Editorial Reviews

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.

Adapted from the acclaimed miniseries Loki, from Robert Rodi and Esad Ribic, Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers takes a powerful look inside the minds of two legendary nemeses, shedding light, like never before, on the depths of Thor and Loki’s hatred, and love, for one another

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great example of an emerging medium, July 9, 2011

This review is from: Marvel Knights: Thor & Loki Blood Brothers (DVD)

I have been aware of motion comics for a few years now, mostly from the Watchmen motion comic put together when that film came out. Like a lot of people, I was really put off by it. It wasn't good. Didn't do justice to the story and it didn't do justice to the comics medium. My thought was "why does this exist?" The answer seemed to be it existed as an alternative to the "effort" of reading.

This is the prejudice I carried as other motion comics appeared as tie ins for shows like Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Inception, and Sucker Punch. These grew a little better, but I wasn't moved.

That is not until a few months ago when I saw other Marvel and DC efforts with motion comics. I got really excited and began seeing the possibilities for motion comics as a genre. I believe the first one to really get me was IRON MAN: Extremis.

After that, I devoured everything else I could find, going from X-Men: Gifted to the Spider-Woman motion comic to Thor & Loki when that appeared on i-Tunes. There were also some black and white Batman motion comics as well as some for Batgirl that were less inspiring but still excellent.

However my excitment still lies chiefly with the Marvel efforts because they were the most involved, the most exciting and atmospheric. Textured. Artistic. All of those descriptions come together in the drama Thor & Loki, which finally produces Motion Comics' first strong DRAMA. It's worth a look.

And I truly hope readers share my excitement and help support the medium, as I think it is and will be the most supportive and respectful to comic artists and painters that is likely to come along bridging the gap to video screens.

It certainly shows the potential for artists who wish to produce pictorial or photographic narratives.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst comic strip movie., December 26, 2011

Great art but horrible plot. It didn't develop the story enough as to how Loki defeated and captured Thor. Loki is cast as weaker, smaller, and much older than Thor. The entire production is a close up of Loki talking as if he is in a Renaissance Fair. The dialog was so bad that at one point Loki and Thor's mother Frigga discuss how she didn't breastfeed him. She tells him she couldn't. Then they discuss how she is not his mother. She refers to Odin as his father and Loki responds that if she is not his mother then Odin cannot be his father. Which we all know that just because Frigga is not the mother doesn't mean Odin can't be the father. I felt like someone in High School wrote the dialog as it was poorly written and boring.

This review is from: Marvel Knights: Thor & Loki Blood Brothers (DVD)

Somewhere in a storytelling universe where writer's know that stories should have a beginning, a middle and an ending this video book is a top seller. Unfortunately we are not in that universe. While I do not need for the author to give me every minute detail of the story, important story events should not be glanced over like the seeds at the bottom of the popcorn bag. Question from the begining "How does Loki defeat Thor?" It is hinted that he had help but for whom and how? Question from the middle "How does Loki defeat Thor's powerful friends and Odin?" Question from the ending "How does Thor defeat Loki with such ease at the end?" Mr. Thorn please before you take up the challenge of writing a story about a great classical hero again start with a less evolved character like Donald Duck. My follow comic book lovers save your money, this one is a 1/2 star.
