X-Men And Iron Man

The fifth and final season of popular X-Men animated series from the early 1990s is presented by Buena Vista Entertainment.  All14 riveting episodes are presented on two DVD discs.

The animated series predated the X-Men movies and set the standard by which the
X-Men would be presented to the world.  Created and shown during and not long after the highlight years dominated by such artists as Jim Lee and Marc Silvestri, the series spotlighted many of the popular storylines running through the X-men titles at the time.

Look for such classics as The Phalanx Covenant, The Fifth Horseman and guest spots by Captain America, Magneto, Longshot, Jubilee, Cannonball and a whole host of
X-Men, their friends and foes.

I especially enjoyed the Old Soldiers episode starring a pre-claws Wolverine and Captain America story set during World War II.  And get ready for a whole boatload of surprises in the very last episode the winds up the series: Graduation Day.  Don’t miss it!

Also from Buena Vista comes the full first season of the Iron Man animated series released in conjunction with upcoming Iron Man movie.

In this mid-1990s animated series Tony Stark as Iron Man and a few fellow Avengers fight the Mandarin and his cohorts who each episode try to steal Tony Stark’s technology.

Look for Modok, the Gargoyle and other classic Iron Man villains as well as guest spots from longtime Marvel superheroes and Iron Man’s fellow crime fighters: War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Spider Woman, Nick Fury and Hawkeye.

It’s high-tech adventure and suspense as Iron Man battles against the Mandarin and his partners in crime.

Key episodes include the origin of Iron Man and the Mandarin.  It’s classic Marvel mayhem brought to life via cutting edge animation.
