Review for "Great Power:"
"Ultimate Spider-Man is not like the beloved fan favorite series The Spectacular Spider-Man. It’s not like the smash hit that the 1990’s Fox Kids animated series was. Ultimate Spider-Man is something different yet still completely appropriate for Spider-Man. At this year’s Marvel TV panel at the 2012 WonderCon, Marvel TV’s Director of Development, Jeph Loeb, previewed the first part of the show’s one hour pilot which will be dropping April 1 on Disney XD. To those that have been observing the show and previews with trepidation, you might find yourself surprised that like Batman: The Brave and The Bold, it’s not so bad."

Review for "Great Responsibility:"
"This episode wraps up the two-part series premiere and ... it was good. I wasn’t blown away, nor was I instantly hooked as I was with other recent ‘toons, but this show deserves a fair shake when it debuts. There’s plenty of potential here to become the next big thing from Marvel Animation. However, some long-time fans will definitely not approve of this overly jokey series. I believe that one interpretation of a classic character is just as valid as the next, and this take on the Wall-Crawler will likely garner quite a few fans. As long as the show doesn’t consistently sacrifice character and depth for comedy and action, Ultimate Spider-Man can easily reach the same mammoth audience and devoted following as the likes of Teen Titans and Ben 10."
