Avengers Confidential
While it’s a bit of a hard sell for both anime fans and comic book fans when the two forms meet, they’re doing something right in terms of sales which is why they keep making them. After four TV series that were done previously and an Iron Man feature with the Technovore, Marvel and Madhouse are back this month with Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher. With Sony Pictures distributing it, they’ve got a series of new clips showing off the production and some interview bits as well that sell the show in a pretty good way. The title is getting a release on March 25th, 2014 on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download. With it working off the ideas of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but not considered canon, it’s definitely interesting to see what they bring into play.
Plot concept: After interfering with a top secret mission, The Punisher is taken into custody by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and Avenger Black Widow. At the orders of Director Nick Fury, Punisher and Black Widow are sent on a mission to stop Leviathan, a global terrorist organization that plans to sell stolen S.H.I.E.L.D. technology to the highest bidder. Now, the vigilante and spy must work together to prevent this technology from falling into the wrong hands. The fate of the world, and of the Avengers, hangs in the balance.
