Marvel Knights Animation’s Wolverine: Origin Out July 9

image003There’s more than one Wolverine movie coming out this summer. Marvel Knights Animation’s Wolverine: Origin debuts this July 9 from Shout! Factory. The movie is written by Paul Jenkins from a story by Joe Quesada, Jenkins and Bill Jemas and featured artwork by Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove.

The DVD is priced at $14.97 (and cheaper), runs about 66 minutes and you can pre-order now.

Wolverine is the best there is at what he does – although of course, what he does isn’t very nice. But long before he was a member of the X-Men, a tormented experiment of the Weapon-X project, or even a savage bar brawler known as Logan – he was simply a young boy.

What incredible forces created this man, the world’s greatest killing machine? For years, Wolverine has searched desperately for answers from his past, from the wilds of the Canadian Wilderness to the teeming cities of Japan and beyond. And despite his perseverance and longing for the truth, he remains an enigma to himself and those around him. But, in this landmark event, Marvel reveals all: the birth and childhood of young James Howlett…the intriguing secrets of his family history…and the tragedy that changed everything.

Welcome to the greatest story never told.

Exclusive behind-the-scenes bonus content features interviews with the creators and illustrators to provide an intimate and retrospective look at the development and production process of this amazing story. 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.

Inhumans Coming from Shout! Factory and Marvel Knights Animation

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.
