The Spider-Man team-up franchise will span cartoons, books and merchandise starting this fall.
Marvel Entertainment is targeting the fans of tomorrow with Marvel Super Hero Adventures, a brand new multi-platform program centered around an animated series intended to introduce the Marvel Universe of heroes and villains to a pre-school audience.

The short-form animated series will begin this fall, with each three-and-a-half minute episode teaming Spider-Man with another Marvel hero to teach the benefits of friendship, co-operation and heroism. Characters set to appear in the first 10-episode run include Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Black Panther and Ms. Marvel. (Both the specific launch date and platforms on which the series will appear are to be announced at a later date.)

The animated series will be accompanied by a series of early-reader chapter books from Marvel Press, beginning this month with Deck the Malls!, a team-up between Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen — the Gwen Stacy of an alternate reality, who also has spider-powers; don't ask — written by MacKenzie Cadenhead and Sean Ryan, with art by Derek Laufman. Three more chapter books are scheduled for the initial wave of the campaign, which continues through 2018.
