Given the slow news week as many are settling in for Thanksgiving, I figured we’d give a quick rundown of the week’s events:
JesseVader pointed out that Sir Steve’s Guide has Galactic Heroes News, specifically Anakin’s ROTS Fighter: Attack on the Invisible Hand and Jango Fett’s Slave I: Escape from Kamino
The newly rereleased Super Hero Squad Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man 2-pack features another running change and we’re attempting to catalog the differences over on the message board
And Comics Continuum is reporting that this week’s new The Super Hero Squad Show episode, Tales of Suspense, will feature James Rhodes donning the War Machine armor.
The Super Hero Squad Show Ratings
Apparently the Super Hero Squad Show is doing well… Marvelousnews has a piece about the prime-time same-day airings of new episodes, while Animated Superheroes points to a piece about the Super Hero Squad Show’s early ratings.
New Super Hero Squad Show Airdates
Just a quick update as to upcoming The Super Hero Squad Show air dates, here’s the current list of episode air dates according to TV Guide:
Sat, Nov 7 9:30am
Tue, Nov 10 9:00am
Wed, Nov 11 9:00am
Thu, Nov 12 9:00am
Fri, Nov 13 9:00am
Fri, Nov 13 6:00pm
Sat, Nov 14 9:30am
Sun, Nov 15 8:00am
Of course, the problem is that there’s no episode titles yet, and other TV listing places aren’t showing the Super Hero Squad Show on their schedules. So right now, if TV Guide is right, it’ll get a week of 9 a.m. showings with a primetime showing on Friday and a new 9:30 time slot starting next week. Hopefully as we get closer more information on those episodes, as well as confirmed times, will be available. As always, we’ll keep you updated with more information as it becomes available.
News Clips 10/10/09
Just a quick news round up for tonight:
First, IGN has an interview with the Marvel Brand Manager at Hasbro, Scott George regarding the Marvel Universe figures. Don’t expect new news though, there’s the usual talk of how the response to the line has been phenomenal, there’s the same old talk about how 3.75 inch figures are good for playsets and vehicles (Fact 1: the 3.75 inch scale does make it easier to produce vehicles and playsets. Fact 2: you have to make those vehicles and playsets because otherwise we can’t buy them) and some questionable research (“we hear guys like Mike Deodato and Bob Layton are involved as well”. If be “hear” you mean it’s pretty common knowledge, and Mr. Layton has even posted the art he worked on for the Secret Wars sets for sale.) An ok read, but nothing critical.
Marvel Animation Age, however, has all kinds of new news about the Super Hero Squad show, including a rundown of the Enter Dormammu episode that aired earlier today, and a some upcoming episode titles. For those keeping track, here’s the rundown of upcoming episodes, with descriptions added:
Saturday, October 17th, 2009 at 8:30 (ET) – “A Brat Walks Among Us!” “A spoiled young girl wears a fractal tiara, which gives her enmorous power to exert her will.”
Monday, October 19th, 2009 at 8:30am (ET) – “Oh, Brother!” – Loki endangers the Squad as a result of his sibling rivalry with Thor.
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 at 8:30am (ET) – “From the Atom… It Rises!” – A new villain, Scorpio, aligns himself with Doom and plots to steal Stark’s most powerful tech
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 at 8:30am (ET) – “Night in the Sanctorum” – The Helicarrier is smashed, so the Squad are forced to stay with Dr. Strange
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 at 8:30am (ET) – “This Forest Green!” – Egghead shrinks himself to steal a fractal so the Squad’s ally Ant-Man oges after him at micro-scale

Saturday, October 24th, 2009 at 8:30 (ET) – “If This Be My Thanos!” “The Squad helps the Fantastic Four in a battle with the Skrulls.”

Marvel’s Facebook page has been updated with a gallery of The Super Hero Squad Show images like Hawkeye concept art, Colossus, Reptil, Ms. Marvel, Captain America, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Misty Knight, the Fantastic Four, and even two massive spreads of all the Super Hero Squad Heroes, and all the SHS Villains. Hopefully that’ll whet your appetite for the show, which will be premiering in a few short weeks!
