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.”

    Animated Iron Man in May!

    January 29th, 2010 Comments Off Posted in Marvel Animated

    May 4th is going to be a good day for fans of 1990′s Marvel Animation! Both Volume 5 of X-Men, wrapping up the well loved series, and the complete Iron Man series (and responsible for a whole generation of kids knowing Julia Carpenter as Spider-Woman, the Mandarin as a green alien, and MODOK as a weird creepy floating head) get releases sure to make many people happy! While I agree, they could definitely benefit from some added features (and better encodings in some cases), given the number of years we’ve been waiting, at this point we’ll take what we can get.
