Marvel’s Disney XD shows have a big fan base encompassing old and young viewers alike. Guardians Of The Galaxy, Spider-Man, and the various Avengers shows are currently pulling in decent numbers, and above all, they’re a joy to watch.

It’s terrifically sad, then, to hear reports this week from the animation community that Marvel are about to announce the cancellation of all three shows.

Friends of the site working on the series had alluded to the news being in the wind earlier this week, but were unable to confirm the move for contractual reasons. Now, however, the reliable TOTCMS blog have stated that “some of Marvel Animation’s shows are going on hiatus and (we’re told) crews are being laid off. Crew members say that much MA work will be completed in the next few months.”

That…doesn’t sound good for anyone.
