Hi John,
A UK edition of Marvel Adventures Spider-Man was scheduled for last year (or the year before) and was even advertised in Previews. However I understand the recession canned it before it was even launched. Possibly a good thing, in case it took sales away from Paninini’s Spectacular Spider-Man and Marvel Heroes which of course contain all-new material.

This was advertised as being a new title last year when Ultimate Spiderman & X-Men was cancelled (the last issue had an ad for it). When it didn’t appear, I rang Panini and was told that it was being put on hold. Maybe it’s old letter-headed paper….or they are resurrecting the idea….
