New Marvel Animation Series Announced at NYCC

Marvel had some big announcements on day two of the New York Comic Con.

  • The Marvel Super Hero Squad series, based on those lovable super-deformed versions of your favorite superheroes. According to Marvel, it will be an “action comedy series”, and will star Iron Man as the leader, with Hulk, Thor, Falcon, Silver Surfer and Wolverine on the team. According to the live blog, there are tons of villains and even more heroes to star,including Fantastic Four, Hawkeye, Storm, Wasp, Dr. Strange, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Misty Knight. No date has been announced yet, but episodes will be shown at conventions throughout the year. A tie-in video game was also unveiled.
  • Iron Man: Armored Adventures, a mix of CGI and cell animation, to premier on Nicktoons April 24. It appears to be similar in style to the Spider-Man animation series which aired on MTV a few years back.
  • The Wolverine and the X-Men series has been green-lit for a second season, which will be a full 26 episodes. The first DVD of the series will be released on April 21.
  • Spectacular Spider-Man will be returning to television “soon”, but no other information was given during the panel.
  • Thor is getting his own animated series, which is currently very early in development and will tie in with the theatrical release in 2010. And in hopes they will finally do the comic justice, Marvel is trying its hand at another Avengers animated series, called The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, for fall 2011.
  • Most likely with the cross-over to Disney’s XD network, Marvel teased some of those Jetix shows will be coming to Marvel.com in the future. No further information was given.
