Nebiroth, Liberation has February 2009 as the projected release for Spider-Woman.

The Incredible Hulk competition on the website has now come to a close, congratulations to all the winners. A new Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends competition is now up on the website, giving you the chance to win a copy of the Complete Season 1 on DVD.
coming soon

Look out for the exclusive HMV edition of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Complete Seasons 2 & 3 which includes the next 4 collectors art cards. The Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Season 1 DVD with the exclusive art cards is available now at HMV.

We’ve made a few changes to the release dates of some of the November titles. The following DVD’s will now be released in the UK on 17th November:

Hulk Complete Season 2 (1996)
Hulk Complete Box Set (1996)
X-Men Season 2, Volume 2
X-Men Complete seasons 1 & 2 Box Set

Many of you have been asking about further Spider-Man releases. There are many more planned for 2009, these include the early 1980’s series Spider-Man 5000*, the mid 1990’s series New Spider-Man and also the late 1990’s series Spider-Man Unlimited

The adventure continues…

Classic Marvel Super Heroes. On DVD NOW!

*They incorrectly included "5000" in the title. Apparently they don't know that it is the original production number that identified the show for Marvel Productions own records and NOT the actual name of the show for the public. (Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends was production number "6000".)

Re: Spider-man & His Amazing Friends

Play.com has now completely removed listings for spiderman and his amazing friends season 2 and 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They also deleted listing incredible hulk 1982!!!!!!!! I hope these arent totally cancelled, and it being a case of just a release date change.

Re: Spider-man & His Amazing Friends

I just did a google search for liberation entertainment uk closes.It seems the company has shut down !!!!! This is just terrible,It seems the 1982 Hulk cartoon will never catch a break.This was probably the only shot the cartoon ever had at being released.I suggest to anyone who hasnt bought their copy of spiderman and his amazing friends season 1 , to do so quickly , because it will probably go out of print soon.

Liberation Ent. closes U.K. division

I got the news too, Tony. The article states that Liberation closed it's UK division. It's only a glimmer of hope, but I'm praying that their US division can handle the UK releases. Like you said though, anybody that didn't buy the season 1 release needs to go get it ASAP.

Amazon is usually a good bit slower at updating their information. Eventually they'll let you know it was cancelled. Can't hurt to wait and hear from them though.

Someone at the Toonzone boards contacted Revelation Films and was told that they are releasing the Marvel Cartoons. No other information was available.

I wouldn't put too much faith in those release dates, Tony....but at least we know they will be coming out eventually!

Re: Spider-man & His Amazing Friends

It is not unusual for Amazon, as probably the largest and certainly the most well known, online store to be given advance information over the smaller stores.

Ironically, Amazon are very slow to update when things get deleted (as recently, they were one of the last to show the Marvel titles as not being released after Liberation were sold), but they are quite often the first site to carry release dates, cover art, etc.

The downside is that such information is sometimes more rumour than fact, as proves to be incorrect.

Re: Spider-man & His Amazing Friends

It looks as though the deal with Revelation has fallen through: I got this email from a contact today:

I have just received the following update with regards to the Revelation Films/Marvel situation.

Revelation Films will only be distributing the Marvel titles on a temporary basis until a permanent UK partner is found. Unfortunately, at this time we have no further information and all future enquiries should be directed to Jetix.

Many thanks for your patience.


I assume this to mean, that Revelation will simply be distributing the stock of already released titles, but nothing further.

I guess it's a casualty of the global financial situation, but its a damn shame - six months more and Liberation would have done most of it.

That's what I assume too. Which means that this is a limited stock. You'd better buy any existing titles you want PRONTO!

Re: Spider-man & His Amazing Friends

..and it looks as though a company called Clear Vision has picked up some of the range. They are listing

Re-issues of X-Men Seasons One and Two plus a forthcoming Season Three
Silver Surfer
Re-issues of Spider-Man (1990's) Seasons One and Two
Spider Woman
Fantastic Four (1990's) Seasons One and Two

Clear Vision Videos

Kudos to them for retaining the same package design, so that people who already had say X-Men won;t have to buy new copies of the early volumes

Looks as though they havn't picked up titles which saw a release by Liberation (such as Amazing Friends) unless it had only got started and then dried up (like X-Men)

No sign of any of the Hulk titles though

Re: Spider-man & His Amazing Friends

I'm hopeful that since the 90s X-Men releases by Disney were so successful in the U.S. that we might get region 1 DVD sets of Spider-man 90s, as well. Still no word on a complete 90s Hulk DVD set though, huh?
