Marvel Entertainment has recently signed a deal with Hallmark Cards to feature a number of superheroes from the Marvel lineup within greeting cards – both traditional and animated ones with lights and sounds — imagine getting a card with the Hulk that roars when you open it! The art on the cards will be based on the comic book designs of the characters, designs from the live-action movies, as well as their designs from their various animated series, like The Spectacular Spider-Man, Marvel Super Hero Squad, The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and Thor.

Peter Parker is Spider-Man?!?! Well, OK, it’s not so shocking to us, because we’ve known that already for years!

Even with Kelly Hu back as the voice of Sha Shan Nguyen, the episode still sounds scary!
