The newest Marvel 'toon, The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, rocks on toast. Watch it!

Young Justice also debuted the other day as well. As of right now, all I have to go off of is the ~hour long pilot episode, but this looks like it'll be good as well. We'll have to wait until January before the series begins in full, which is dumb.
