Ultimate Spider-Man, Marvel’s Newest Cartoon

April 13th, 2010 Comments Off Posted in Marvel, Marvel Animated

Wwwyzerd gets a tip of the hat for pointing out news of Marvel’s newest animated series: Ultimate Spider-Man to air on Disney XD. Comic Book Resources have done a little breakdown of the teaser image and point out that ultimate Nick Fury, Nova, Doctor Octopus, Iron Fist and the Green Goblin all have a silhouette, and quote Eric S. Rollman, the President of Marvel Animation as saying Spider-Man “teams up with other fan favorite Marvel Super Heroes”. Marvel Animation Age went straight to the sources for some comments, but came up empty handed, so it looks like the news on this is still pretty slim! Head over to our animation forum to discuss.

While US viewers are waiting for the July 13, 2010 release date of the first volume, Canadian readers luck out with three releases according to TV Shows on DVD. Volumes 1 and 2 are scheduled for a May 4th release, while Volume 3 is scheduled for June 29th. Who knows what episodes are in what set, and whether the three Canadian releases have anything the US release doesn’t, but hopefully as we get closer the pre-order listings will fill out with more info.

Meanwhile, Super Friends Season 1, Volume 2 is scheduled for July 20. TV Shows on DVD has box art and says that these episodes, in addition to the regular appearances by Batman, Superman, Wendy, Marvin, Wonder Woman, Robin and Aquaman, will also feature “Plastic Man, The Flash, and Green Arrow”.

Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Gets 52 Eps, 20 Ep. Lead

March 6th, 2010 Comments Off Posted in Marvel Animated

Superhero Hype! is one of the places running with Disney’s press release about Avengers: Earth’s Mighiest Heroes, but since it was the first I came across, it gets the link. Here’s the bullet points:

  • Fall 2010 debut on Disney XD.
  • 52 episodes.
  • Main cast is starring Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Giant Man and the Wasp.
  • The United States SHOULD be getting the world premier.
  • And something that I found particularly interesting: “A 20-part “micro-series” that focuses on each hero’s backstory will roll out in fall 2010 on Disney XD, immediately followed by the series premiere on Disney XD in the U.S. and, shortly thereafter, around the world.”
