Marvel and Hulu partner for four animated series
------------------------------------------------
Marvel Entertainment and Hulu have announced they're
expanding their partnership for four new animated
series and a standalone special.

The streaming service has ordered animated series
adaptations of M.O.D.O.K., Hit-Monkey, Tigra &
Dazzler Show and Howard the Duck, as well as the
special The Offenders, which will bring all of these
heroes together for a team-up mission in the same
vein as The Avengers and Netflix's The Defenders.

* M.O.D.O.K., set around the character of the same
name created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, will be
written and executive produced by Patton Oswalt
(Happy!) and Jordan Blum (Community) alongside
Jeph Loeb (Legion). The series will follow the
titular supervillain with the really big head and
really small body as he fights to keep control of
his organization and his needy family.

* Hit-Monkey will follow a Japanese snow monkey who
trains with the ghost of an American assassin to
prepare for a bloody and darkly comical revenge
trip through the seedy Tokyo underworld. The
character was created by Daniel Way and Dalibor
Talajic and the series is being written and
executive produced by Josh Gordon and Will Speck
(Office Christmas Party) and Loeb.

* Tigra & Dazzler Show will see the titular best
friends / superheroes as they face one of their
biggest battles yet: recognition from other
superpowered people in Los Angeles. Tigra, created
by Tony Isabella and Gil Kane, and Dazzler,
created by Tom DeFalco, Roger Stern, Louise
Simonson and John Romita Jr, have not been seen on
the small screen for years, with Dazzler's previous
portrayal seen in the 2009 animated series 
Wolverine and the X-Men and is reportedly set to
appear in the next live-action X-Men film, Dark
Phoenix, and Tigra was last seen in the 1999 Fox
animated series The Avengers: United They Stand.
The new series will be written and executive
produced by Erica Rivinoja (The Last Man on Earth)
and Chelsea Handler (Chelsea) alongside Loeb.

* Howard the Duck, who previously made it to the big
screen in the widely detested 1986 film and cameo
appearances in the Guardians of the Galaxy films,
was created by Steve Gerber in 1973. The series,
being written by Kevin Smith (Jay and Silent Bob 
reboot) and Dave Willis (Your Pretty Face is Going
to Hell), will follow the titular hero as he, with
the help of his best friend Beverly, attempts to
return to his home planet before Dr. Bong can kill
and cook him.

* The Offenders, executive produced by Loeb, will
follow all four of the characters as they are
forced to reluctantly team up to save both the
Earth and various parts of the universe from an
unknown force.

This is actually good news - that's a long list of people whose work I
wouldn't condescend to watch, doing properties I don't care about on a
service I boycott.
