Ranking Every Spider-Man Cartoon From Worst To Best

1. The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008)

The absolute best Spider-Man cartoon to hit the airwaves since the first in 1967 is, without a doubt, The Spectacular Spider-Man from 2008. The series ran on Kids WB for only two seasons, but those were two of the most well-written seasons of Spider-Man television to date.

The Spectacular Spider-Man took what worked with the character from the previous five decades and modernized it in a way that was not only appealing to children, but also to adults.

One of the things that made this series the greatest of them all was the duality present in the depictions of both Peter Parker and Spider-Man. As any reader can tell you, balancing his superhero life against his civilian life has always been one of Peter's biggest struggles and this series managed to work it in perfectly.

There were some changes to the character(s) in the series, which included making Eddie Brock Peter's BFF before the symbiote took hold of him, but those changes worked well. The animation is amazing, the voice-acting is perfectly performed, and the stories are excellently written. What more could you ask for in a Spider-Man cartoon?
