Devotees of the classic 1990s animated series Spider-Man: The Animated Series have eagerly sought a revival, particularly after X-Men '97 debuted in 2024. While a new animated continuation remains unannounced (as Marvel focuses on new seasons of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man), the beloved Spidey saga will extend through comics with Spider-Man '94.
Spider-Man '94 is a four-issue limited series that resumes the storyline from the show's infamous 1998 cliffhanger finale. The comic reunites Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson in New York while introducing two formidable villains making their first appearance in this animated universe. The series is penned by longtime Spider-Man writer (and contributor to the original show) J.M. DeMatteis, featuring art by Jim Towe (Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse) and variant covers by Nick Bradshaw, Ron Lim, and John Tyler Christopher.

Here's Marvel's official synopsis for Spider-Man '94:
After scouring the Multiverse, PETER PARKER – the AMAZING, the RADIOACTIVE Web-Slinger himself – returns to New York alongside his beloved Mary Jane WATSON! But one of these threats stands out: Witness the animated universe debut of not one, but TWO legendary Spider-Man adversaries!
Legendary writer J.M. DeMATTEIS and rising artist JIM TOWE deliver the continuation fans have anticipated for thirty years! Unexpected twists await your friendly neighborhood hero. Dust off your action figures and relive the golden age of animated superhero storytelling!
"The 1990s Spider-Man animated series holds a special place in Spidey history—it defined the character for a generation—and I'm thrilled to revisit this universe," DeMatteis told IGN. "We're approaching this as the show's next season, introducing fresh villains and challenges while honoring the creative vision John Semper and the original team established."
Spider-Man '94 #1 swings into stores on September 3, 2025.
Marvel has previously expanded animated universes through comics—years before X-Men '97, the publisher continued the classic X-Men cartoon with X-Men '92.
