So, it’s not quite a full-blown X-Men ’97 revival on Disney+, but Marvel is set to return to the world of Spider-Man: The Animated Series with Spider-Man ’94, a comic book continuation of the beloved 90s show.
Written by legendary Spidey scribe J.M. DeMatteis with art from Jim Towe (X-Force), the five-issue limited series will pick up directly from the cliffhanger ending of the show as Spider-Man entered the multiverse in an effort to save Mary Jane Watson.
“The 1990s Spider-Man animated series has become a beloved part of Spidey lore—it was the introduction to Peter Parker and his universe for an entire generation—and I’m delighted to be diving back into that universe,” said DeMatteis. “We’re treating this as the next season of the show, which means introducing new villains, new challenges, new adventures for Peter—while doing our best to remain true to the creative spirit that John Semper and company established with the original show.”
After searching to the ends of the Multiverse, PETER PARKER – the AMAZING, the SPECTACULAR, the RADIOACTIVE Web-Head himself – A.K.A. SPIDER-MAN, swings back into the streets of New York City with his beloved Mary Jane Watson in tow! But what’s this? One of these villains is not like the others: Witness this universe’s debut of not one, but TWO of Spider-Man’s greatest villains from the comics—MORLUN and KAINE! Break out your action figures, and post up in front of the TV as we bring you back to the greatest era of animated super hero television in history! You’re never going to expect the twists and turns ahead for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!
Spider-Man ’94 #1 will go on sale on September 3rd 2025.
