Continuing the saga of the ASTONISHING X-MEN, comic book pages come alive when Shout! Factory, in association with Marvel Knights Animation, debut the highly anticipated Marvel Knights Animation ASTONISHING X-MEN: DANGEROUS on DVD, April 10, 2012. The highly popular “Dangerous” storyline and eye-popping visuals from the graphic novel by pop culture icons Joss Whedon and John Cassaday combine smart story telling, incredible action, and startling revelations in the second story arc of the acclaimed ASTONISHING X-MEN multi-part series. This DVD invites viewers to delve deep inside the imaginative world of the Marvel Universe. A must have for collectors and loyal fans, this deluxe DVD is featured with a graphic rich cover and a unique replica of comic book-style packaging that bridges the comic book to DVD concept.

    Synopsis: The tragic death of a student at the Xavier Institute reveals that a powerful enemy is working from inside the mansion to destroy the X-Men.  It’s an enemy who knows all their weaknesses and can predict their every move.  This new foe doesn’t want wealth, power or world domination – it only wants them dead.  As the X-Men fight for their lives, they learn they’ve been deceived by one of their own.  Even if they survive, the team will never be the same.

      So… I don’t get it. Is this a Animated feature (like the upcoming JL:Doom) or a Motion Comic… cause those generally suck.

      This is one area Marvel drops the ball. It’s awesome that they have a great feature film “Avenger Initiative”, but their Animation (both serial and feature) are not on par with the quality DC has been churning out for the better part of a decade.

        u said it, DC’s animated releases are better but i did enjoy buying marvel’s animated dvds as well but now it seems they aren’t doing anymore as it’s been a while since they put out anything new or announced that they are working on something new. thor son of asgard was their last release. motion comics do suck.
