What Is Techno Again?

Watch lots of X-Men this weekend

This Fourth of July, let Jubilee provide all your fireworks entertainment. It’s time to gear up Netflix for a weekend or two because X-Men: The Animated Series (1992-7) and X-Men: Evolution (2000-3) are now available on instant streaming. The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! Season 1 (2010) is also newly added.

Marvel Action Hour: Iron Man (1994-6) and the three summer-slated Spider-Man cartoons are still unavailable: Spider-Man (1994-8), Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (1981), and Spider-Man (1981-2).

More Marvel cartoons are coming this summer and fall. The Marvel website has a full breakdown of the shows you’ll be able to watch immediately upon release (or “immedjately,” as Scarlet Witch pronounces it).

Marvel Meltdown: May ’10

This week is Marvelous, and filled with reviews of X-Men Forever #23 (good for the classicists), Amazing Spider-Man #631 (good for the contemporary), Iron Man Legacy #2 (good for the moviegoers). Take your pick:

“X-Men Forever is a treat, a book that rallies the X-Men together and blends their talents and personalities like it’s 1991.” - X-Men Forever #23

“The scenes with Spider-Man and the Lizard are so intensely gratifying, they sell the comic.” - Amazing Spider-Man #631

“Legacy doesn’t introduce any particularly revolutionary ideas, but it does make a nice movie companion.” - Iron Man: Legacy #2
