How successful was my SPIDER-MAN TAS: 30th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION panel at SDCC? We were in the very huge Room 5AB (500 seats) and we had a sellout, with people who arrived too late being turned away at the door. We got many rousing rounds of applause. And I got to hang out with…
🚨1. It’s time to speak out. I don’t usually in such cases apart from the odd joke here and there. But the Baldoni/Lively case has taken a very dark turn. It is def not Amber v Johnny and never was. It now involves us all and is way more serious than gossip columnists would have…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY (July 21st) to award-winning mystery writer MICHAEL CONNELLY, the creator of the popular police detective character "BOSCH."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY (July 21st) to the star of THE LAST STARFIGHTER (1986), actor LANCE GUEST!
While several people chose to make their point by being rude, the apparent lingua franca of the perpetually angry Internet, @spiderman20058 drew this excellent background for me to use in my SDCC panel announcement. Kudos to him for being helpful, talented and a good human.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY (July 19th) to "Sherlock Holmes" and "Doctor Strange", aka actor BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH!
For the few folks who were outraged 🤬 that I used an AI pic for my previous SDCC panel announcement, here's one for you with the original model sheet for Spider-Man. And relax. If you keep getting so agitated about trivial stuff, you'll never live to be as ancient as me. 😁
So, about that new SPIDER-MAN '94 comic book...

I'm thrilled to announce the upcoming July 7th premiere of WEATHER HUNTERS, a new animated series for which I have been the Head Writer and one of the Executive Producers. This is what I've been working on for the past two years. variety.com/2025/tv/news/a…
Today, November 19th, marks the 30th ANNIVERSARY of the premiere of the FIRST episode of my SPIDER-MAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, "Night of the Lizard." Today, I celebrated by web-slinging high above NYC! Follow me on BlueSky at johnsemper.bsky.social
I'm very sorry to report that actor JONATHAN HAZE has died at age 91. He was the original "Seymour" in "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS", the 1960 Roger Corman B-movie that launched everything that came afterwards.
I was so sorry to learn that QUINCY JONES has died. He was a huge talent, and his contribution to the soundtrack of our lifetime is too large to measure. RIP to the legendary QUINCY JONES.
I've been asked a lot about a revival of my Spider-Man series after the cameos in X-Men. I had my agent reach out to Marvel to inquire about a reboot. This is the same answer we got. cbr.com/xmen-97-spider…
