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.
More Super Hero Squad Show Season 2 News
Marvel’s financial reports for the third quarter are out, and they point to great news for Super Hero Squad Show fans (and fans of most other Marvel Animation… except for Spectacular Spider-Man, which they continue to list as only 26 episodes). Super Hero Squad Show, Avengers and Iron Man Armored Adventures are all listed as 52 episodes, even though Wolverine and the X-Men, Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, Iron Man: Armored Adventures and Super Hero Squad season 2 (along with the whopping 6 episodes of Black Panther… which is taking a long time for an adaption) are all still in production. Anyway, here’s the rundown from their report:

Clanure has started a thread on the board about the recent dry spell between news and releases on… well… just about every toy line anyone collects! Join in if you’ve noticed the dry spell too.
Masters of the Universe Classics Mer-Man sells out in under an hour, for the second time. Collectors that were shut out still mad. I’ve only been locked out of one figure so far, and I fear it’ll happen again, but some people have had worse luck than me. Note to Mattel, the e-commerce server hosting your site just can’t handle the order onslaught. The sooner the figures sell out, the more people feel rushed to rush your site, thus more of an order onslaught. Finding a new e-commerce solution might go a long way to fixing the ill-will.
X-Men Origins Wolverine Cyclops and Iceman figures are apparently hitting stores on the West Coast now. Great news for Marvel Universe fans looking to boost tiher X-Men contingent, bad news for people that hate the leg joints.
TV Shows On DVD has the Hulk-centric cover art for the next volume of Wolverine and the X-Men.
They’ve also apparently got some some-what leaked pencil art for the third volume of the original X-Men animated series DVDs.

I was just watching G.I. Joe Resolute on Cartoon Network and when to HissTank for more information on the Resolute styled figures. What I found? Apparently a possible holiday themed Combat Heroes listing over at Target.
In other news, we put up a page with the Marvel Marbles information available so far. And just because it seems interesting, the start of a breakdown of toylines by size. Obviously, more work is needed.
Oh, and while many of you have probably seen it by now, Toyark has pictures of Forge and Toad from the Wolverine and the X-Men animated line.

Marvel.com has concept art and sketches up for the upcoming Iron Man Armored Adventures animated series. And what’s that? Hulk, Leader, Rick Jones and Fin Fang Foom will be guest starring in upcoming episodes?
Speaking of Iron Man, Terrence Howard is still angry about being replaced as War Machine.
And apparently we have Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen to blame for the Comic Sans font according to the Wall Street Journal.
Don’t forget that Wolverine and the X-Men is out on DVD (at least the first three episodes) as of this past Tuesday!
Wolverine and the X-Men on DVD
Having seen the trailer in the new Hulk vs. Direct to DVD feature, I noticed that it had April 2009 as a DVD release date. Of course, TV Shows on DVD beat me to it, with new of the Heroes Return Trilogy. Oh well, we’ll catch them next time.

Wolverine and the X-Men streaming at Marvel.com
Marvel has this article about how their newest cartoon featuring Wolverine and the X-Men will be streamed from their site the Saturday after the episode airs. It’s a great way for people who don’t have Nicktoons to catch one of Marvel’s better cartoons, while it’s still fresh.
