No comic convention is going to keep us from serving up our regularly schedule dose of Major Spoilers goodness to all our readers and fans. And for those of you who are at the con and need something to get you going this morning, how ’bout you get the blood pumping with The Ramones Spider-Man theme song?
Here’s another Rapid-Fire Roundup of News coming out of the San Diego Comic Convention. This morning we take a look at the many announcements Marvel made at the show on Thursday, which may seem slim compared to the announcements supposedly coming from Joe Quesada later today.
There is a semi-big announcement for those interested in Marvel Mega-Events.

Marvel has announced, that following Amazing Spider-Man #600, the company will debut Web of Spider-Man in October. This will be a new ongoing title that will feature Spider-Girl stories in the issue as well.
“With the ‘Gauntlet’ storyline starting up and many classic adversaries of Spider-man coming back to the book, we wanted to find a place to tell you more about them without it eating up too many pages of the thrice-weekly Amazing Spider-Man,” explained series editor Steve Wacker. “So while were tossing ideas around on where to best put that stuff, beleaguered assistant Tom Brennan came up with the notion to bring back the “Web” title as a way to give a home to stories to people caught up in Pete’s life. Starting with the first issue’s Kaine story by JM DeMatteis and then continuing onto stories about Electro, the Rhino, the Lizard and many more by Web-Head Fred van Lente and regular Spidey artist Barry Kitson, the stories here directly impact what we’re doing in Amazing Spider-Man!”
The company is packing a lot into this first $3.99 issue, including a zombie variant cover – because we all know people are clamoring for more zombie variants.

Is Monday the new Saturday? Disney XD launches another new episode of The Spectacular Spider-Man at 7:30 PM ET/PT, and there’s a sneak peek, after the jump!
With the San Diego Comic-Con just around the corner, some of the weird from Hollywood is starting to surge to the forefront, as we present another installment of the Rapid Roundup of Tinsel Town Rumors. Some might be true, some might be outright lies, but they are all entertaining… to someone… maybe not you… maybe that cute girl on the bus would be interested in your thoughts on the subject… or maybe not. I don’t think looking at her and saying, “So what do you think about Cameron Diaz and the Green Hornet?” will get a dialogue started.

On Monday, June 29, 2009, Disney XD airs a brand new episode of The Spectacular Spider-Man featuring Robert Englund reprising his role at the Vulture.
As Christmas approaches, the SINISTER SIX reconstitutes with SANDMAN, RHINO, VULTURE, ELECTRO and new members MYSTERIO and KRAVEN. All they want for Christmas is SPIDER-MAN – dead. Meanwhile, PETER PARKER finds his wandering eye prevents him from being with GWEN STACY. He’ll have to learn to focus if he wants to get the girl… and if he wants to stay alive.
The new season of The Spectacular Spider-Man debuts at 7:00 PM ET/PT on Monday June 22, and we have a sneak peek of what you can expect from the episode.
In the season premiere, “Blueprints,” Peter wants to talk to Gwen about their first kiss, but before he gets the chance, Spider-Man has a run-in with the sorcerer Mysterio. Following in the additional brand-new episode, “Destructive Testing,” Peter wrestles with his feelings for both Gwen and Liz, but in the meantime, Kraven the Hunter has arrived to make Spider-Man his prey.
The Spectacular Spider-Man has moved to Disney XD for those of us in the States, so make sure you set your Tivo accordingly.
If our Friday Sing-Along had you curious, here’s a look at what The Electric Company offered up to us young tikes back in the day.
Narrated by Todd Graff, with Danny Seagren as Spidey, Jim Boyd as the Yeti, and Morgan Freeman as the policeman who wants to end the Yeti’s squashing spree.
The groovy Spider Man theme song was composed by Gary William Friedman, and the vocals on this version were performed by the fourth lineup of the Short Circus.
I forgot how many well known stars made appearances on TEC
Damn, I almost forgot about this. Let’s get our groove on, on this wonderful Friday.
And yes, I realize there isn’t much singing for you to sing along to, but comeon, you know you want to sass out the name Spider-Man…ha-ha-ha in all the right places.
Takin’ it back to the good ol’ days this week. Sing-along won’t you?
…
I’ve got nothing…
I’m finding the best way to start my morning is to take a peek under the hood of Hollywood and find out what is percolating. Today, it’s a dose of Spider-Man 4, Star Trek, Ghostbuster, and Dragonball news. Yup, Dragonball, with a bit of A-Team news to boot.

For those of you who have been crying in your beer ever since the events of Brand New Day, can heave a sigh of releif as the webslinger and the hot model are back together again.
Wait, what!?
That’s right, True Believers, if you local paper (are there any of those left anymore) carries the Spider-Man comic strip, you saw Peter wake from a dream to discover he and Mary Jane are still hitched. Check out the editor box for how it happened.

It’s too bad the real Spider-Man comic books can’t switch gears this easily.
