Marvel’s upcoming Darth Maul limited series has certainly given us reason to talk lately.

Taking into account that The CW renewed four series based on DC properties earlier today, it's quite apparent that the network has no aversion to greenlighting spinoffs and has great confidence in comic book adaptations.

In the past few years, our favorite wallcrawler has gone through a lot. Not only has Peter Parker had to balance his high school career with the expected challenges that come with being a superhero, he's worked with S.H.I.E.L.D., teamed up with the Avengers, and met several of his alternate universe counterparts in the awesome "Spider-Verse" crossover.
