The motion comic version of Astonishing X-Men: Gifted first came out in September 2010, with Dangerous following last month.

Astonishing X-Men: Dangerous

The Marvel Knights line of motion comic DVDs releases its first sequel, with Astonishing X-Men: Dangerous set following the events of Astonishing X-Men: Gifted, the first title released.

Marvel Knights Motion Comics Continue With Astonishing X-Men: Dangerous

I guess there wasn’t an appropriate Avengers story to put out for the movie … Marvel has announced that the next release in the Marvel Knights line of motion comics will be Astonishing X-Men: Dangerous. This is a return to the characters from the first entry in the Shout! Factory DVD series, which was Astonishing X-Men: Gifted. Since then, there’s been Iron Man: Extremis, Black Panther, Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D., and Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers. Astonishing X-Men: Dangerous is […]

Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers

Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers, the latest Marvel Knights Animation motion comic, came out earlier this week on DVD. The four-episode story was originally released online last spring. Loki (voiced by David Blair) has taken over as King of Asgard, imprisoning his brother Thor (Daniel Thorn), and the story consists of his interior and exterior monologuing. He ponders his role now and flashes back every so often to moments from his childhood where he was downtrodden. People talk a lot […]

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.

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 […]

Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D.

The latest in the line of Marvel motion comics available on DVD — and, for the first time, on Blu-ray — is Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D., out this Tuesday. This one’s a little different, since it was originally created for the motion comic format (instead of being in print first) by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev and released on iTunes in 2009. That makes it older than previous DVDs in this series. And that’s obvious, from the higher percentage […]

Marvel Motion Comics Come to Blu-Ray

In conjunction with the release of the Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D. motion comic DVD on June 14, Shout! Factory has announced a Blu-ray release, exclusive to Best Buy. The “special edition” pairs the material from the Spider-Woman DVD with the previously released Iron Man: Extremis. At the time of this writing, Best Buy doesn’t have a listing for the Blu-ray, so I don’t know what the price is expected to be. The regular DVD has a suggested price of $14.97, […]
