Also canceled: Wolverine & the X-Men


How is it that I found two new cartoons that I love and they are both being canceled? Spectacular Spider-Man was canceled after two season but Wolverine & the X-Men didn't even make it that long!

I had a few issues with this show, mainly the name. I imagine this name was forced on the writers in order to tie into the recent movie that bombed. Although Wolverine is placed front and center and leading the team in this incarnation, there is plenty of time devoted to the other characters and this show has pretty much all of them.

The plot was basically Xavier gets sent to the Days of the Future Past universe (a dystopian future where mutants have been placed in concentration camps by Sentinels) and sends his consciousness back in time to instruct Wolverine on how to stop it.

It was probably the most accurate interpretation since the 1992 series, but the animation, dialog, and stories were a lot better.

I wish we could have seen season two.
