Story

Animation

In terms of design, the producers made sure that the animation team knew about the style and history of Spider-Man art. They wanted to make sure that the animation team took all of those ideas and put them into the animation of the series. An animation test shown at Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo in 2011 did match the comics quite closely. [1]

The look of the series is inspired by the artwork of Stuart Immonen (who previously worked on the Ultimate Spider-Man comic), Humberto Ramos, Ed McGuinness and Joe Quesada.

Trailer

The test footage at C2E2 Showed J. Jonah Jameson prattling on about masked vigilantes being a menace while Nick Fury scolded Spider-Man as he nabs a crook.
