Comic book DVDs

DSN Retailing Today, August 16, 2004

Marvel Enterprises and Lion's Gate Entertainment will put a new spin on the synergy between movies and comic books with the Sept. 7 DVD release of "The Punisher." The DVD will come with a 28-page mini-comic book from Marvel that provides the back-story for the film starring John Travolta and Thomas Jane.

"The Punisher" will be the first of several comic book-themed films due for release in the fourth quarter. "Spider-Man 2" and "Shrek 2" will arrive in time for the holidays and both are expected to challenge the all-time DVD sales record of 21 million units set by "Finding Nemo" earlier this year. The new film version of "Cat-woman" starring Halle Barry and based on the DC Comics series is also expected to arrive before Christmas.
