    "The Spectacular Spider-Man looks to be finally getting a Complete Series collection, coming to Blu-ray in the near future.

    While Sony have yet to put out an official press release about the set, it is now available as a pre-order on Amazon with a release date of April 22nd. That date makes sense, as it would be just a couple of weeks before the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and studios often release catalog titles relating to characters who have a big movie coming out, to capitalize on the accompanying hype.

    Sony have previously released a Season 1 set for Spectacular, but Season 2 was only released in four separate "Volume" releases, with three to four episodes each - so not only was there never a Complete Series set, there wasn't even a proper Season 2 set.

    The Spectacular Spider-Man: Season 1 DVD Review

    Fans had long hoped for a collection of all 26-episodes of the beloved but short-lived series - and having it be on Blu-ray is even better, given the show has never been put out in that format. The DVD News Flash Facebook page lists the only extras as being the "Stylizing Spidey" and "Spider-Man: Re-Animated" featurettes and a music video, which would be disappointing given these were the already-minimal extras on the Season 1 set and it looks like nothing else new has been added. On the other hand, unfortunately, it wouldn't be a big surprise if Sony declined to spend the money on any new notable extras - and it's great to, at the very least, finally have this wonderful show in one collection.

    Thanks to the Keep The Spectacular Spider-Man Alive! Facebook page for the heads up on this."

    It's about damn time this excellent series gets shown some respect.
