Top 35 Best Episodes of Spider-Man the Animated Series
by Zabon | created - 22 May 2014 | updated - 22 May 2014 | PublicI have a very strong memory and personal love for the 1994 Spider-Man animated series. There are 72 episodes in the full series, but 35 of them are the best written and most compelling as well as having a reasonable climax or somewhat strong component that drives the episode as a whole. I would have to say that the most exciting and enthralling episodes are those that revolve around the symbiote storyline dealing with Carnage and Venom, closely followed by the Goblin arc. So these would be my picks for the top 35 episodes in specific order:
