It's not enough to have
Spider-Man on The CW,
Wolverine and the X-Men on Nicktoons and the upcoming
Black Panther on BET. Marvel Comics is now creating a new series for Cartoon Network
called the Marvel Super Hero Squad.Obviously, the show is marketed towards the very young viewer who is first being introduced to the Marvel super hero characters. That way, the company can indoctrinate new
zombies into its empire. The cartoon is based on Hasbro's anime-like
action figure series of the same name.
I can't help but wonder if Marvel is spreading itself too thin with so many movies and cartoon series. On the other hand, rival DC Comics is already marketing to the kiddies with their
Brave and the Bold series on Cartoon Network and one cannot help but wonder if Marvel simply doesn't want to be outdone in that demographic.
In any case, kids watching the show will buy the toys and vice-versa. Marvel is learning the lesson of Disney.

For a guy
who's been cashing in on the fame of one thirty-year-old television role, Lou Ferrigno is doing pretty well. He has a
recurring role on
The King of Queens as "Lou Ferrigno" (must be a stretch, acting-wise), and he's
got a successful fitness business. So you have to wonder why the former Hulk is suing his brother Andrew over trademark
rights to the brother's business, Ferringo Fitness, which is located in northwestern New Jersey.
Not that he
doesn't have an argument; even though Lou does not participate in the business, his brother, who took the business over
from their late father, has been displaying pictures of Lou as the big green guy for a number of years. There are also a
lot of design elements in the store that are green. So they're giving customers the impression that Lou is an owner when
he really isn't, and profiting off his name and image without his consent.
