But before he can do that, Peter will have to learn how to work with a team of fellow teenage super-heroes. Along the way, he will have to navigate challenging relationships with mentors and super-colleagues, and emerge with a better understanding of his parents' legacy and his own destiny 
 
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.

“As you break a story, it will click with one or two people really well, and it will become evident over the course of the discussion of the episode [who’s best to write it],” he continues. “[You see which writer] really has a good visual of what the story is and how to go about writing it. You’ll see for every question they’ll have an answer that everyone will agree with or nod their heads and say ‘oh yeah, that’s cool, that makes sense.’ They’ll gain ownership of it by understanding. No one’s claiming territory for it, there’s a consensus without anyone saying anything [that] this is the person to write it. It's then Man of Action's role as Supervising Producers to select the writer and guide him or her through each draft.”
 

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. 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.

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. “Because this is our Spider-Man show, and the first show that Marvel is producing itself, Jeph wanted to do things a little differently and have a writers' room meet together to break the story,” elaborates Wilcox. “In a live-action show, every day you have a writers' room where the writers sit together and they break all the stories together.

Spiderman Edge of Time


Spider-Man 2099 is the only one who knows how things used to be -- how things are supposed to be -- because he went through the time portal with the evil scientist. Now, Spider-Man 2099 has to work through time and a telekinetic link with Amazing Spider-Man to keep the hero from getting killed and unspooling everything.

Players take on the role of Amazing Spider-Man and use his web hammers and such to quell enemies from a distance. Spider-Man 2099 is much more melee based and meant to get up close and personal with the bad guys. As I've said before, though, that's not all that shocking as that's how both of those characters played in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, but the E3 demo introduced "Hyper Sense." This ability allows Spidey to slow down time and dodge enemy attacks while getting in some shots of his own.

Hyper Sense is critical because it's needed to take on Anti-Venom. Of course, Anti-Venom is Eddie Brock. In the comics, Brock used to be Venom and be a bad guy, but as Anti-Venom he's a force for good and can cure people of aliments. That doesn't matter here as the evil scientist has taken control of Anti-Venom and is going to use him to fight the Amazing Spider-Man. That fight might sound like every other fight in a video game, but Anti-Venom can "cure" Spider-Man by removing the radioactivity from his blood. Basically, if he gets his hands on Spidey, he can make him a normal dude.
 
 
This is what kills Spider-Man. Activision confirmed that Anti-Venom is the foe that takes Spider-Man's life and kicks off the entire game. I'm not sure if what I saw in the demo was the second time Spider-Man faces off against Anti-Venom or if this truly was the fight that ends his life, but when I found out this is the man that would finally kill Spider-Man, the fight meant so much more. Anti-Venom kind of hulks up and lunges at Spider-Man. The hero tries to talk him down, but eventually Anti-Venom pins him down and -- the demo ends in desperation.

Activision must have been pleased with the results of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, giving internal studio Beenox the keys to the Spidey kingdom as lead developer of the franchise. While its follow-up, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, appears at face value to be a step backwards, halving the number of Spider-Men, the team hopes that by paring it back to two classic characters, Amazing and 2099, they'll be able to weave a more coherent web around time travel.  
demo took place inside the Alchemax factory that we've seen previously. Despite being an indoor environment, the elastic size of the building means that it can house a varied range of environments, spanning drab grey industrial walls all the way to lush jungle environments.

 
Each of the main Spidey characters (you'll play only one at a time) has its own unique abilities. 2099 has a ghost decoy that he can use to fool enemies and robotic targets, using it to flank and attack them when they're least expecting it. He can also use the skill as a way of turning technology against itself--using turrets to kill guards on the same team, confusing mines on when to detonate, and opening doors by letting them lock-on and fire rockets before deftly diving away to safety. Like in Shattered Dimensions, each Spidey will have his own individual fighting style. Amazing relies on his webs and speed to wrap up targets, while 2099 is a brawler, lumbering in and walloping anything standing between him and his objective.

 
 

Key to the game's success is tapping Spidey-specific abilities, and the development team has deliberately scrapped anything that another superhero could feasibly do in his place. Because of this, expect plenty of vertical wallclimbing and swinging to reach otherwise inaccessible areas 
.

Cause and effect is a big tent pole feature of Edge of Time, and as we progressed through our demo, the Spidey we weren't actively playing would appear in an inset video in the lower right-hand corner of the screen for some telepathic chitchat. Actions have direct kick-on effects, and in real-time, walls will appear and disappear, while enemies can evolve and devolve on the fly, from a single giant robot to a pack of smaller armed thugs, based on your combat. Cause and effect will largely be on rails, though we were told that the game does feature some optional choices that branch the story slightly. Unfortunately, while the concurrent timeline premise got us thinking about cooperative play opportunities, our hopes were dashed with the game supporting only a single-player story.

Fans who loved the free-fall sequences in the last game will be pleased to hear that there are plenty more on the way; their length has been extended by popular demand. The one that we saw had our guide zipping through the air, avoiding debris, and, as the timeline changed, quickly adapting to get out of the way of walls.

 
We also got a look at a new section of the game and a new (old) face, Anti-Venom. As fans of the comic series will be aware, Anti-Venom is able to purge nasty substances from others, and as he attempts to remove dangerous levels of radiation from Spider-Man, he simultaneously weakens him. Spidey 2099 steps in, warning Amazing Spider-Man that continuing on will kill him, knowing that if he dies, the timeline will be greatly impacted (and that he will eventually fade away from photos and will kiss his mother--not really, we made that last bit up). Amazing's sense of civic duty propels him onwards, determined to stop the impending destruction of the compound even at the risk of his own safety.  
 

Evil scientist Walker Sloan also makes his debut in the game, playing the part of Venom's puppet master and taking control of the symbiote against its host's will. We didn't get to see the whole boss fight play out, but going head-to-head with Venom, he grew considerably in size, rushing at us and showing off a full range of swipes, giant fist morphs, and explosions during the multipart encounter  

  .

Though Beenox is attempting to meet the challenge of creating something for those new to the universe while satisfying aficionados at the same time, we have been told to expect plenty of fan service in the form of hero and villain cameos. Everyone loves collectibles, so there will be plenty of those to root around for, as well as a range of Easter eggs. 

Both Spider-Men will be swinging their way onto the major consoles this year. 
 

"Spider-Man: Edge of Time," hitting shelves in Fall 2011 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS and 3DS. Now we've got your first peek at the game with the first trailer and a slew of screenshots, including two exclusive to Marvel.com!

The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 must join forces in this all-new game, written by comics veteran and Spider-Man 2099 co-creator Peter David and developed by Beenox, the same studio that brought you "Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions"
