It's the release of Halo Legends that has us the most excited this week, but we're also getting our afros picked and our bell bottoms pressed for the release of the comedy Black Dynamite, starring none other than Spawn himself. Also on tap is a revenge flick featuring lots of boom-boom and an anime twist on zombies featuring lots of slicey-dicey.

Halo Legends Blu-ray

In the tradition of The Animatrix and Batman: Gotham Knight, Halo Legends explores the backgrounds and origins of the Halo universe and the Spartans themselves, including Master Chief. Satisfy your regular cravings for plasma grenades to the face and purple blood splattered everywhere with this eight-episode anthology of short stories about your favorite far-future universe. $22.99

Black Dynamite Blu-ray

Comedic blaxploitation is back, and it's kickin' in the door and slappin' all the suckahs! With more Kung-fu action than Steven Seagal's home movies, Black Dynamite stars Michael Jai White as Black Dynamite, a gloriously afro'd martial arts master who's on a revenge binge after his brother is killed by drug pushers. Set in the 1970s, you'll see fine cars, finer ladies, high kicks and more bell bottoms than in John Travolta's storage unit. $21.99

Law Abiding Citizen Blu-ray

Gerard Butler plays Clyde Shelton, a man whose wife and daughter were brutally murdered in front of him. Jamie Foxx plays Nick Rice, the district attorney who's made a deal with the murderer that sets him free. Clyde no likey Nick. Did we mention that Clyde was once a super-mega-spy? Yep, kabooms a-plenty. $19.99

Claymore: The Complete Series Box Set Blu-ray

Imagine a world where humans and zombies actually coexist, but the zombies are sentient, intelligent beings and the humans must hire human-zombie hybrids to protect them. That is the world of Claymore, where a hybrid -- known as "Claymores" after the large swords they wield -- named Clare and her human sidekick Raki wander from town to town killing zombies -- called "Yoma" -- for money. Even if you're an anime noob, give this series a try. You'll have sword envy in no time. $38.99
