The popular 1990s cartoon “Spider-Man: The Animated Series” infamously ended on a huge cliffhanger. Now, thirty years after the show’s conclusion, Marvel Comics is finally resolving that story with the limited series “Spider-Man ’94”.
First look at #SpiderMan ‘94.
A 4-issue comic series that will follow up from the cliffhanger of the ‘90s Spider-Man animated series.

“Spider-Man: The Animated Series” ends with Mary Jane Watson stranded in another reality and Spider-Man searching for her. This will presumably be the first thing “Spider-Man ’94” needs to address.
According to IGN, the official description of the series is as follows: “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!”
“Legendary Spider-Scribe J.M. DeMATTEIS and rising star artist JIM TOWE bring you the return you’ve all been waiting thirty years for! And you’re never going to expect the twists and turns ahead for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!”
“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!”
“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,” DeMatteis told IGN.
“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.”
While old-school fans of “Spider-Man: The Animated Series” were hoping for an animated series revival along the lines of Disney+’s hit series “X-Men ’97”, they’ll have to settle for the next best thing.
Particularly since Disney+ has moved forward with more seasons of “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” a “Spider-Man ’94” animated series is unlikely to materialize.
“Spider-Man ’94” #1 will be available on September 3, 2025.
