I Don't Hate This Idea Even One Little Bit

I even like the idea of a Howling Commandos series featuring these great Marvel Monsters. I have mixed feelings about many episodes of the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. I think they break the 'fourth wall' a little too often with Spidey talking to the screen but it's still a Spider-Man cartoon and features some cool characters we haven't seen much of in Marvel animation before. The Spider-Man concept has been done better in previous cartoon incarnations but I watch and will certainly be catching this special Halloween episode. Check out more after the jump...

Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man makes its Disney Channel debut in a special one-hour Halloween event, Saturday, October 5 at 9pm/8c. This brand new prime time animation special features a never-before-seen team-up with Blade, the fan favorite vampire hunter; Jack Russell aka Werewolf by Night; The Living Mummy; Frankenstein’s Monster and Man-Thing. United together in animation for the first time, Spider-Man and his monstrous allies take on one of the biggest Halloween villains of all time, Dracula!

This landmark Marvel event also features a star-studded voice cast, including Disney Channel star Ross Lynch (Austin & Ally, Teen Beach Movie) as Jack Russell; Terry Crews (The Expendables) as Blade; and Oded Fehr (The Mummy) as The Living Mummy.

“This is the biggest event in Ultimate Spider-Man history,” said Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s Head of Television. “We’ve brought Spidey together with our greatest Supernatural heroes and some of the hottest names to voice them. We’re hoping families turn down the lights and turn up the volume for our spookiest special yet, courtesy of Ultimate Spider-Man!”

The episode will re-air the following week within the weekly Marvel Universe block on Disney XD, on Sunday, October 13 at 11am/10c.

3 Reasons Why I Can't Wait For The Avengers Cartoon On Disney XD

There are tons of great shows, both live and animated, coming this fall. One of the ones that I am looking forward to is the new Avengers cartoon that will be on Disney XD. It will feature Iron Man, Captain America, Wasp, Ant Man, Hulk and Thor. The cartoon will pull its stories primarily from the classic Stan Lee/ Jack Kirby stories and will feature a ton of villians and other super heroes. Check out the trailer for the show below:



Aside from the great looking animation, here are three reasons why I am psyched to see this cartoon.

1. Ant Man (Hank Pym) seems to be able to combine his Ant Man powers (shrinking) and Giant Man powers (growing) in one character. This makes a lot of sense to me, since he has had both powers in the past. As far as I recall, Pym only had one of these powers working at a time back in the comics (I could be wrong though... am I?) and I never understood why. In this trailer we see him minaturized running through blades of grass and big enough to pick up a supertanker. Dope... just dope.
2. Loki. Thats it for me. Loki is one of my all time favorite villians. He is awesome, plus his helmet is fucking great. I do not know if he has ever gored somebody with his tusk helmet in the comics, but if it hasn't then Quesada and the crew need to make that happen. He looks to be a re-occuring character on this show, and rumors that he will also be the main villian in The Avengers live action movie make me h-h-h-h-happy (Simple Jack voice).
3. Iron Man being deignated the leader. Thats gonna piss Cap off a bit, no? Judging from all the bad blood between the two of them since the Civil War drama a few years back, and the constant struggle between them throughout the years to be the top cheese, I think this will be a big part of the show. It's interesting to me, and I can not wait to see how it plays out.

So there you go. The new show will be premiering on Disney XD sometime in late September or early October. Can not wait for this one. Tell me what you think in the comment section below.
