Spider-Man: The New Animated
Series (Special Edition)
Editorial Review:
Description:
When a nasty bite by
an irradiated spider endows teenager Peter Parker with
miraculous, arachnid-like powers, his death defying heroism
wins him admiration from those in need. But being a superhero
has its drawbacks...especially when you're in college! As
Peter gains the trust of his friends, the police call him a
vigilante. But he meets the challenge by exercising his
wonderful powers for the good of all. Multi-talented performer
Neil Patrick Harris (Undercover Brother, Starship Troopers),
television star Ian Ziering ("Beverly Hills 90210"), and
singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb ("Cake and Pie"), lend their vocal
talents to this thrilling, computer-animated version of the
comic book classic and mega-hit feature film,
Spider-Man.
Amazon.com:
While fans
breathlessly await the fate of the computer-animated New
Adventures of Spider-Man (it remains in limbo after being
dropped by MTV in 2003), they can enjoy all 13 episodes of its
first season on this two-disc set, which includes a wealth of
extras. Mainframe Entertainment (which created the cult
Saturday morning series ReBoot) and writer/executive
producer Brian Michael Bendis (the Ultimate Spider-Man
comic) give the venerable story a spin by placing Peter Parker
(voiced by Neil Patrick Harris) in college alongside pal Harry
Osborn (Ian Ziering) and longtime crush Mary Jane Watson
(singer Lisa Loeb). As usual, Parker/Spidey must conceal his
secret identity while wrangling a host of foes, which are a
mix of ones drawn from the comic book (The Lizard, Kraven the
Hunter) and brand new enemies (Talon, voiced by rapper Eve).
Spider-Man fans seem firmly divided into "for" and "against"
camps over the animation, which beautifully captures Spidey's
web-slinging, but often looks awkward when depicting everyday
movement. Die-hard series viewers and Spider-Man/Marvel
collectors in general will be pleased by the set, which
includes behind-the-scenes featurettes and commentary by the
creators. --Paul Gaita
