Get an exciting first glimpse of two of the planned four series at Comic-Con International 2009. The Marvel Animation Panel will be held on Friday, July 24th, and will include an exclusive first look at official teaser trailers for the two new series, hosted by writer and multiple-Eagle Award winner Warren Ellis, who will also discuss writing the all new adventures for these re-imagined Heroes.

The series is expected to run on the Animax Channel in Japan starting in the spring of 2010.
