Inhumans Coming from Shout! Factory and Marvel Knights Animation

Posted on by

image003This Spring Shout! Factory and Marvel Knights Animation brings the Inhumans to DVD. The “motion comic” bridges the gap between comics and animated movies recreating and staying true to it’s source material. Marvel Knights Animation remains true to the heritage of panel-by-panel graphic storytelling, boasting groundbreaking illustrations, sensational soundscapes, and of course, the explosiveness of the Mighty Marvel Universe. Behind every image and every word lies the genius of Marvel’s celebrated creators. The story is based on material created by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee. The DVD hits shelves on April 23 and retails for $14.97.

The Inhumans have always been one of Marvel’s most enduring oddities. A race of genetic outsiders, they live secluded in their island kingdom of Attilan, preferring not to mix with the outside world. Even stranger, their genetic mutations are self-endowed; each Inhuman, as a coming-of-age ritual, endures exposure to the Terrigen Mists, a strange substance that imparts unearthly powers — some extraordinary, some monstrous.

But now the kingdom of Attilan is under attack from without and within. Can the Royal Family, led by Black Bolt, repel the foreign invaders who blast at their outer defense, as well as the internal threat of Black Bolt’s insane brother, Maximus the Mad?

Bonus features include a look back at the Inhumans with writer Paul Jenkins, Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada and Supervising Producer Kalia Cheng and the movie runs 132 minutes.
