WOLVERINE & THE X-MEN CANCELLED!!


Much to the surprise of cartoon fans everywhere, Nickelodeon's hyper popular "Wolverine & The X-Men" has been canceled!! Shocked fans lament over the fact that we have heard on several occasions that this terrific show had been renewed for a 2nd season & was in progress with an "Age Of Apocalypse" story arc, & it's popularity across the borders helped it get there. Marvel Animation Age reports that Sony/Marvel are looking to move on to new ideas for properties & that both W&TXM & "Spectacular Spiderman" (which will be replaced by a new "Ultimate Spiderman" series on Disney) are no longer in the works. A very surprising & saddening turn of events... if you never watched W&TXM do yourself a favor & check it out on DVD (hopefully a full season box will be coming soon), it's almost like a more mature return to the "X-Men Evolution" days, & proved to be an entertaining show with great animation, character designs & continuity for all ages. One of the current best animated series on (along the likes of Avatar:The Last Airbender & Clone Wars) it will be missed!!

***UPDATE: Appearantly W&TXM cancellation is because they were unable to work out the financing for the show with their financing partner... =(
