New Spider-Man '94 Comic Book Series Returns To Spider-Man: The Animated Series

Unlimited does feature musical score from 90s show but aside from that there's little connection, however, Dan Slot did say that he considers them to be the same universes, but canon is whatever people in charge say it is so...

And here I've been laboring under the belief that Unlimited (never watched it) was a sequel to the Animated Series, but apparently not.

It's considered a loose sequel to it. Tenuous at best but it was intended to pick up where the 90s show left off while not really following every plot from it. I was not impressed much with it when it first came out after a few episodes since I had been stuck on my highest setting with the 90s show.

you do know that they did the same for the 97 series BEFORE it was made into a cartoon right?

Reminds me of the joke that doing a custom Marvel Legends will result in Hasbro making an official release. I get a chuckle out of thinking that somebody in editorial is trying to jinx it on purpose, so making this comic will manifest a revival of the show into the reality.

My main issue here is that they didn't get John Semper, they could at least consult with him on basic ideas and direction, when he already had ideas about it, but J.M. DeMatteis is solid pick otherwise.

I feel like we are getting this because Disney isn't interested in another Spider-Man series until Your Friendly Neighborhood is finished, so until that there's no way they are green lighting new revival of old marvel tv show, maybe they are even waiting for X-Men 97 to end. So Marvel saw opportunity to cash in on people who want to see the "finale" in comics form until the actual finale will be shown in the future and make this comic book not a canon.

Semper did release a statement stating he wasn't happy about not being consulted (again) but at least trusted J.M. DeMatteis who did work on the animated series.

Still this will be as canon as X-Men'92. But I'm still going to pick it up
