Marvel has announced that a new Avengers animated TV series has gone into production. As opposed to the previous Avengers direct to DVD movies, this will be a regular 30 minute TV series with 26 episodes in the first season.
"The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" is an all-new property featuring some of Marvel's all-time favorite characters including Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Giant Man and Wasp. When the planet is threatened by super villains, time traveling conquerors, alien invaders, mythical monsters and mad robots bent on the total destruction of humanity, when forces of evil are so overwhelming that no single hero has the power to save the world, when there is no hope left…the Avengers assemble!
The Avengers are the best of the best in the Marvel Universe and the greatest heroes who take on the most unbeatable foes. These are the heroes who hold back the storm, and the fate of the world rests on their shoulders.
The show is being produced by Film Roman, the same company that makes The Simpsons and King of The Hill. That gives a little hope that the show may actually be pretty good, or at least it won't be total crap like the last Avengers series was.
The series is set to debut in 2011 though, so we aren't going to be seeing it anytime soon. It's going to come out at the same time as marvel's two big live action films for Captain America and The Avengers.
What I want to know though, is why does Thor look so depressed in the above poster for the show. The poor guy looks like he's about to cry. Everyone else is giving us the standard "angry and about to fight" hero face we always see, but the son of Odin looks like he's having a really shitty day and just wants to go home. Somebody get that guy some prozac, quickly.
