Spider-Man '94 Annual Will Revisit Peter and Mary Jane's Animated-Series Cliffhanger

The unresolved ending of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is getting a comics follow-up. Marvel’s Spider-Man ‘94 Annual #1 is scheduled for December 9, 2026, with John Semper Jr., the original show’s writer and producer, writing a story about Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson’s reunion after the finale.

This is a comic book, not an announcement of a new animated season. The annual fills in a moment between the television ending and the ongoing Spider-Man ‘94 comics revival, according to Marvel’s solicitation reproduced by Nerdist.

What happened at the end of the cartoon?

The 1994–98 series ended with Peter setting off alongside Madame Web in search of the real Mary Jane, leaving their reunion off screen. The annual’s premise finally brings that meeting into view. That makes it a direct answer to a long-standing question from the show’s fifth and final season, while leaving room for the comic to tell its own story. We won’t assume the exact outcome or any further plot turns before publication.

Who is making Spider-Man ‘94 Annual #1?

The publisher’s distributor listing credits John Semper Jr. as writer, Alessio Cammardella as interior artist and Nick Bradshaw for the main cover. It lists the issue at 32 pages, $4.99 in the US and a T rating. The scheduled sale date is December 9, 2026; as with any advance comic listing, that date can change.

The annual relates to the Spider-Man ‘94 series launched in 2025 by J.M. DeMatteis and Jim Towe, but its specific hook is the missing reunion immediately after the cartoon finale. Readers seeking the next animated episode should keep the formats separate: Marvel has announced a print story here, not a television revival.
