Super Hero Squad Show Season 2 Information

Newsarama has a brief interview and discussion of upcoming Super Hero Squad Show episodes and most importantly, the possibility of a second season. There’s good, and there’s bad in the interview (it’s hard to “apparently” get “remarkably positive results”, and I’ll pretend that the question about whether or not the show has begun airing is an attempt to put the interview in the interviewee’s hands, but “So the show has aired already… what are the reactions?” would have worked just as well), but two points of interest:

Point 1:

“Nrama: So how many episodes for the first season?

Lane: 26. We are already in pre-production on season two. I actually wanted to get on season two faster, but we’re working on scripts right now.”

and 2 is information about upcoming episodes (ignore the episode numbers, they have To Err Is Superhuman! as episode 4):

102 – “This Silver, This Surfer!” Written by Mark Hoffmeier
Silver Surfer can’t get a hang of earth customs, and drives his Squad buddies to frustration. So the Surfer sadly heads out on his own. Dr. Doom seizes the opportunity to capture him, realizing he can suck out the Surfer’s power to combine fractals and make an Infinity dagger. Yet the Silver Surfer enjoys torturing his own captors. Fortunately, the Thing rallies the Squad to save their lost friend in an all-out assault on Villainville.?

Guest Heroes – The Thing with Ms. Marvel

Villains – MODOK & Abomination

??103 – “Hulk Talk Smack!” Written by Eugene Son

During a chaotic battle with Klaw & Screaming Mimi, a fractal’s cosmic power turns the Hulk into the Gray Hulk. While Falcon and the Wasp babysit this unlikable, brainy Hulk, the Squad chase down the Lethal Legion in a battle to save Super Hero City.

Guest Heroes – The Wasp?

Villains – Klaw, Toad, Melter, Screaming Mimi with Abomination & MODOK? ?

So there you go, more information about Hulk Talk Smack and to This Silver, This Surfer, and best of all, news that season 2 is already in pre-production! As always, jump over to the Super Hero Squad Show message board to discuss.
