IGN Comics have revealed a pile of information about the forthcoming release of the Black Panther on DVD, in a six episode series that stars Djimon Hounsou as Black Panther; Jill Scott as Storm; Kerry Washington as Princess Shuri; Alfre Woodard as both Dondi Reese and Queen Mother; Carl Lumbly as Uncle S'Yan; and the living legend himself, Stan Lee, as General Wallace.
Here is the official synopsis:
"Deep in the heart of Africa lies Wakanda, an advanced and unconquerable civilization. A family of warrior-kings possessing superior speed, strength and agility has governed this mysterious nation as long as time itself. The latest in this famed line is young King T'Challa, the great hero known worldwide as the Black Panther."
"Now, outsiders once again threaten to invade and plunder Wakanda. Leading this brutal assault is Klaw, a deadly assassin with the blood of T'Challa's murdered father on his hands, who brings with him a strong army of super-powered mercenaries. Even with Wakanda's might and his own superhuman skills, can the Black Panther prevail against this deadly invading force?"
And here are the bonus features which will be included in the set:

The DVD will retail at $14.97 and comes packed with a unique replica of comic book-style plastic sleeve packaging that "bridges the comic book to DVD concept." It's set to be released on January 18, 2011.
