Marvelous News had a cameraman record the power point presentation from Hasbro. Check out all the news Marvel and Spidey toys coming in 2011.

Activision has just released the store exclusives that will come with the Spider-Man Shattered Dimension game.
Best Buy will get the Negative Zone Spider-Man. I know Zach will shop at K-Mart to get the Scarlet Spider. Also unlockable in the game are Manga Spidey and Spider-Armor.


Much has been made in the recent past of the question, “What is Spider-Man about?” Tom Brevoort famously declared in his Spider-Man Manifesto, which became the bible of Brand new Day, that Spider-Man was not about responsibility, but about youth.

But a related – nay, identical – debate cropped up even before that manifesto hit the web. Should Spider-Man grow and change?

This became mostly a debate between those “pro-marriage” and “anti-marriage.” In one corner, Joe Quesada said fans that want Spider-Man married are selfish and want him to grow old and die with them. In the other, marriage fans said that growth is integral to the character, and forcing Peter back into never-ending single-hood is tantamount to character assassination.

Sadly, because of One More Day, it seems almost all debates about what is or is not good for the character of Spider-Man have become “pro-marriage” vs. “anti-marriage” debates. This does a disservice to some topics, pigeon-holing the issue and branding fans on a side of the debate they may not have thought about past, “I’m with them.”

Bertone has a few more pics coming in from Comic Con. The latest one is Mary Jane showing her love of the site.

Here are two clips showing Josh Keaton in the Ultimate Spidey level and Dan Gilvezan in the 2099. Keaton voiced Spider-Man in the “Spectacular Spider-Man” cartoon. Gilvezan voiced Spidey in the “Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends” cartoon.
