New episodes of Marvel's Super Hero Squad Show are coming to Cartoon Network, according to Marvel Comics Editor-In-Chief and show producer Joe Quesada, who made the announcement this weekend during the Marvel Animation Panel at the C2E2 2010.

Two new Captain America series were announced at yesterday's MONDO MARVEL panel at C2E2, and one brings up a Bad News/Good News situation.

It will be a high octane espionage adventure and will set up events that will affect the Marvel U for the foreseeable future. Covers for the series will be done by Carlos Pacheco [...]

C2E2 2010: ‘Atomic Robo’ Writer Brings Back The Infinity Gauntlet

Posted:

At yesterday's MONDO MARVEL panel at the 2010 Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) saw a bunch of new titles announced, and one that has me excited is an out of continuity project by Atomic Robo writer Brian Clevinger.

The new series is called The Avengers and the Infinity Gauntlet and was described as a complete reimagining of the original story, published in 1991. Apparently Clevinger was told to read the original series, then forget everything he just read and come up with his own Infinity Gauntlet story.

In the new story, Thanos has the Infinity Guantlet and a group of Avengers has to get it back before everything dies. We'll have to read the series to find out exactly how it differs from the original story, but if it's anything like Clevinger's other works, it will have a lot of action and humor [...]
