Avengers join slate of animated Marvel TV series

Marvel Comics has an Avengers 'toon in the works. Details:

Marvel Entertainment, announced today the production of an all new animated
series, THE AVENGERS: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Production on 26
half-hour episodes is already underway using the production services of
Film Roman, producer of the Simpsons and King of the Hill.

The new series, expected to be available for broadcast in 2011,
continues on Marvel's already impressive television line-up which
includes the all-new Wolverine and the X-Men and Iron Man: Armored
Adventures series that will both debut on Nicktoons in 2009. Marvel
Animation will also debut the all-new series Marvel Super Hero Squad and
The Black Panther next year.

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 addition of THE AVENGERS: Earth's Mightiest Heroes to our quickly
expanding animation slate continues our plan to complement each of our
tentpole live action features with an animated series," said Eric
Rollman, President of Animation. "This new ensemble series tracks
perfectly with our highly anticipated 'road to the Avengers' strategy
which includes some of Marvel's biggest and most beloved characters, and
which kicks off with two Avengers' themed feature films in summer 2011."
