The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
No teasers in that title, eh? I debated back and forth in my mind, searching for some crafty heading for an article on the most recent Marvel Comics film. After wrestling with a few ideas, I said heck with it. Just call it like it is. I was amped sitting in my theater seat watching this […]
Serving as a warm-up and placeholder for the upcoming Avengers movie, The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes airs on the Disney XD channel and has now been released on DVD. This action-packed superhero series features Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Ant-Man, Wasp, Black Panther, Nick Fury, and The Hulk. There’s also appearances from […]
It’s official! More of the casting for Marvel’s upcoming X-Men: First Class has been solidified with some names you may recognize, paving the way for the next mutant free-for-all. Fans are ready, though some with warranted skepticism, for this next installment in the series which will actually serve as a prequel in the X-Men movie storyline. […]
Another Comic-Con is in the history books as Sunday saw the big event wind down and come to a close. Before the staff of Why So Blu packed their bags and were on their way, there was still time to gather last minute pieces of information. For all you Spider-Man readers out there, I have […]
A place to sit is a much sought after item in the large Hall H of the San Diego Convention Center. The reason for this is due to the fact that this hallowed hall is where all the big budget films introduce their cast and trailers. Saturday saw the likes of some highly anticipated titles […]
The Marvel universe has seen some tumultuous times in recent years, which have spurned book sales to atmospheric levels. Our heroes have been revealed, kidnapped, and nearly killed. The Siege was ground-breaking, literally, and has come to a monumental conclusion. With Norman Osborne falling from his plateau of power and the (Dark) Avengers rounded up, […]
I thought this was a pretty cool article/press release I received from my friends over at Spike TV and I thought it would fit in nicely here on the site and maybe…just maybe…it would even provoke a little bit of conversation/debate on the subject. Who needs another Hollywood super hero sequel when there are so […]
The time is ticking down as we approach yet another national Free Comic Book Day. What is it, you might ask? Exactly what the name states. Well, let’s clarify that. You don’t get to walk off with just anything off the shelf. Publishers from the big players such as Marvel and DC all the way […]
Marvel’s Elektra sparkles on Blu-ray this May. Or at least I hope it does. I have to admit, as much as a let down as this movie initially was, it’s still a guilty pleasure of mine. Jennifer Garner looks hot reprising her role as Elektra and the inclusion of this being a Director’s Cut on […]
Back in the early 90’s, several comic book companies were trying to secure their foothold in the industry. Comics were selling, but not necessarily at the volume they are today. The aggressive onslaught of comic book movies has only helped this surge in book sales, but twenty years ago, Marvel, Dark Horse, and DC didn’t […]
Marvel has woven quite the tale this time. Siege is the latest all-encompassing mini-series that Marvel has unleashed upon the public. It is spawned from the Dark Reign storyline which enveloped just about every title under the Marvel sun. This was in turn birthed from the Secret Invasion series and we can even go further […]
The creative team (consisting of writer Rick Remender and comic book artist Tony Moore) that brought us the very cool Fear Agent from Dark Horse Comics is back, and this time they’ve taken Frank Castle, The Punisher, in a direction you’d never thought you’d see. In fact, here’s the conversation I imagine Rick Remender had […]
Planet Hulk is a storyline that Marvel Comics explored in 2006. The premise of the story deals with the Marvel heroes’ decision to send the destructive Hulk far away from planet Earth. But just where is he banished to? Will he get his revenge on Earth? Will he survive on a new planet full of […]
From the strikingly different covers that grace these three issues (Paul Pope on issue one, Peter Bagge on issue two, and Stan Sakai on issue three) you know immediately that these aren’t going to be your normal Marvel comics, let alone normal superhero fare. Taking a page from DC Comics’ Bizarro Comics, Marvel enlisted an […]
I still have the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance for my old Xbox. Man, I had a blast with that game. Though it wasn’t completely original (there were some X-Men games before it that used a similar format), it was loads of fun and eclipsed those X-Men games in every possible aspect of fun. However, as […]
On the final day of this year’s Comic Con was the Women of Marvel panel. No, Rogue and She-Hulk were not present. These were the talented women that work at Marvel who assemble a wide array of those stories we love to read. Panelists included (but were not limited to) editor Jen Grünwald, colorist-extraordinaire Laura […]
