CBR has a look at some plans for promoting the new Spectacular Spider-Man animated series that is coming to Kid’s WB in 2008. The series is already being promoed on the network, and it looks like it may be the best animated version of the wallcrawler yet.

The plans for marketing the show are as follows:

* Starting in early 2008, Sony Pictures Television and Kids’ WB!/The CW Network will launch an in-school Milk Media Campaign in 85% of all U.S. schools. The campaign will include localized tune-in information that will be featured on The Spectacular Spider-Man branded posters and book covers in the top 8-10 markets, as well as branding on nearly 40 million milk cartons.

* Kids’ WB! hosted The Spectacular Spider-Man sweepstakes, giving away 100 not-yet-released Activision “Friend or Foe” video games every hour on Sept. 22. The “Friend or Foe” games will not be available at retail until October.

* A Kids’ WB! on-air teaser campaign for the series has begun to run regularly until the series premieres in early 2008.

* An extensive “kid focused” online campaign – featuring The Spectacular Spider-Man – will be accessible at www.kidswb.com.

* A trailer for the series is featured on Sony Home Entertainment’s Spider-Man 3 DVD available at Wal-Mart beginning October 30.

With Spider-Man 3 being such an amazing disappointment, it’s nice to be excited about something Spider-Man related again – and this animated series looks like it will be awesome.
