy Olson, and his senior intern at The Daily Planet who is none other than Lois Lane. They quickly become a team and try to bring in big stories so that they can become real reporters while Clark also tries to become the hero he is meant to be. My Adventures with Superman has great action but the brilliant thing about the series is that it isn’t an action series about Superman, it’s a series about a superhero and his relationships as he figures out who he really is. So, if you love the heart, optimism, great story, and fantastic animation...

X-Men '97's success on Disney+ shows the power of nostalgia for popular '90s shows like X-Men: The Animated Series. Despite the desire for a revival, Spider-Man: The Animated Series faces rights issues that complicate its return compared to X-Men. Marvel/Disney's ownership of X-Men IP makes reviving the series easier, while Spider-Man rights issues hinder similar revival plans.
X-Men '97 has proven to be a viable revival of the popular '90s kids staple, X-Men: The Animated Series. For many kids, the series was their first exposure to the X-Men in popular culture, and given the success of the new show, those kids who are now adults are playing a significant role in its recent success on Disney+.
As X-Men '97 proves that nostalgia is king once again, it's hard not to desire the revival of another Marvel kids show: Spider-Man: The Animated Series. In addition to X-Men,...

"Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse" is set to take animation to a whole new level this summer, pushing the boundaries of not just Spider-Man stories but of storytelling itself. That's great for fans of the character because when I was a kid, aside from the comics, all we had was one excellent Fox Kids cartoon. In 1994, there were no Tim Burton-directed blockbusters to help bolster the popularity of Spider-Man. In fact, there were no major movies at all that featured the web-slinger. "Spider-Man: The Animated Series," which ran from 1994–1998, was the definitive version of the character for many a '90s kid.
Headed by showrunner John Semper, the 65 episodes managed to respect classic Spidey stories while updating things for the '90s. Like the "X-Men" animated series, it had a killer theme song, and voice artist Chris Barnes' Peter Parker/Spider-Man was perfectly pitched. On top of that, the TV...

Fans of the 1990s’ Spider-Man: The Animated Series, rejoice - the stellar voice cast are teaming up for new show War Of The Rocketmen…
For children of the 1990s, and presumably those who parented children in the 1990s, and anyone who just loves a good superhero animation, Spider-Man: The Animated Series is swathed in good will and nostalgia.
The show, which serialised Spidey’s legacy in 30-minute chunks, was undeniably excellent. We recall a particularly brilliant arc about Morbius The Vampire.
The cast reunited for a panel at Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo over the weekend to discuss the show’s twentieth anniversary, and announce their new project.
"You are the current avatar of this Marvel deity. This is our Iliad. This is our Odyssey," recalled Spidey-voicing actor Christopher Daniel Barnes, speaking of the responsibility of the role. "It touches something universal in us. When you get the chance to...
