So they're making a toon about Bendis' awesome writing on USM? Sweet.


but before that, WTF is Spectacular Spider-Man at. Why was that cancelled in the first damn place.

Why indeed, show was great even though it was different story wise. Damn Disney.

Re: Ultimate Spider-Man

I'm kinda intrigued by this mainly because the show runners are actual comics people so it should aim right at the comics reading population or if you're not reading the comics it will most likely be a gateway drug so to speak.

I will try to see this some way.

A motorcycle is a helluva lot better than the Spidey Buggy

That just reminded me that I had that toy when I was younger.

Re: Ultimate Spider-Man

Soooooo not gonna pass judgement yet on this, but not exactly thrilled with the Family Guy-esque random side gag crap here. Maybe it'll grow on me over time since this is just the first ep. But thus far the early word on this confirms to me that cancelling Spectacular for this was nonsense.

The worst part is the USM comic is serious as hell I mean
COMIC SPOILER

Spoiler

the green goblin killed Petey recently and there's a new Spider-man

So going in an over the top direction doesn't make sense, especially considering how awesome Spectacular was.

Re: Ultimate Spider-Man

Just hope the cartoon doesnt go all stale like the others have

Seems to drag on with kinda getting lost with no story line then it never finishes

Re: Ultimate Spider-Man

That's what's most annoying about them getting rid of Spectacular for this damn show. They had they're **** together with that series, they had they're stories planned out and knew what they wanted to do from start to finish. Then Disney friggin bought Marvel (puke) and the show was screwed from there.
