Amazon Prime Video's new Spider-Noir has posted a 92% Rotten Tomatoes audience score, the highest for any Marvel series and above fan favorites including X-Men '97 and Agents of SHIELD at 91%.
The Nicholas Cage-led show is also drawing strong critical support with a 91% critic score, suggesting its noir-style gamble landed with both reviewers and viewers.
Amazon released all eight episodes at once, with the alternate-universe Spider-Man story following private eye Ben Reilly as he is pulled back into superhero work.
The result stands out in a Marvel TV catalog that remains stronger than its reputation suggests: 13 series hold audience scores of 80% or higher, while eight top 90% with critics.
