In the wake of the news about this new Spider-Man animated series. A new animated Spider-Man series is coming next year – the announcement of which seems to signal the unceremonious end for The Spectacular Spider-Man. The new series, Ultimate Spider-Man, was announced as debuting 2012 on Disney XD. WorldScreen.com quotes Eric Rollman, President of Marvel animation: "Ultimate Spider-Man will be a unique journey exploring our favorite web-slinger as he teams up with other fan favorite Marvel Super Heroes in never before seen stories with a new life filled with great challenges, new friends, intense action and character growth."
As the title suggests, Ultimate Spider-Man will be influenced by Brian Michael Bendis' comic book of the same name, focusing on a teenage Peter Parker, still in high school. Of course The Spectacular Spider-Man was already covering this same ground, and involved many elements from Ultimate, incorporating characters and scenarios first introduced in the Bendis books.
It's worth noting that due to Sony previously holding the rights to Spider-Man alone, no other Marvel heroes could appear on Spectacular - and Rollman's quotes make it clear this won't be the case on Ultimate Spider-Man, where guest stars will play a role.

The test footage at C2E2 Showed J. Jonah Jameson prattling on about masked vigilantes being a menace while Nick Fury scolded Spider-Man as he nabs a crook. In terms of design, the producers made sure that the animation team knew about the style and history of Spider-Man art. They wanted to make sure that the animation team took all of those ideas and put them into the animation of the series. An animation test shown at Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo in 2011 did match the comics quite closely. The first series Jeph Loeb oversaw in his job as Executive Vice President, Head of Television. At the 2010 Comic-Con in San Diego he hired Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steve Seagle, best known as the creators of the Ben 10 and Generator Rex series, are set to become the supervising producers of the series. [1] Brian Michael Bendis, who created the Ultimate Comic series, is involved with the series. Earlier this year, we let you know “Ultimate Spider-Man” would hit the animated airwaves in the near future. Since then, the show’s writers and producers have held a number of summits to hash out the stories for Spidey’s next animated adventure. So, we spoke with Marvel Television Development Associate Harrison Wilcox about how the most recent summit.In attendance were writers Joe Kelly, Steve Seagle, Joe Casey and Duncan Rouleau—collectively known as Man of Action—as well as Paul Dini and Brian Michael Bendis. Also pitching in were Jeph Loeb, Joe Quesada, Stephen Wacker, Cort Lane and Harrison Wilcox.While most animated series have a single Story Editor who works with the show’s producers to break each story, then assigns different scripts to freelance writers, the “Ultimate Spider-Man” summits seek to emulate a traditional writers’ room on a live-action television series.
In a live-action show, every day you have a writers' room where the writers sit together and they break all the stories together. In animation, it’s just one person doing that, or one or two people doing that as the Story Editor. So that’s why we have [the summits], so everybody can get together and come up with the best stories and really work it out then and there.”From the very first summit, the show’s creators have had a roadmap for where they would take Peter Parker throughout the course of the premiere season, helping to guide them as they reconvene for each subsequent summit.“The first summit was very much setting up who the characters were, the pilot that Paul wrote, and the overall arc for Peter, Spider-Man, the main cast and our main villains,” recalls Wilcox. “So from the very beginning there was a plan on how the show started and how the season ended, and what happened along the way for our characters. In the room we have a whole board that lists every single episode and what is the general idea of each one, who’s in it, who’s maybe guest starring, that sort of thing. We can all see the whole season on the wall, and from there we decide what should happen when.”
While not everyone in the room takes part in the actual writing of the individual episodes, everyone has an equal say in how the stories develop as they discuss different storylines.“We all have the same role [at the summit],” explains Wilcox. “It’s just [to] try and find the best story. Find out what story we want to tell, who’s going to be in [it], and just the best way to tell that story [while] inserting as much Spidey humor and action into it as possible as we go. Everyone doing this has the same goal.”The process for deciding who will write a particular episode comes about very naturally, according to Wilcox, as the group goes over the story again and again.
