Reboots of 1990s nostalgia are all the rage at Marvel both with their comics and studios, and a comic book of Spider-Man ’94 is on the horizon just like X-Men ’97 received a cartoon reboot, but the head writer of the 90s show, John Semper Jr., says Marvel never reached out to him about their comic.

pider-Man: The Animated Series is a bright spot for Marvel for any screen adaptation of their beloved comics. It presents a version of Peter Parker that closely mirrors the 1990s comics, bringing it up to date and is a great spot for anyone to get to know the character of Spider-Man and his supporting cast.

With X-Men ’97 getting the reboot treatment on Disney+, many fans speculated Spider-Man would be something they’d look at as well, though Disney Marvel went a different direction doing a Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man cartoon that made a lot of questionable choices to reboot the character.

This last week, Marvel Comics announced they would be putting out a Spider-Man ’94 limited series in comics form to bring back the nostalgia of the animated series, bringing in 1990s Amazing Spider-Man writer, J.M. DeMatteis to do the writing work. While this would generally please a lot of fans, the head writer of the original show took to X to let fans know he was blindsided by the announcement. Apparently, Marvel Comics didn’t even attempt to contact him about it.
