I'm sure of that, but details are quite fluid and change all the time. Using Spider-Man '94 as an example, Vulture's animated design was actually used in a 94 comic, yet the series didn't get around to using him in 95 or 96. The design was already there, but the show had more pressing priorities, which allowed the comic to get around to it sooner.
Of course, animation time is now easier with a CGI series, vs. traditional cel episodes which take 6-9 months to produce. The former obviously makes it easier to add or subtract as you go.
Nonetheless, I am interested in the cross-media appeal, as the OT's middle years -- specifically Season 7 -- drew well from it, for example. Moreover, Mirage didn't do too badly with the introduction of Hun and the Battle Nexus. As long as the book remains relatively intact to its original intent or theme, I'm all for it.
