Before "Iron Man 2" hits theaters, Marvel is releasing the first volume on Nick's hit show: "Iron Man Armored Adventures."
This show is the 3D CGI animated hit television series that holds the record for the highest-rated original series premiere on Nicktoons Network. "Entertainment Weekly" raved that "Iron Man: Armored Adventured" possesses “smart writing and stellar CG butt-kickery.”
Show Synopsis
Tony Stark is not the typical teenager… he’s a billionaire, brilliant inventor… and Iron Man! “Iron Man: Armored Adventures” follows Tony Stark, 16-year-old genius and heir to the billion-dollar corporation Stark International, as he battles the enemies of world peace with his revolutionary power armor technology. Growing up, Tony had always lived a life of luxury, but everything went horribly wrong when a tragic plane accident robbed him of his father and nearly cost him his own life. Eager to honor the memory of his dad, Tony now uses his suit of invincible armor and technical know-how to protect those who would also fall prey to tragedy, corruption and conspiracy. With help from his friends Jim Rhodes and Pepper Potts, Tony’s activities as Iron Man usually result in high-speed flight, high-tech battles and high-octane quests for justice.

Honestly I have never seen the show (the 3D CGI never appealed to me since the Spider-Man show came out) but I might buy this to see what the fuss is all about.
