Spectacular Spider-Man Lives Up To Name

June 9th, 2008 at 09:31am Richard Pulfer

Just when I was lamenting there’s nothing good on Saturday morning, the most spectacular exception arrived. Spectacular Spider-Man on CW is slick and above all smart addition to the comic book franchise which has already included three movies, ten cartoons, countless video games and even a live-action series. Like the best of its animated brethren, Spectacular Spider-Man effectively covers not only the quips of the web-slinger, but also the quirks of his supporting cast, which includes a surprising variety of characters true to the comic roots yet re-imagined for a fresh start. The series is also one of the best in recent memory to capture Spider-Man’s trademark agility, making the character just plain fun to watch – as any Saturday morning cartoon should be. Spectacular Spider-Man airs Saturday on the CW at 9:00 AM.
