Marvel’s Black Panther on DVD at last!
It’s been a long time coming, but Marvel’s Black Panther animated series is finally coming to DVD, as Marvel.com reports. Footage from the series was teased back when the Incredible Hulk came out on DVD, as we talked about in October 2008. BET’s colllaboration was the subject of a panel devoted solely to the Black Panther at NYCC as reported in January 2009. And of course we were all excited to hear that the Black Panther would finally be airing, albeit in Australia, back in January 2010, almost a full year ago.
Now we can bring this turbulent ride to a close on January 18, 2011, when “Marvel Knights Animation: Black Panther” is officially released, with such “extensive” features as:”Looking Back at Black Panther with Reginald Hudlin”, “Exclusive Music Video”, and “Trailers”
Black Panther Finally Airing!
It’s the show everyone’s known about, but nobody’s been able to see, and finally, the animated Black Panther gets to air! Unfortunately, it’s down in Australia, but still. Here’s Marvel’s rundown of the upcoming episodes:
Episode 1: Jan 16 at 8.15pm on ABC3 in Australia
