Spidey Shoes Tingling
Marvel Entertainment and Disney are expanding their horizons with everyone’s favorite web-headed wall-crawler, Spider-Man. In a partnership with Reebok, shoe-maker extraordinaire, Spider-Man will be gracing sneakers later this year, with the footwear available at Finish Line stores nationwide starting in the next few weeks. Disney has made it’s way to the soul (ha!) of the issue before, with sneakers featuring Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and other Disney icons, just as Ben 10 has had his own sneaker involvement in the past. No word yet on whether or not these sneakers will give you the ability to walk up the sides of buildings, or if the laces could double as webbing to swing from rooftop to rooftop, but… we doubt it.

Gearing up for Generator Rex
One of the really cool things about animation is that there’s no limitation on “new”. Between theaters, television, and DVDs (or even streaming video!) there is always new toons ready to be seen. Take for example, Cartoon Network’s upcoming animated series Generator Rex. Initially teased early last year, Man of Action and Cartoon Network are now ready to bring Generator Rex to the public. The pair has formerly had major success with Ben 10 and Ben 10 Alien Force, and with all the effort put behind this series, it’s a safe bet we’ll see the same. (more… )
