Superhero Hype reveals that a new animated Spider-man series, entitled The Spectacular Spider-man, is coming to the Kids’ WB! channel in early 2008. The new series will pick up the world-renowned web-slinger’s mythology at the beginning of his hero’s journey as a not-so-typical 16-year-old with new-found powers, engaging the multi-leveled pressures of teenage life while combating bigger, badder super-villains in the real world. Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, The Batman) is supervising producer on The Spectacular Spider-Man with Victor Cook (Hellboy: Blood and Iron) as producer/supervising director. The series is produced by Culver Entertainment.
