Super Hero Squad Show Season 2 Art
Marvel’s been posting character art for various guest stars and characters in the upcoming Super Hero Squad Show Season 2, and while there haven’t been any real reveals, it’s still nice to see Nightmare, Nebula and the Stranger (here), Captain Marvel and Hercules (here), and She-Hulk, Nova and Nighthawk (here). Season 2 starts this Saturday at 6:30, so be sure to set your DVRs!
Marvel and DC DVD Round-Up!
Both Marvel and DC are hitting DVD shelves hard with new and upcoming releases so we thought we’d do a little round-up of today’s news.
First off, TV Shows on DVD has the box art for the Super Hero Squad Show second volume DVD, coming out on November 9, 2010. Target shoppers know that Target has an in-store exclusive set out right now with the complete first 13 episodes of the series so that might save you some money in the long run.
Later in November, November 30th to be exact, you can pick up the Iron Man Extremis motion comic from Marvel Knights Animation and Shout! Factory.
If motion comics are your thing, The Trades has a DVD review of the Astonishing X-Men: Gifted, featuring the initial Breakworld storyline from Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men run. September 30th is the release date for that motion comic.
If you don’t feel like waiting, you can grab Batman: Brave and the Bold Season 1, volume 1, collecting the first 13 episodes on 2 DVDs and released today.
And of course, you can also complete your collection of Wolverine and the X-Men (assuming you didn’t hold out for a US release of the season set, or import one from Canada) with volume 6, also released today.
As always, head on over to the message board to discuss.
