The Super Hero Squad Show features characters from the Marvel comics family - Wolverine, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, etc, who all live in Super Hero City. While they have many of the same features of their look in comic books, the characters on this show have definitely been created to appeal more to kids, almost like mini-me versions of themselves. The Cartoon Network series is kind of a good way to introduce your kids to comic books which normally aren't always appropriate for their age range, especially as The Avengers is the big comic book movie coming out this summer that features a lot of these characters. If you are a comic book geek, you'll either find plenty of stupid humor in this series, or kind of cringe at the fact that it's not like your comic books - it's a toss up.
This cartoon is rated TV-Y7, and while younger viewers can enjoy it, you may want to use your discretion. It has the usual cartoon violence, of course, and some of the humor can be borderline as to whether or not it's appropriate for younger viewers.
The Super Hero Squad Show: Season Two Volume Three will be available Tuesday, April 17th, 2012. The full screen disc is rated TV-Y7 and has a total running time of 2.5 hours long.

I received a copy of this DVD in order to view it and share my thoughts on it. All opinions are my own.
