Ultimate Spider-Man, premiering April 1 on Disney XD as part of the Marvel Universe block, is the super hero show everyone’s talking about—and you can experience the world premiere at South By Southwest Interactive Festival! At the historic Marvel: House of Ideas, panel Sunday, March 11 at 1pm on the IGN stage at the Palmer Events Center, Jeph Loeb (EVP/Head of Marvel Television) will debut the entire first episode of Ultimate Spider-Man for fans in attendance.

This can’t-miss panel also features the unveiling of Marvel’s bold new multimedia plans that includes the announcement of Marvel’s revolutionary new ways to read comics, courtesy of Axel Alonso (Marvel Comics Editor in Chief) and Peter Phillips (SVP & GM, Marvel Digital Media Group). Don’t forget– this event is free and open to the public, so fans of all ages can be in attendance for the first look at the series that will redefines super hero animation—and the announcements that will change how you see comics!

“We’ve heard that Austin has some of the best Marvel fans in the world and we couldn’t imagine a better ‘thank you’ for their support than the world premiere of Ultimate Spider-Man which comes to Disney XD on April 1st,” said Loeb. “Working with top writers and talent, we’ve produced an animated series that brings Spider-Man to life like you’ve never seen him before. They say they do it up big in Texas —and we can’t wait for the smiles on the crowd’s faces when they get the first look at Ultimate Spidey in action!”

Once the Marvel: House of Ideas panel concludes, fans in attendance will receive a limited edition Marvel lithograph (while supplies last) and a chance to have it signed by Loeb & Alonso in a special Marvel signing session.
