Cold Space is a new comic book series co-written by Samuel L Jackson and Eric Calderon drawn by Jeremy Rock, to be published in April by Boom! Studios. Jackson and Calderon have previously worked on the Afro Samurai animation but this is their first comic book together. And the central character, an on-the-run-outlaw crashlanded on a planet in the middle of a civil war, is modelled on Samuel L Jackson himself. Is a TV series/movie franchise in the offing here? Samuel Jackson was the art-model for Nick Fury in the Ultimates comic book, which saw him cast in the role for Iron Man, Hulk and upcoming Thor and Avengers movies. Bleeding Cool recently broke the story of Vinnie Jones doing this with Howard Chaykin, for the Noble comic book/TV series, who is next?
Australia got this first, not sure why, maybw atest market to see if it will fly in the U.S. Supposedly this is supposed to be airing on BET as there first animated program ever but haven;t been able to find any concrete info on it though. I have been waiting on this for some time ever since they announced it back in San Diego Comic Convention back in 2008. but we snagged the opening intro for the series check it out below.
The series is written and co-produced by Reginald Hudlin, and premiered this month on Australian children's channel ABC3. Djimon Hounsou voices Black Panther, king of the African nation of Wakanda.
Comics fans will certainly appreciate the John Romita Jr. art used in the intro (or at least, it sure looks like Romita's art) from the "Who Is the Black Panther?" story arc authored by Hudlin and Romita.
Along with Hounsou as T'Challa, Stan Lee provides the voice of General Wallace, JB Blanc voices The Black Knight and (wait for it...) Batroc, Kerry Washington voices Princess Shuri and Jill Scott provides the voice of X-Men member Storm.
