Rejoice, everyone! All 26 episodes of Spectacular Spiderman are coming to one blu-ray set in April before Amazing Spiderman 2.

Now if only Sony would release a complete set of X-men: Evolution as well before the new X-men movie comes out.

Considering how horrible current Marvel cartoons are, we really need to support the GOOD Marvel cartoons when they come out like Spectacular Spiderman...and hopefully we'll get to see X-men Evolution get a full series set too which was critically underrated X-men cartoon and pretty damn good. And then maybe another Avengers: EMH set after that.

Fantastic news. One of the few Spidey cartoons not to outright suck with writing that handles the character with precision care. I'd kill for a continuation comic at some point, I really want to see the culmination of the five-year plan they had for this.

It's also a shame the unofficial Spidey/Gargoyles crossover play the casts of both shows performed at conventions won't be included

Hooray!

Now if only the 90s Spider-man animated series can get on Blu-Ray, then it's are all good to go.

Man I'm hoping X-men Evolution gets a full release on DVD or blu-ray because of the new movie. The last season of Evo was never released to DVD if I remember correctly.

X-men Evolution was severely underrated because all the kids who grew up with 90's X-men basically trashed all over it. It did have a shaky first season but it improved tremendously as the show continued.

I want the 90s show. I'm not as excited about other Spidey shows, although they're fine. Not what I grew up with, though.

I guess this'd be a good opportunity to watch that entire second season that I didn't even know aired until it was over.

Hey, Wolverine and the X-Men is a really good show as well. I'd recommend it.

But as someone who is watching this show for the first time on CW's Saturday morning block, Vortexx, I'm actually enjoying it. Josh Keaton is a really good Spidey/Peter Parker, something I think the other incarnations are lacking in.

I'm getting this ish.

And Spider-Man has a hyphen.

At some point, I needed money, and I decided to sell my DVDs for the simple fact that the whole series ended on a cliffhanger. I'm rather tempted to get this, although I probably won't. Anyway I'm glad it's getting the Blu-ray treatment, as well as getting released as a complete series set for those who want it.

As for X-Men: Evolution, I've been contemplating getting the final season from Vudu. I've taped the whole season, and I'd like to copy them to recordable DVDs, but a digital format would be better. DVD or Blu-ray, however, would be EXCELLENT.

I gotta get me this set, I loved Spectacular Spider-Man and the art style is from one of my favorite artists.

Yep, this is a definite purchase for me.

Quite a welcome surprise. I'd love it if Avengers:EMH got the same treatment.

Nice! Yes, gotta support these good Marvel toons! I really wish they'd bring this show back the way Family Guy got brought back. Ah well. Yeah, I'd also love to see X-Men Evolution get a complete boxset release. And the 90's Spidy wouldn't hurt. Yep, buying this one for sure. Spectacular Spider-Man ruled when it aired and it still does imho. I just hope if/when X-Men Evolution gets released by whichever DVD distributer, they give usU.S. PAL format or however the heck that works. Allot of those 90's X-Men eps on DVD were tough for me to get into because it sounded as if the characters were sucking a little helium. haha Yes, I bought them all again via amazon instant video because I was that picky. But I'm sure Spectacular Spider-Man and other future Marvel releases will get a better treatment. Looking forward to picking this one up. It was a great series and it got canceled too soon!

just hope this comes to the UK

I smiled so hard that it hurt when I saw this news on IGN.

It is too bad the show can never be revived. After Ultimate Spiderman ends they'll likely do another reboot.

Apparently there were plans to end Ultimate Spidey and replace it with a new cartoon a while back, not sure if those plans have changed or not yet.

They better get on it.

Ultimate has only been renewed for Season 3, right? So after 78 episodes it should be done.

Yeah, let's hope. I hate to be negative but Ultimate just ain't my cup'a tea. Watched the entire first season and liked the Goblin and Venom eps but other than that, not so much. Spectacular was awesome all around.

I remember when the show was airing that the DVD versions would include extra footage and "directors" cut versions of episodes and then the DVDs were cancelled...So whatever happened with that? Did those versions ever exist?

Do people actually care about physical media anymore? I would've been excited years ago but now I prefer knowing I can watch it anytime on Netflix, sure the rights might expire one day but I think it's obvious it'll be available in one way or another through other means not to mention always through piracy.

I do. It'll look great on my Marvel blu-ray shelf.

Digital is for chumps, and I only buy digital when there's no other alternative.

All my videogames, DVDs, movies, etc. I want to actually own. That way 10 years from now I still have the guarantee that I will be able to watch them...with digital you never know.

This is the same reason I barely buy any apps on my phone. Usually whatever I download is free.

Physical media is on the way out, the majority is making the switch to digital whether you like it or not, physical will always exist but it'll be far from the normal choice. I loved physical media and owning stuff like shows I liked but two factors showed up in my life that makes me unable to look back at physical media. Ease of use, I love having games/movies/shows etc all at the touch of a finger without worrying where the X is, worrying if it's scratched etc. If anything digital media is safer since I can have backups. The second thing is space, I just don't have that much space anymore and hoarding things digitally is great since it takes no extra space unlike IRL. I still want to keep physical media of things I absolutely love but for the rest nah. Finally I realized many of the movies and shows that I owned are just things I'll probably watch once more in my life, I don't need all that clutter for something I can probably watch on a streaming service years from now and worst case scenario I just download it.

Damn is this show really that good??? I was going to watch it on netflix, but it was pulled before I could watch it. Also I am with Cybercube X-men evolution is a great cartoon that is underrated.

Uh, YES. I like the feeling of owning something that won't get taken away from me later. (Unless someone decides to burglarize my place and rip my stuff off.)

Seriously, questions like that piss me off.

Uh, not it's not.

It's hands down the best Spider-Man cartoon by far. I'd highly recommend watching it. :D

I dont know if you live in the United States or not but if you do get ready to be pissed because that easy access could be going away for a long time and get very expensive. With the idea of Net neutrality the Comcast/Time Warner merg deal even the paying comcast to stream there site faster. Its looking more and more like physical media is going to be in more demand then ever. Yes piracy is a away to get around the money grubbing asshole who take things off Netflix or what have you but its not a true substitute theres a alot of stuff I cant find or at the very least in good quality that a good old DVD or Blu-Ray has. Also if you need any more evidence when it comes the physical media vs digital all you need to look at the revealings of PS4 and Xbox One went. Xbox went from being an all digital internet media device to backpedaling to physical all because of consumer outrage that doesn't say everyone is ready to me.

Now that I got that rant out of my system **** yeah Spectacular Spider-Man on Blu-Ray hell yeah I am excited to own that. I just wish they would get the 90's Spider-Man show out on DVD to.

Of course this happens a month after I finally cave and buy the whole series on DVD...

Still Blu-Ray if its affordable and includes some sweet extras that I will have to rebuy this series because it is that good. Heck then I can regift the DVD's to my sister...

Oh Spectacular Spider-Man you are truly the greatest

It has the same extras that the season 1 set and the "Attack of the Lizard" DVD has.
