Thor, Green Lantern, Captain America, Cowboys & Aliens.

Yeah, I got all that. But did you know there's another comic book movie coming out this year that should be worth checking out?

This one's an animated feature called Gene-Fusion.

It's based on the comic book by Jeff Amano (Red Warrior) that was written by Ivan Brandon (Doc Savage), and illustrated by Neil Vokes (Dr. Strange) and Jay Geldhof (Grendel).

Here's the pitch from the press release: "In the year 2310, a new sport, Gene-Fusion, is all the rage… specially-trained athletes, called Fusers, design their own super-creature by combining three forms of animal DNA..."

Against that backdrop, four teens become Fusers only to find themselves part of a greater conspiracy that threatens the Earth.

Gene-Fusion was directed by François Brisson (Cinar's  Les Exploits D'Arsene Lupin), written by Gabriel Benson (The Ballad Of Sleeping Beauty, Fade From Grace) and produced by Shaun McLaughlin (Batman Beyond, Justice League Unlimited and creator of Cheapjack Shakespeare).

Voice work in the film is from Nicolas Canuel, Mark William Hauser, Kaniehtiio Horn and Alison Louder.

The animated sci-fi feature will debut from MTI Home Video on DVD, VOD and Digital Download on May 10, 2011.
