For nearly a decade-and-a-half, publisher Activision’s name was synonymous with the Marvel Comics license. Starting with 2000’s Spider-Man from developer Neversoft and X-Men: Mutant Academy, the house of Call of Duty would pump out nearly a Spider-Man game a year on top of titles like the X-Men Legends franchise and Marvel Ultimate Alliance among others.…
Starting today on Disney+, the multiverse of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be explored in the new animated series, What If…?. Based on the Marvel comic book of the same name, What If…? will spotlight such divergent outcomes as Peggy Carter getting the Super Soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers, and T’Challa taking up the…
Venom had the (dis)honor of having his big screen debut in the well-meaning, but very flawed Spider-Man 3 in 2007. Now, eleven years later, the Spider-Man villain turned anti-hero is set to headline his own movie starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and the toothy title character, arriving this Friday, October 5th. While this weekend will only mark Venom’s…
Superman may hold the Guinness Book of World Records for longest running video game protagonist, but I would wager that Spider-Man could hold a record for protagonist that has starred in a video game across the most platforms.

The writing has been on the wall for this news for some time now as there hasn’t been a new Spider-Man game either announced or even hinted at being in development since 2014’s awful The Amazing Spider-Man 2 tie-in game, but Canadian developer Bennox will no longer be making any more Spider-Man console games. Like nearly every…
Spider-Man: The Animated Series did a lot to bring in new fans of the character, especially those who were introduced to the character via an animated series, namely the 1960’s Spider-Man cartoon, in the first place. At a time when comic fans were up in arms over the fact that Peter Parker may or not…
This Friday Nintendo unveiled the New 3DS to the world, and to start off given the title of this piece, I really like the look of the new system: I love the colorful buttons, the size dimensions seem great, I’m ecstatic over the inclusion of the new GameCube-esque second analog nipple for camera movement, but as…
Spider-Man 2 is the losing your virginity of Spider-Man games: You’ll never forget your first time, but it will never be your best time. Read any comments section in the review for a Spider-Man game from 2005 forwards and you’ll probably see a lot of “I loved Spider-Man 2! Why can’t they make another Spider-Man…
When it was initially announced, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions from series first developer Beenox seemed like a game hinged on a flimsy gimmick for the purpose of injecting life into Activision’s fledgling but once renowned series of Spider-Man games.
