Maybe, just maybe we’ll get a good Marvel animated series in 2008 with the premier of a new Spider-Man series entitled The Amazing Spider-Man. It seems that Marvel dominates the movie box office with their comic adaptations, but when it comes to the small screen they definitely trail behind DC (see JLU, Batman, Superman and the Legion).

The 2006 Fantastic Four cartoon that debuted on Cartoon Network last year disappeared after only 6 episodes. Supposedly it will return in a few months with the release of the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer movie.
