Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! The Avengers Volume 3 & 4

It’s official, the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! The Avengers animated series is ranked in the top 10 all-time favorite and best superhero animated TV series. And it’s easy to see why.

Volume 3 and 4 of Disney's DVDs deliver some of the best Avengers stories seen on the small and large screens and in print.

In Volume 3 The Avengers face off against Zemo and his Masters Of evil, encounter a giant robot from the Kree Galaxy, come face-to-face with the master of time: Kang and discover just how lethal the sting of the Black Widow can be. As an extra bonus a short clip: Avengers Unmasked: Masters Of Evil looks back on the history of the Masters and their connection to The Avengers.

In Volume 4 Loki shows his hand and sets in motion the fall of Asgard, Hydra raises its ugly head, or should I say heads?, and Ultron 5 gains sentience and decides to conquer mankind in order to save it.

In Volume 4’s Avengers unmasked segment, Hydra is examined and traced back to its early Marvel roots.

The Avengers animated series is by far the best animated series Marvel Comics has produced so far. The animation is clean and well-plotted, special effects are well-done without being overpowering, and the voice actors do a great job on their respective characters and the stories draw the viewer in with lots of little subplots and surprises. Often plotlines from upcoming episodes are snuck into the stories assuring that viewers will stick around to find out what happens in future episodes. It’s a great series and I enjoyed watching each episode.
