Kristin Vincent, vp digital products for Marvel, said that the Ultimate Spider-Man digital series will appeal to fans of the cartoon because, although it’s not animated, “the storytelling just lends itself naturally to a tablet.” Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso agreed, saying that the series “will excite [kids] and it’s in a format they understand.”
