The ? of Thunder arrives on DVD and Blu-ray.


We're excited to be the first to report the official details on the release of Thor: Tales of Asgard, an original animated adventure coming to Blu-ray combo pack, DVD, digital download and on demand from Marvel Animation and Lionsgate Home Entertainment. Following up the May release of the live-action theatrical feature Thor, Tales of Asgard will be released on May 17, 2011. Packed with special features like audio commentaries with the creators, a "making-of" featurette and a bonus TV episode of The Avengers, Thor: Tales of Asgard will come to Blu-ray combo pack and DVD for the suggested retail prices of $29.99 and $19.98, respectively.

The story will go back to Thor's earlier years, before he ever lifted his mighty hammer. It follows the upstart ? 's quest for the legendary Lost Sword of Surtur. To help in the search, Thor teams up with his loyal brother Loki, a budding sorcerer with a knack for conjuring up trouble, and the fabled Warriors Three, a band of boastful travelers. But what starts out as a harmless treasure hunt quickly turns deadly, and Thor must now prove himself worthy of his destiny by saving Asgard itself.

Here are the details we have on the special features (subject to change, of course):
  • Audio commentary with Supervising Producer Craig Kyle and Screenwriter Greg Johnson
  • Audio commentary with Supervising Director Gary Hartle, Animation Director Sam Liu and Character Designer Phil Bourassa
  • "Worthy: The Making of Thor: Tales of Asgard" featurette
  • The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Bonus Episode from the new hit TV series
And finally, here's your first look at the DVD and Blu-ray box art:
