'Ultimate Spider-Man' Returns With New Episodes in January

Spider-Man will soon be thwipping into a second season.

It seems some people are digging the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series while others have expressed some disinterest. It looks like the show has been successful as a second season is heading our way.

Marvel has announced a one-hour primetime premiere on Monday, January 21, 2013, from 7:00-8:00 p.m. ET/PT.

During the premiere, we will be introduced to two of Spider-Man's villains - the Lizard (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker of Disney's Phineas and Ferb) and Electro. As Spider-Man and his team - Nova, White Tiger, Iron Fist and Power Man - fight the villains, it turns out a "sinister force" will be secretly assembling to plan their defeat.

While the second season will follow the young heroes, sounds like they'll be having some interaction with the stars of the upcoming animated series Avengers Assemble (Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk and Hawkeye). They'll also face the Sinister Six with Kraven the Hunter, Rhino, Lizard, Electro, Beetle and a secret sixth member. They'll also face the return of Loki (who turned Spider-Man into Spider-HAM last time).
