Get ready for more action packed toons, brought to you courtesy of Marvel and the renowned Japanimation studio, Madhouse.

Marvel and Madhouse teamed up to create four all new anime versions of classic Marvel super heroes.

Fans can check out the exclusive first glimpse of the anime Iron Man and Wolverine series at next week's San Diego Comic-Con.

The official teaser trailers will debut at the Marvel Animation Panel and be hosted by writer and multiple-Eagle Award winner Warren Ellis, who will appear to discuss writing the all new adventures of these re-imagined super heroes.

These Marvel Anime TV series are being created as a way of merging the Marvel super heroes of western culture with the bold animation tradition of Japan. The resulting product will be four visually groundbreaking anime series featuring popular super heroes redesigned and repurposed as emerging from the fabric of Japanese culture.

The series are expected to hit the airwaves on the Animax channel in Japan in spring of 2010.

Not so sure about the Wolverene one, but the Iron Man one looks awesome!

That was not wolverine, ...........

Ironman looks awesome though,

It will be interesting as most anime follow a manga, where as Marvel has a rich stock of characters and no specific story line

I think a marvel Anime could really pull out the potential of a hero, adding blood and action American cartoons just wont do

Spiderman, Thor, Hulk, even Cap America would be bad ass

Iron man looks awesome so techy~

thats an interisting take on Wolverine too....he's hot and they've added a mystical quality to his blades

hell yeah I'll watch this stuff

This Iron Man is hopefully way better than The Invincible Iron Man.

As for Wolverine... Even though it doesn't look like him at all at least his mouth isn't sewn shut... & he looks way cooler than the Hulk Vs. version...

wolverine hasnt got his trade mark hair

Wolverine hasn't got his trade mark hair

Cross your fingers & hope Stark doesn't have it... Stealing Wolverine's hair... Just shocking...

That Iron Man one looks like it'll be really really good. But that wolverine.. Alternate universe/reality but wow he looks different.
