We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
On April first Disney XD will be debuting it’s Marvel Universe block. The core show will be Ultimate Spider-Man along with other shows and segments from Marvel Entertainment. For those that have the XD channel in their packets have fun watching. For those that don’t most libraries will probably pick up the shows when they become available for their animation section. Thanks to ICv2 and Marvel.com for the trailer/commercial below:
Marvel’s site has a brief interview with Drake Bell who will be voicing Spider-Man in the new animated series. Disney XD will have Ultimate Spider-Man on its schedule for 2012. Another example of how Disney is trying to get the teen male ratings that they have been anxious for.
