By day, The Irredeemable Shag plays the part of a wealthy industrialist, playboy, and philanthropist. By night, he is a frightening creature that strikes terror into the hearts of criminals!
... or ...
maybe The Irredeemable Shag managed a comic book store for four years, and a movie theater megaplex for three years. Nowadays he's just a really vocal geek on THE UNIQUE GEEK, a semi-regular on the VIEWS FROM THE LONGBOX podcast, and runs the ONCE UPON A GEEK and FIRESTORM FAN blogs.
You decide...Blue Devil … on a Warner Bros. Consumer Products promotional poster? Seriously? Really? How friggin’ cool! The image below comes from License!

While in the attic recently, I came across several of my old posters. When I was in college and working at a comic book shop, these things plastered the walls of my apartment. They were everywhere! Nowadays I only have comic posters hanging in my Comicatorium. So I decided these old posters needed to see […]
Robot Chicken’s “Justice League – Bring a Sidekick to Work Day”. Enjoy!

I received this Batman: The Brave and the Bold Valentine from my good friend E. Peterman over at the Girls-Gone-Geek blog. The printed Valentine itself is cool (it comes with a sticker!), however, it’s E’s own special additions which make it hilarious! I love me some Aquaman, but I still find this outrageously funny. I […]

Today we’ll be looking at the Monopoly Justice League of America Collector’s Edition from 1999. This was a great piece produced by USAOPOLY representing the Silver Age Justice League. The premise of the game is identical to Monopoly, the difference being simply in what things are called. Instead of the properties being named after places […]
I’m not usually a fan of people mocking Aquaman, however, I thought these two music videos were humorous. I still believe the King of the Seven Seas is a majestic ruler who deserves our respect, but I can also enjoy a good joke from time to time. This first one is by a band called […]
