The Return of Spider-Man: The Animated Series
Spider-Man: TAS left fans hanging with Peter and Madame Web heading into the multiverse, searching for the real Mary Jane Watson. The show ended before we saw their reunion. Even the recent X-Men ‘97 finale teased MJ and Peter together but didn’t explain how it all came together.
Spider-Man ‘94: The Comic Sequel We’ve Waited For
Now, Marvel Comics is stepping in to fill the gap. Spider-Man ‘94 is a four-issue limited series that picks up right where the cartoon left off. Written by the legendary J.M. DeMatteis, who actually worked on the original series, and illustrated by Jim Towe, this comic promises to bring closure to that notorious cliffhanger. The covers will be handled by Ron Lim, Nick Bradshaw, and John Tyler Christopher.
In this new story, Peter Parker and Mary Jane are back in New York City, and fans can expect not just nostalgia but also fresh faces. The comic will introduce “not one, but two” classic Spider-Man villains who never appeared in the original animated show—so there’s something new for even the most dedicated fans!
Why Was the Animated Series So Special?
Debuting in 1994 on the now-legendary Fox Kids Network, Spider-Man: The Animated Series was a game changer. It brought complex storylines and even introduced the Spider-Verse concept years before it hit the big screen. In the final season, Madame Web recruited Spidey to help save the multiverse from a Carnage-bonded Spider-Man bent on destruction. Along the way, Spidey teamed up with alternate versions of himself and, after saving the multiverse, was granted a visit to our reality—culminating in a heartwarming meeting with his creator, Stan Lee.
The Story Continues
Now, with Spider-Man ‘94, fans will finally see what happened after that epic multiverse adventure. The comic is set for release on September 3rd, so mark your calendars! It’s a must-read for anyone who’s ever shouted at their TV, “What about Mary Jane?!”
