I thought this series was excellent! When is it coming to TV or DVD? Great storyline, great use of the motion comic animation style (using John Romita's artwork), GREAT choice in the voice actors. I can't wait to see what they do with this series next!
They need to adapt this into a movie, using the voice talent as the actors. Djimon Hounsou?! Kerry Washington? Jill Scott?! This is cinematic gold!
I have never seen an animated series like this. Way to go, Reginald & Co.!
This needs to be on TV somewhere -- BET (I'm guessing they helped develop it from the production credits) or Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.
WOW. That was great. Google it!

I wasn't crazy about the static animation at first, but it looks like a very good series so far. Good acting;except for the guy playing captain America, and its a pretty cool,slick show altogether. A good story following the classic story line, but updated to current events. It's nice to see a more adult oriented animated series as well, with realistic action and political views. Good action, a little bit of blood and violence without overdoing it. Some interesting crossovers as well a good mix of villains and hero's. The marvel universe is very well represented by this work. I love the representation of a strong, independent, advanced African nation.
This is the best superhero feature, animated or live-action, that I've seen in years. Though presented as six TV episodes, it's all one story...and what a story! A beautifully complex narrative of stories-within-stories ranges over vast time and space to convey the myth of Wakanda, the untouchable warrior kingdom of Africa, and its hereditary leader, the Black Panther, even as the present-day story steadily builds to a gripping final half, with Wakanda under attack by enemies on all sides. Along for this roller-coaster ride: Storm and the X-Men, Juggernaut, The Black Knight, Captain America, a scary Condoleezza-alike, and even President O himself.
The politics here will be controversial; this is an intelligent, funny, highly nuanced attack on imperialism of all stripes, from the White House to the Vatican. (So far as I can tell, although this was produced by BET/Viacom, it never seems to have actually aired on BET, and I'm betting the reason is the politics. I'd love to know the full story about this.)
The artwork is terrific, and the presentation is somewhere between regular animation and a highly evolved motion comic. I found the effect always interesting, sometimes awesome.
This movie kept me on the edge of my seat every minute. Superb!

For a series that sets it self apart so distinctly from other superhero cartoons, this was excellently done. I found the art style to be a different approach than the typically style. However, the strong storytelling and placement of Black Panther in the Marvel Universe was spectacular. What stands out most in this classic story is not Black Panther himself, but the Civilization and people of Wakanda. This is a story about a people never conquered that maintained in cultural heritage while developing advanced technology. This is the dream of many people who have been separated from their home, to have never been separated and stood strong in the midst of oncoming assaults, even if the charge is led by Captain America. I was sad there was only 6 episodes. All I wanted was more.
Very decent and engaging Marvel Knights. If you're a Panther fan or a marvel knight enjoyer this will be a likeable show.

- TriviaIn a last minute decision, the Juggernaut replaced the Rhino in the show. The Rhino was in the original comic book mini-series which made the scene of the Juggernaut vs a black rhino very strange in episode 5.
