Spider-Man: The New Animated Series
Spider-Man: The New Animated Series is an American animated series based on the Marvel comic book superhero character Spider-Man. The series premiered on July 11, 2003, and lasted for one season, consisting of a total of 13 episodes. It serves as a continuation of sorts for the Spider-Man movie that Sam Raimi directed back in 2002. The program was produced with computer-generated graphics that was rendered in cel shading. It was shown on MTV and YTV. In the eight months that followed the conclusion of the show's run, episodes were shown in reruns on ABC Family as part of the Jetix television programming block. The animated comic book adaptations that are commonly seen on television for cartoons based on comic books were not at all like the version of the character that was featured in this series. Several of the characters in the series are strongly hinted to have had sexual encounters, in contrast to the more common tactic of just vanishing without a trace. In addition, characters die in a manner that is unmistakably fatal.
