Recently we
reported about Morningstar Entertainment's upcoming (June 10th) release in Canada of
The Incredible Hulk - When Monsters Meet. This will be their second DVD version of a previously-released-on-VHS title with Marvel superheroes; the first is their May 6th release of
Spider-Man - The Mutant Agenda.
A key difference between those two items is that the Hulk title was part of the old Prism Video
"Marvel Comics Video Library", the 5th title in that old VHS line-up of cartoons featuring episodes from old animated series featuring Marvel super-heroes. Now Morningstar has given us word to expect 8 further DVD releases adapted from that old VHS lineup!
Two of the titles will be the 2nd and 7th volumes from that videotape series:
Meet Doctor Doom and
The Impossible Man. Both are named for episodes from the 1978 program
The New Fantastic Four. The DVD releases, like the VHS versions, will have bonus episodes from other shows. In these two cases,
The New Fantastic Four - Meet Doctor Doom will contain the "Cannon of Doom" episode from the 1981 version of
Spider-Man, and
The New Fantastic Four - The Impossible Man will contain two cartoons from the 1967 edition of
Spider-Man: "Spider-Man Meets Dr. Noah Boddy" and "The Fabulous Fakir".
Don't forget, these are aimed for sale at Canadian retailers, but will work in any standard DVD player in the USA if you import it. The cost, like on the previously announced
Spider-Man and
Hulk DVDs, is expected to be CA$14.98 SRP. A release date for these two has not yet been announced, but stay tuned and we'll provide it, and finalized full-sized art, as soon as we can. In the meantime, below you'll see a look at possible cover art for all eight of the as-yet unannounced titles:
