For those who are dealing with the wait between “Thor” on DVD and Blu-ray and the theatrical release of “The Avengers,” Marvel Knights Animation and Shout! Factory is releasing “Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers” on DVD September 13.
The film is inspired by the acclaimed graphic novel from Robert Rodi and Esad Ribic. The film, according to the press release, “takes a powerful look inside the minds of Thor and Loki, two adversarial brothers in the mystical land of Asgard and seemingly forever enemies. But just why does Loki hate his brother Thor? And could it be that this master of mischief isn’t really the villain he’s been branded? Loki’s insatiable lust for power and his feud with Thor take on a new meaning in this resonant epic.” The full synopsis is:
The great halls of Asgard have fallen silent since a new king has overtaken the throne. His name is Loki, son of almighty Odin, brother to the Thunder God, Thor. Once a powerful trickster–the God of Mischief–Loki now rules a grand kingdom with little regard for its subjects. His only thoughts are focused inward, toward the origins of his own pain and suffering. To quell his torment and to gain the respect he feels he so rightfully deserves, Loki must now execute the prisoner chained deep within the dungeons of Asgard, the one man who has ever shown him love. His own brother.
Special features include an exclusive look with writer Rodi and Ribic as well as a behind-the-scenes look at “Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers.” You can buy “Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers” for $14.97.
