The 1966 Gantray-Lawrence Marvel Super-Heroes cartoons were a lesson in just how limited animation could get and still be able for worthwhile discussion here at SOTSM. Going off that we deemed motion comics as worthy topics for podcasting and thus we return to the Marvel universe and their Asgardian heroes.

Blood Brothers delivers Loki's perspective on the never-ending struggle against his sibling and adoptive parents, filled with pathos & tragedy and showing the complex motivations that led him down his villainous path. Esad Ribic's artwork is reverently handled with some subtle techniques employed to put it into motion while Robert Rodi's writing is brought to life by a talented cast of stage actors, David Blair as Loki being the standout performance. Warning: This podcast contains silly voices.

Man, what is with us and talking for so long about old badly made cartoons?  We should really be riding their asses hard and this time is no exception (up to a point). But just like Birdman the early animated incarnation of the Avengers has wormed its way into our hearts by sheer virtue of tripped out craziness, ham acting and killer theme tunes. Maybe that's the REAL Secret of the Sailor Madness (it's not). Enjoy in small doses, or better yet just listen to the audio. It works quite well!
