ComicsOnline is pleased to share EXCLUSIVE Information regarding Sony’s Spectacular Spider-Man: Season 2!

Supervising Director/Supervising Producer Victor Cook was kind enough to share some information about what we can expect in season 2 and what lies ahead for our hero:

We’ve posted about half of season 2 so far (editing, music sound effects).

We have Ock, Sandman all the favorite bad guys coming back. Plus the premieres of villains we didn’t see in season one!-and the premiere of villains we didn’t tease at last comic con.

The first four episodes are full on winter, Dec-Jan. The third episode of season 2 is Christmas. The composers did some fun stuff in that one.

The snow covered city looks great! The animated falling snow also looks great!

We showed a snippet of the Kraven episode at San Diego, that whole episode is now complete and done– it looks fantastic!
