After being tied up for what seemed like a millennium in legal shenanigans, Fist of the North Star: The Movie finally returns to DVD! Brought to you by Discotek Media, the Fist re-release includes the classic Streamline English dub track, but lacks the alternate Japanese ending (bummer). That notwithstanding, Fist of the North Star is a must buy for any classic anime heads or new anime lovers with a bit of taste.

In preparation for the opening of the G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra movie later this summer, Hasbro is making the patriotic move of releasing its new wave of movie-themed G.I.

It’s an all-out Joe blitz with figures and toys in the 12″ and 3 3/4″ varieties, vehicles, Halloween costumes, etc. So if you’re an adult or kid G.I.

Stan revealed that they had met before, and that Michael was interested in buying Marvel Comics. Now, how many fans have wanted to do that over the years? But how many actually could?”
