Honestly, I don’t know where this came from or why its only airing in Australia on ABC3 but I’m sold on so many reasons.
- Black Panther is a solid Black Character and King of his nation. Marvel has a lot of black characters in their roster (I’m looking at you Rocket Racer) and its even more rare for one star in his own show.
- The Voice Talent: Djimon Hounsou voices Black Panther, king of the African nation of Wakanda. Along with T’challa’s family sister Shuri (Kerry Washington) and his wife Storm (Jill Scott.) How can you not love this collection of talent.
- Character designs are done by one of my favorite comic book artists, John Romita Jr. He’s a Marvel artists who’s been around for years and I’ve been following his work since I was in High School… many, many, moons ago.
Only downside to this is the show is only airing in Australia and has no US air date… Sigh. At least BET is involved so maybe it’ll come to the US eventually. Thinks about BET’s past…
