Hi,
Does anybody have an opinion as to whether or not the new stories in this mag are canon? Spider-Fan (http://www.spiderfan.org/comics/title/s ... ar_uk.html) mentions that this "is a generic cartoon version, essentially based on the popular 90's TV cartoon", but I'm a bit skeptical about that. It's still on-going years after the show ended, and cartoony art doesn't necessarily mean the comic is based on that or any other show.
In the most recent review for this title, Spider-Fan also says (http://www.spiderfan.org/comics/reviews ... k/155.html):
I'm curious if there's any good reason these can't be considered canon. I haven't read this myself, but I may try to track some issues down.

Originally those new stories were one-off tales set in a "Generic Spider-Man" continuity which had much in common with the Spider-Man of the 1990's Cartoon series. More recently they attempted to construct their own "Ultimate Spider-Man-esque" version of young Peter Parker, though recent issues seem to have drifted back to the generic cartoon continuity.
