A SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN STORY

.

PREFACE

Alright, first off, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to check out my story.

As a fan of Spider-Man since I was a young boy - and fan of superheros in general - I was delighted to discover that such a great cartoon like "Spectacular" existed.

I was equally crushed to discover that it had been cancelled thanks to poor contract handling. Only two seasons, twenty-six episodes in total, of this wonderful show were produced. That sucks. Especially when season 2 ended on a bitter note and a cliffhanger.

It sucks even more when I found out that "Ultimate Spider-Man" has twice as many episodes with more on the way. That's just a kick to the balls.

So, as you can see, I intend on giving myself - and my fellow "Spectacular" fans - some closure.

This story is something of a continuation from where "Spectacular" left off, starting a month after the season 2 finale.

This story will also be taking inspiration from several different Spider-Man sources, such as other television shows, both the mainstream and Ultimate comics, and both the Raimi and Webb film franchises.

UPDATE/AUTHOR'S NOTE - 11/01/14

Edited first two chapters, hopefully cleaning up any and all grammatical errors as well as polishing certain areas that I found awkward or otherwise flat.

Also, I switched this story from the "Spectacular Spider-Man" archive to the regular "Spider-Man" archive. I don't want to come across as a review whore, but I do want my work to get at least some attention. And to be honest, the "Spectacular Spider-Man" archive is a bit... well... dead. A shame, considering the animated show was very, very good. It deserves a larger fandom, truly.

Extended Summary:

Norman Osborn is believed to be dead. Spider-Man's reputation is is tatters, especially in the eyes of his oldest friend, Harry Osborn. To make matters worse, Peter Parker is now a social pariah at his high school, thanks to his break-up with cheer-leader Liz Allan. With pressure from both of his lives pressing down on his shoulders, Peter must find a way to endure and overcome or else both him and Spider-Man are doomed to fail. Heartache and drama, action and suspense, romance and rivalry. All swirl together in the life of the Spectacular Spider-Man!