Once a script comes in, everybody involved in the summits has a chance to go over it and give their own notes.“Like the writers' room, it’s a group effort,” Wilcox says of the process a script goes through from its first draft to a finished production draft. “[A script] comes to all the people who are in that room. It comes back to the whole group and we all give notes on the drafts as they come in. It’s everything from 'structurally it’s not quite working here,' to 'here’s a great action beat.' It’s all about making it
stronger. The first draft’s always pretty good, but by the final production draft it’s a very tight machine just because of all the really talented people who have given their input.”The acclaimed producer of Batman: The Animated Series is finally taking on a Marvel character in animation, as Paul Dini joins the upcoming Ultimate Spider-Man series. MTV broke the news, revealing Dini would be working with Ben 10's Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly and Steven T. Seagle on Ultimate Spider-Man, alongside Brian Michael Bendis, the man who created the comic book the series is based on. The Ultimate Spider-Man was a popular topic of conversation at today's "MARVEL Television Presents: The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Marvel Anime" panel at C2E2 2011. And while a lot of old information was being regurgitated for a new audience (the "Man of Action" creative team is helping to develop the project, Paul Dini is writing the pilot, Brian Michael Bendis is writing the second episode), the attendees were treated to a real surprise.
IGN got an exclusive advance look at a new interview that Jeph Loeb, Marvel's head of television, did for the upcoming summer issue of Disney twenty-three magazine, the quarterly publication of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, wherein he spoke about the 2012 animated TV series Ultimate Spider-Man. "The thing that I'm most immediately excited about, because it's in production, is Ultimate Spider-Man; it's the first Marvel-produced Spider-Man series," said Loeb. "We have an incredible writing staff including Brian Michael Bendis who has written every single issue of Ultimate Spider Man, more than 150 issues in 10 years, Paul Dini, and Man of Action." Loeb added, "What we're doing is putting together the coolest Spider-Man animated series that we can. This is a first step in what we want to define as Marvel animation and will capture the look and feel of the comics as the movies have captured the look and feel of the comics." "Like the comic and the upcoming movie," Loeb continues, "we're dealing with Peter Parker in high school, trying to balance his life between being a normal teenager and becoming the ultimate Spider-Man. This is the story of Spider-Man trying to become the best hero that he can. And work his way up to the major league guys like Captain American and Iron Man and The Avengers." Loeb believes "fans of Marvel will be very happy with what we're putting together. And 2012 is when they're going to get to see this incredibly awesome stuff that we've been working on."

Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb, played an animation test for the series. And while he was quick to note that the reel was not necessarily indicative of the final product, it did provide a look at character designs as well as certain series motifs.The reel kicks off with J. Jonah Jameson's angry mug on a giant screen in Times Square. He's blasting costumed vigilantes – especially Spider-Man – and asking that the public not tolerate their activities. Cut to webhead himself – sporting a very Ultimate Spider-Man comic book look – swinging through the city, right past the jumbotron. Next, he swings past a penthouse apartment, the child inside following the hero past the windows. He swings past another window where Mary Jane Watson works on a computer inside and fires a web-blast at the glass that forms the shape of a heart. However, his stroll through the city is soon interrupted by an alarm triggered inside a jewelry store. But before he can "swing" into action, a watch materializes on the hero's wrist. Nick Fury (the Ultimate Sam Jackson version) appears on the tiny screen notifying Spider-Man that he's late for the rendezvous. Spidey tells him that he has to take care of a "great responsibility" first, capturing the escaping thief and hanging him via a web blast to the same jumbotron that's airing Jameson's rant. 'Ol webhead then takes off to meet with Fury.
While the reel as a whole looked extremely cool and displayed an overall premise that hasn't been seen in a Spider-Man animated series to date, perhaps the coolest part of the 'toon was the voice coming out of Jameson's mouth – that of live-action J. Jonah Jameson actor, J.K. Simmons. You know how it was announced that the Ultimate Spider-Man TV show was to debut on Disney XD in Fall 2011? Well, according to Marvel's Twitter account, it's been pushed back to the beginning of 2012, a few months ahead of The Amazing Spider-Man.
