Two major Marvel franchises that both suffered from recent short-lived TV series are moving to Japan. While X-Men lives on with Twentieth Century Fox’s growing film franchise, Blade is suffering from its lead movie star serving prison time. Both however, are preparing for an introduction in Japan as new anime programs.

Animax, a division of Sony dedicated to anime TV shows, is already hitting it big with Iron Man and Wolverine series and is now looking to add two more with Blade and X-Men, both of which were announced at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year. The logos for each series were just released.

The Iron Man and Wolverine programs both spawned out of the successes of the Iron Man and X-Men Origins: Wolverine feature films. With X-Men: ...

Joe Quesada Talks Marvel Television Opportunities

With the earth-shattering news last year of Disney acquiring Marvel, many wondered what opportunities such a merger would open doors to for the powerhouse comic publisher. Disney’s empire spans across many mediums including that of television with networks such as ABC for which the Marvel brand could – and will – take advantage of.

Earlier this summer, Marvel Entertainment launched a new division specific to television to be headed up by comic industry veteran Jeph Loeb and Marvel exec Dan Buckly. The new division would handle projects such as cartoons, straight-to-DVD features and what everyone would love to see one day, live-action Marvel television programs.

Back at San Diego Comic-Con, MTV asked Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada about their new-found situation under the ownership of Disney and how ...

Marvel will oversee any future television projects that involve its many lucrative characters and franchises via a new division, which has been appropriately dubbed “Marvel Television.”

The top dog that will run this new section of Marvel Entertainment will be none other than Jeph Loeb, an Eisner award-winning graphic novelist who has left his mark on both the comic book and TV industries.

Dan Buckly – Marvel’s publisher and president of print, animation and digital division – will work with Loeb in the new TV division as well. The two will be involved in any animated or live-action TV projects that come to fruition in the future, as well as all direct-to-DVD ventures.

Marvel continues to shape itself into quite the entertainment powerhouse with this move, as several of its properties – Spider-Man and

‘Hulk vs’ Blu-ray Review

Heath McKnight — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 20:33:38 +0000

Short Version: I really enjoy the Marvel Studios/Lionsgate animated films, and the latest is fun, but it begs the question: can there be too much Hulk vs. action?

The latest animated offering from Marvel and Lionsgate is actually a “two-fer,” Hulk vs. Wolverine and Hulk vs. Thor. The films clocks in at 37 minutes (Wolverine) and 45 minutes (Thor), and they’re enjoyable for the most part. But after a while, I got sick of Hulk just smashing everything.

The “Hulk smashfest” lasted for the first few minutes of Hulk vs. Wolverine, but thankfully, eventually a story began to take shape. In the film, Logan is brought in to hunt down the Hulk, who is on a rampage in Canada. Pretty soon, Wolverine learns there’s more going on when the Weapon X folks show up hunting Hulk, too. They include Deadpool (they ...

Rant: First Look At Gambit In ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’

Some of you may have seen a brief glimpse of the infamous “ragin’ cajun” from leaked footage of the X-Men Origins: Wolverine teaser trailer that debuted at the Fox panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

For those who did not (and even those who did), we have the first official photo of Gambit thanks to Empire Magazine. This comes just days after a new picture of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine was released.

If you didn’t see the low-quality leaked videos but you’re excited to see the trailer for this movie like me, then you’re in luck as the official trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine debuts alongside The Day The Earth Stood Still on December 12th. That’s just two weeks away!

As for the image, this particular picture does not impress me. In those clothes with that face, I don’t see Gambit anywhere. It looks like some random shot from ...
