Wildcats the complete series DVD is great! Jim Lee's WildCats the complete series is a great buy! You get 13 episodes of WildCats: Season 1 on a 2-disc set! This is the first and only season of WildCats: covert action teams. That's why it's called WildCats the complete series! There are some great extras on the DVDs! There is a 25-minute interview with comic book legend, Jim Lee! There is a Jim Lee profile,extras related to WildCats cartoon series which aired on TV in 1997. Jim Lee is my favorite comic book artist, so getting this was a no-brainer! I highly recommend this DVD set!

So, are there obvious similarities to the X-Men? Sure! Was the animation sometimes suspect? Yes! Was there cheesy dialogue and humorous rallying cries (My favorite: Grifter's "Full nitro! Let's make toast!")? Absolutely! But is it an animated series worth the price? You bet!
WildC.A.T.s was different in that it had a continuing story that kept you hooked from week to week. Only small details of "the orb" were revealed in each episode, so you had to keep tuning in to get the whole picture.
Also, I have to say that the romantic storyline between Grifter and Zealot had me tuning in too (Hey. Every superhero cartoon has to have one.). And as much as I love Cyclops and Jean, their cartoon storyline had nothing on this one (the comic is another story). Grifter and Zealot's big moment in "M.V.P." is, in my opinion, one of the most romantic moments I've ever seen on television (Hope that doesn't scare the guys away from buying this.).
If you like superhero cartoons, you'll want to check this one out.

Was just as I remember it from the TV series, fun and follows the comic a bit also. The animation is good, not great, but good for it's time and budget. A must have for all those WildCATS fans :)

Yowsah, yowsah, I couldn't believe I found this!!! Jim Lee's XMen...er, Wild C.A.T.S. was an underrated series with one of the best theme songs in cartoon history. XMen may have been a better comic book cartoon but Wild C.A.T.S. had the better theme song. Spartan, Grifter and Zealot were incredible but I didn't like how they family-ized Voodoo's stripper background. Would have loved to see an appearance from Stormwatch or Gen 13 but hey, to get a full complement of episodes was wonderful to me. My kids won't get it but this is the perfect series to complement your Justice league, XMen: Evolution and Batman cartoon collections.

Holy cow this is so exciting! I remember this cartoon from when it came on and it rocks. At first, I did not know that it was based off of Jim Lee's ultracool Wildstorm comic book by the same name, but upon seeing how much fun this cartoon was I quickly fell in love with the comics. Jim Lee has been arguably the most important comic artist of the last 20 years, and this TV show demonstrates why: an amazing ability to craft fun, inventive story lines with cool, original characters. Yes, there are resemblences to Jim's early work on the X-Men, but that similarity is largely due to the fact that almost every modern superhero team owes some due to the X-Men.

This cartoon is a load of fun as are the comics and I'm so excited that they are releasing it on DVD. Thanks!!!

It doesn't list it here. But this DVD set has an interview with Jim Lee on it that I've heard is pretty good. I'd picking it up just for that. WildC.A.T.S was a great show. I'm glad its coming out on DVD.

I remember this show from when I was a teen and I LOVED it! These characters are NOT clones of any X-men characters.

I have issue with the concept that now that X-men exists any character who happens to be psychic is a Jean Gray clone, or any character with an attitude is therefore a Logan clone.

X-men does not have a monopoly on these types of characteristics. If so, then every red head ever created in the future would be compared, even if she were completely different in every other way!

It's been a decade since I've seen this show, but as memory serves me they were mostly an alien race that has been here for a long time after thier craft crashed here along with another craft they were battling with. The other race is kinda ugly and very evil and they fight them to protect man kind because they've not assimilated into our life style. I remember that there are two couples on the show. One of them is the big guy with the petite blue haired girl who is telekenetic. The white haired chick and the human guy with the bandana over his face are also a semi-couple. They were the "will they or won't they" couple. They had a leader who was as I remember it a big corporate giant and who ran them as an underground group. There is a computer/AI character who reminded me of Synergie from Jem, concept wise, but character wise compeletely different.

Ok, so those are my vague memories! I can't wait for the DVD, it'll be great!

Glad this underrated and near-forgotten show got a DVD release. I enjoyed this show on saturday morning's, a neat alternative to the 90's X-Men toon. Back in the day i thought the theme song was really cool&catchy and still do today, beats out the 90's X-Men intro. Suprised ONLY 13 episodes were made.

This DVD release is good. Menus are not animated at all, your standard still frames but that is not a bad thing. Quality-Wise its like high-quality VHS copies were put onto the discs, Very nice, but still lacks the vibrate,Spiffy DVD-quality treatment. Extras are alright with character bios and a interview with Jim Lee. Overall, sweet release that was long overdue with this show.

This CBS cartoon, based on the Image Comics characters created by Jim Lee, failed to topple the X-Men bandwagon. I still enjoyed it because I never really read comics. Therefore, I had nothing to compare it to while watching it. It had a lot of action and a decent but confusing storyline about a good-guy group called the Coda battling evil aliens called Daemonites.

I remembered this as one of the best animated comic books I had seen on TV when I was a kid. I just happened to come across it on the web and decited to get it. All the extras was great, The only problem I had was the 1st disc didn't want to play on my DVD player but I sent it back with no problems and got another one the next day If you are a die hard Wild CATS fan of the comics you might notice some changes in the charecters backgrounds but as for me I saw the cartoon first and then read the comics.
