Guardians of the Galaxy Animated Series Poster & Release Date

If you have been looking forward to the Guardians of the Galaxy animated series, we have some news at last. Disney XD has released the official poster for the series. It looks pretty awesome, no? I think I’ll check this one out. It should be a fun show.

The series will launch on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 9:30pm ET with two back-to-back episodes, but Disney XD will tease us first and get us all excited by airing the very first episode on Saturday, Sept. 5 at 9pm.

In addition, Disney will be playing a series of 10, two-minute shorts during August to whet our appetites in the mean time:

• Aug. 1: Star-Lord, Part 1 — 8:58 p.m. ET/PT; Part 2 — 10:28 p.m. ET/PT
• Aug. 8: Groot, Part 1 — 8:58 p.m. ET/PT; Part 2 — 9:58 p.m. ET/PT
• Aug. 15: Rocket Raccoon, Part 1 — 8:58 p.m. ET/PT; Part 2 — 9:58 p.m. ET/PT
• Aug. 22: Drax, Part 1 — 8:58 p.m. ET/PT; Part 2 — 9:58 p.m. ET/PT
• Aug. 29: Gamora, Part 1 — 8:58 p.m. ET/PT; Part 2 — 9:58 p.m. ET/PT
