BET is hosting a panel today at the SDCC featuring their new programming properties, including the highly anticipated Black Panther.

The trailer was shown. The actual scene from the show involved an African tribe attacking Wakanda. Working on the art on the series is John Romita, Jr. He also drew the first six issue of the recent series and that will be the basis of the first arc of the show, stretching over 8 episodes. Romita may be back to continue providing direction for the rest of the series.

BET approached Marvel with the idea for the Black Panther animated series. There was a lot of enthusiasm on both sides. The show will debut in February 2009.

Titmouse Productions in Los Angeles, the same company that does Metal-acolypse, provided the animation. Titmouse was given the actual comic book to recreate in animated form. Their directive was to match Romita's style of art.

This show will air in prime time, but a night has not been selected yet. It will probably be shown around 10pm.

BET also is creating a Hannibel animated series, produced by and starring the voice work of Vin Diesel, depicting the life of the warrior king in the ancient world. The show is taking efforts to make the stories historically accurate so that it can be used as a study guide for children.

The Iron Man animated series will have an episode with the Black Panther about mid-season.

Future Black Panther episodes will feature other interpretations of prior comic story arcs.
