Only now, theres footage.
Hit the jump for details on the footage, a recap of the panel and Spider-Ham!
Think of it as a super-poweredWhats Up, Tiger Lily?or a raunch-freeArcher.
The series is set to premiere in the fall.
If I were channel flipping and ran across it, Id probably stop and watch.
And as a 10-year old, I would have found it hysterically subversive.
And thats fine because, you know, its akids show.
Next, Loeb took on some internet rumors.
Contrary to web speculation,Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroeshas not been canceled.
When the show was first ordered, it was for 22 episodes.
Loeb and the team at Marvel Animation Studios upped that order to 52, which is a lot.
Enough in fact to tell the entire story, which Loeb promised has an, Epic, epic conclusion.
After the end of the series, the Avengers will move to the new, rebrandedAvengers Assemble.
Rather, he characterized it as a transition and a next step.
We are not saying that earths mightiest heroes did not happen, assured Loeb.
The clip fromAvengers Assemblewas quite rough.
The voice actors have not been finalized and some of the character models seemed a bit off.
Tony Stark, Captain America and Hawkeye all have the same shaped face.
And its an ugly shape.
Again and again, Loeb stressed the connection of style, tone and even continuity with the Whedon film.
And speaking of Joss Whedon, the new line of Marvel Knights animation was also previewed.
Nothing but titles were shown.
Fuck you,Seth McFarlane.)
This episode however, was totally awesome.
Thor tries to help, but is powerless to go against Odins word.
In the end, Spider-Ham learns an important lesson about the value of friends and becomes a human again.
This thing was really cool.
The action was fluid, the characters distinct and the cutaways worked structurally, stylistically and thematically.
I totally wrote this show off after last years panel, but its time to re-evaluate.
