Besides the image, the news that J.K. Simmons will reprise his role as J. Jonah Jameson from the Sam Raimi films, and the bootleg animation test making its internet rounds, we know relatively little about Spidey's next animated incarnation beyond its superior writing staff.

Man of Action has previously been responsible for Ben 10 and Generator Rex, powered by the creative team of Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle.
