Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers Due on DVD September 13

Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers is the newest Marvel Knights animation/motion comic project, first released online earlier this year. Based on the trailer, I found it a major step forward for the fledgling medium.

Now comes word that the short series will be available on DVD on September 13. List price is $14.97 (although you can already find it much less than that) for four episodes. Note that each ran over 15 minutes, for a total running time about 72 minutes. Special features include the trailer; a behind-the-scenes; and “an exclusive look back with writer Robert Rodi and artist Esad Ribic”.

The story gives Loki some depth, explaining his hatred of Thor and lust for power. Loki has taken over the throne of Asgard and plans to execute Thor, his prisoner. Here’s a trailer:
