Reviews
"Seriously, folks -- The Spectacular Spider-Man animated television series on the "Kids WB" network is one of the best superhero adaptations I’ve ever seen (and trust me, I've watched more than anyone will probably consider reasonable). It’s fun, it’s smart, it's mature, it’s witty and every episode leaves me wanting more."—ComicMixComic Mix: Spectacular Review (July 7, 2008)
"While the animation is drawn simply, it's serviceable, and the lack of detail allows the characters to move quickly through the scenes. This Spider-Man moves very much like the Spider-Man in the live-action films, giving the action a genuine feel."—SciFi.comSciFi.com: Spider-Man Review (March 7, 2008)
