    Spider-Man is our very first 'Character of the Month' so you can bet our 'Question of the Week' segment will be about him -- for this rest of this month, at least! We've previously asked you about your favorite Spidey villain and your favorite writer, but it's worth noting that Spidey's also had plenty of time to shine in the world of animation. Since 1967, the webhead has been the star of 8 different animated shows. This week, we want to know which one is your favorite. Will nostalgia reign supreme and the 1994 show will take the prize? Do you love the comedic style of Ultimate Spider-Man? Will the onslaught of hilarious memes from the earlier shows win you over (yes, this is a Spider-Man thread)? There's 8 very different options to choose from, so give it some proper thought and then cast your vote!

    CLICK HERE TO VOTE!

    Want to re-watch an episode or two before picking a top series? Well, you've got a bit of time to do just that! Voting will stay open until Thursday morning (ET). Or, maybe you don't need the extra time and already have your mind made up. If that's the case, thwip on over to the link above (sorry, couldn't resist that one), cast your vote and then let us know why a certain series is your favorite. Make the post awesome enough and there's a chance we'll highlight it in the updated feature later this week.

    Be sure to check the homepage on Thursday for a new article with the results and more!

    If you weren't into Spidey comics, you might vote another way, but Spectacular was as close to the actual comics as you can get.

    Spiderman TAS because it was highly enjoyable and most of the episodes were continuation from the previous episodes. Meaning if you watch one episode,of then your hooked. It had great dialogues, great action, and superb villains. Mobius the vampire, green goblin ,black cat and the king pin!!! Besides who doesn't love it when he swings around town and his web finishes at the worst times. Personally, it's all i wanted from a spiderman show. They even showed captain America in an episode. I loved the spiderbug which peter transformed into . The only thing i hatedd was that they only Aired one episode a day on a channel in my country and i went on vacation before i saw the whole run. I had to watch it online. The other thing i hate is that why did they stop making it. Sometimes i even hum its opening tune

    Spectacular is my vote

    I also like Amazing Friends for the character interaction between Pete/Bobby/Angelica, but it tended to handle villains very poorly.

    TAS was godawful for the most part.

    That is what I was thinking. I went Animated, but I loved Spectacular because it felt like a true spiritual successor.

    Easily Spectacular Spider-man the best written and animated spider-man one could say the best adaptation from comics to screen (of any form).

    90's spider man hasn't aged well even with nostalgia glasses

    For me it's a toss up between The 90s animated series and Spectacular.

    @perfect_10: Know what, I actually get that. I may not like this show, but I really like the Super Hero Squad Show, and absolutely love the 1960's Filmation Superman Aquaman Hour of Adventure (an absolute classic), so I can totally understand liking something a little different. Heck, I voted for the 60's Spider-Man series on this list.

    90s and Spectacular. Ultimate is too childish, the new animated series with NPH wasn't long enough to be considered good, 60's was so bad it was amazing, Spiderman and his Amazing friends and the 80's could've been so much better, and Unlimited was too short and the animation was kind of cheesy.

    @perfect_10: No, I never want to see Captain Marvel adapted into a movie. Quite frankly when I heard about the news a small part of me died inside. To be perfectly honest, I may distance myself from comics forever because of that film. (yes I know I sound like a drama queen)
