Animated TV series have often been the geek’s guilty pleasure, and with Wolverine and the X-Men coming to a TV near you in the first quarter of 09, add another guilty pleasure to the list. Here’s the trailer!

Wolverine and the X-Men begins as an explosive event shatters the lives of the X-Men and takes away their mentor, Professor X. The beaten heroes, including Beast, Storm, Cyclops and Nightcrawler, walk away from it all but then they are given a rare glimpse into the future, where they see a world in utter ruin…ruled by giant destructive robots. They discover the world has spiraled out of control because the X-Men have given up. So now the most legendary of all X-Men, Wolverine, must take the lead on the ultimate mission — to prevent the world’s destruction — while fending off enemies Magneto and The Brotherhood.

The nearly 4 minute video is really a great teaser for a show that looks like it will deliver. Logan must take control of the X-Men, so that it is him and not Scott Summers, aka, Cyclops leading, is a gem in and of itself. We see Emma Frost’s first animated appearance, make a trip to Genosha, and see another retelling of the mutant-hunter robots, the Sentinels.
