Hmm, let's see. Since the four identities thing, they cancelled all the Spidey titles after a story where Green Goblin/ Norman Osborn finally went totally insane (We're talking hallucinating and foaming at the mouth here.). Then they started a 12 issue series that retold Spidey's origin and early adventures with modernizing and some small changes at the hands of John Byrne. This series basically just screwed up Spidey's history a little (like now the guy running the experiment that gave Spidey his powers was Doc Ock). After the first few issues of that series, they relaunched Amazing Spidey, Spectacular Spidey, and Peter Parker: Spider-Man as regular continuity books, and Spidey resumed his adventures after being inspired by an imposter who was filling in for him. They also launched Webspinners, a book that tells stories at different points in Spidey's past. That's about all I know about Spidey in the last couple years worth of comics. As for the new show, I don't think it has anything to do with the old Fox show. This new show isn't going to feature Spidey as we know him; it's going to have different Spideys of parallel universes if I'm not mistaken. That basically means they'll be giving us alternate versions of Spidey. Confusing as this is, I hope I cleared some of that up for you.
