Yesterday, at the Comikaze Expo, the cast of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, arguably the best animated adaptation of Spider-Man ever, reunited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the hit '90s show. Check out the group shot directly below and read on further for more details about the reunion!

Post by Spider-Man: The Animated Series.

Producer and head writer John Semper Jr. assembled the cast for the event, bringing together Christopher Daniel Barnes (Peter Parker/Spider-Man), Saratoga Ballantine (Mary Jane), Jennifer Hale (Felicia Hardy), Gary Imhoff (Harry Osborn), Rodney Saulsberry (Robbie Robertson), Gregg Berger (Mysterio/Kraven The Hunter), and Patrick Labyorteaux (Flash Thompson). Also, in a special pre-taped video message, Ed Asner reprised his role of J. Jonah Jameson and spent a few moments wondering out-loud why everyone was so excited by an old TV show and that he'd rather be at Spider-Man's funeral! Other highlights from the reunion panel included a sizzle reel featuring some of the cast's best work and a Q&A session where the actors shared their experiences as well as recited popular dialogues from the show.

Semper did address the finale, which had Spider-Man go off into another dimension looking for his lost love Mary Jane. "I knew that we were finished with 65 episodes, but I thought maybe we'd have a little bit longer. I thought I made it very clear at at the very end that he was going to get to Mary Jane, but apparently I traumatized all of you. So I apologize for that," Semper joked. "I was leaving that door open in case by some miracle they said we were going to do a few more"

Additionally, Semper revealed that the full cast will be reuniting for a new crowdfunded project, titled Rocket Men. Not much more was revealed about the potential series, but if funded successfully, Christopher Daniel Barnes will voice the lead character.

Semper has also launched a new website, a new Facebook page, and a new YouTube channel, dedicated to Spider-Man: The Animated Series, that he will be updating throughout the year with a weekly podcast, exclusive storyboards, character designs and more! Check out some character designs for Spidey, Venom, and Vulture below and keep scrolling to view storyboards from the first episode of the series: "Night of the Lizard." and one of his first podcasts. Enjoy!

Most people grew up on Batman: The Animated Series. I grew up on this, and it's goddamn fantastic. Awesome to see the cast together as well.

Dingbat - 11/2/2014, 9:08 AM

This was a good show but it was no Batman: TAS

Blackspider2408 - 11/2/2014, 9:08 AM

I just want them to come back. The new show is so shit

Baka - 11/2/2014, 9:08 AM

kingpin and Daredevil were awesome on this wish Marvel would do like a good Daredevil animated show.

JamesMan - 11/2/2014, 9:09 AM

Damn, 20th anniversary?! So hey, when's America gonna get an official dvd or blu ray release? You'd make a lot of money and save a lot of people com buying bootlegs!

SpiderFraud - 11/2/2014, 9:15 AM

My damn childhood right here.

@0megaDaGod

I always struggle between those same choices.

Highflyer - 11/2/2014, 9:16 AM

I loved this show growing up.

JonAwesome - 11/2/2014, 9:17 AM

I wish they would give this series the Arkham treatment they did with Batman TAS, I still haven't played a spider-man game that wasn't just overly repetitive.

SpiderFraud - 11/2/2014, 9:17 AM

The nostalgia kills me every time I hear the intro to this great cartoon.

DCGuy - 11/2/2014, 9:17 AM

BEST SPIDERMAN EVER!!!

WHY IS THIS, X MEN, BTAS, STAS, STATIC SHOCK AND SO MANY OTHER MISSING FROM NETFLIX?!?!?!?!!

Chuck420Taylor - 11/2/2014, 9:18 AM

This was an amazing cartoon growing up. I love how they never saw kill or murder and how Spider threw like 1 punch the entire run. I always wished for another season to finally conclude the series.

GhostDog - 11/2/2014, 9:19 AM

Best Spider-man animated series ever!!!! Can I get a blu Ray release haha??. One of the top five CBM cartoons ever

JamesMan - 11/2/2014, 9:19 AM

I agree with @DrDoom, Spectacular Spiderman was an amazing show.

GhostDog - 11/2/2014, 9:19 AM

Dat theme song lol. Dat Daredevil fight/team up

clogan - 11/2/2014, 9:19 AM

This show should have been the main inspiration for Sony.

You know what makes the pain even worse? The fact that if Marvel Studios had their hands on Spider-Man, we would get something akin to this Series. :/

Highflyer - 11/2/2014, 9:20 AM

Of course... instead of reminiscing about the show, somebody has to bring up big screen movies and whine.

Chuck420Taylor - 11/2/2014, 9:20 AM

Amazon prime (instant video) has some of the missing cartoons from Netflix

SpiderFraud - 11/2/2014, 9:22 AM

I was up to the last season before Netflix took it off. Trolled me hard.

Highball - 11/2/2014, 9:23 AM

20th anniversary?! Ouch, I'm gettin' old :S
Best damn Spider-Man adaptation, movies don't even get close!

LeonNova - 11/2/2014, 9:23 AM

This was an awesome show; I'm on the younger side I didn't actually watch it during it's original run, but I used to buy DVDs made from it as a little kid and watch them. This show made my childhood pretty much; I wish it had gotten more seasons.

Manta4000 - 11/2/2014, 9:25 AM

The 90s animated series is of it's time (and a bit of a mixed bag) but it is a very enjoyable show to watch ESPECIALLY if you watched it in the day.

I'm surprised that it has yet to be released on DVD Stateside considering the X-Men series got the DVD treatment and this show is Spider-man..... SPIDER-MAN!!!

Highball - 11/2/2014, 9:27 AM

Anybody here remember the game? Pretty fun, played in Genesis myself... Oh the nostalgia!

DeusExSponge - 11/2/2014, 9:33 AM

They should reunite to make a new Spiderman series, forget about Ultimate Spiderman!

LOCKE - 11/2/2014, 9:36 AM

Great show. Second behind batman for me. Taught me a lot about the marvel universe when I was little

Nick56 - 11/2/2014, 9:37 AM

This is still the best Spider-Man show imo I loved this show growing up in the 90s

DefcoN - 11/2/2014, 9:45 AM

This was the shiz back then. I watched this a lot as a kid.

RidiculousFanBoyDemands - 11/2/2014, 9:46 AM

Don't get me wrong I loved this show growing up. This, X-men and batman TAS were the shows I would record and watch over and over. But, the spectacular spider-man is better and it was a shame Marvel cancelled it for the abortion that is ultimate spider-man.

RidiculousFanBoyDemands - 11/2/2014, 9:47 AM

Fun fact: joe perry from Aerosmith wrote the theme song for this show.

MBZ1993 - 11/2/2014, 9:49 AM

will the show come back on netflix? the daredevil episodes were the bet imo and they always had really great storylines tht any age can enjoy
