According to Boyd Kirkland, part of the creative team of X-Men Evolution, after the long lull between releases we'll finally be seeing episodes from Season 3 coming to DVD. And not only that, they're going to release Season 3 as a complete season set instead of just releasing a few episodes at a time like they have for Season 1 and 2. What follows is a repost of his post that was reported on Comics2film.com. We can expect to see the Season 3 DVD Box Set released in May to tie-in with X-Men 3.

Jim Harvey: I hope Boyd doesn't mind but here's a recent post,concerning the next DVD release for X-Men:Evolution.

Boyd Kirkland: I was interviewed for this over a year ago, and discussed several of the things you're interested in. I believe they also did interviews with Craig Kyle and Greg Johnson, as well as Steve Gordon. They also have additional material from earlier interviews and production art etc. that hasn't been seen yet, but I don't know if they intend to use any of it. And to answer an earlier post, I've told that season 3 will be released as a set.

FYI: X-Men Evoltion: Season 3 consisted of the following episodes. Warning: The Following Synopsis contain Spoilers. The only question is whether they'll release the full season, or hold back a few to try to even up the Season 4 set. Since there was only 9 episodes in Season 4 compared to 13 in Season 3.

Good news.

Will they revisit 1 and 2 for full sets, a la Teen Titans (got singles, no Feb is seeing a set release)?

This would be nice alongside the 90s cartoon for X3 in May!

[Jim Harvey]

We have no concrete idea what WHV's plans are, except for what Mr. Kirkland said. Personally, I'd love to see the first two seasons re-released into "season sets." My snapper cases are already warping.

[Robert Floto]

I'd buy this if the first two seasons were released in sets. Otherwise it just takes up too much precious space on my shelves...

[Beast]

The release has now been officially confirmed.

Mike, would you mind removing the body of the news item from your post? We've updated the news on the site (which is one of the reasons we ask people not to copy/paste the text into forums).

Done and Done. Sorry about that, Chief.

I'll start buying X-Men dvd's when the actual animated series shows up, not Evolution. I can't belive we're not seeing this around X3 time. What a stupid move not to release it for then.

[Brian-C]

I buy season sets only, none of these individual releases. I hate individual releases, because then you have to track them all down, sometimes you cannot find them, and you are missing a few, so you can never complete a series. Costs more money too.

It's good that season 3 is full, but without 1 and 2 being full releases, what's the point?

And yes, I am still waiting for the early 90s Xmen series as well, I hope they get smart and release it as full seasons, if they ever release them. If not, they lose potential customers.

[Patrick Senatro]

Would love to get the 90's X-Men in season sets, but I am not holding my breath. I would also love to see the 90's Spider-Man in season sets.
