While shopping at Wal-Mart this past weekend, I stumbled across these superhero briefs for men. Yes, these are for adults. They look like overgrown Underoos. While I’m always thrilled to find superhero apparel, these are not something I would wear. This takes scaring away the ladies and reinforcing stereotypes to a whole new level. And […]

Okay, I haven’t read any Batman comics regularly in the past few years. I read Batman: RIP and didn’t care for it. Even though I’m a HUGE Tim Drake fan, I walked away from Robin once it became Red Robin. I’d simply had enough of the craziness in the Bat-verse and wasn’t interested in Grant […]

Here are a couple brilliant Calvin and Hobbes inspired bits making their way around the interwebs. This first one comes from the recent Superman/Batman #75 and is by Brian Azzerello and Lee Bermejo. This comic strip is all over the internet, but I first found it on Forbidden Planet International. Click the image below to […]

A few weeks ago, I shared an unlikely Brave and the Bold team-up comic cover. Turns out there is another gentlemen named Ross that runs a site dedicated to Brave and the Bold Batman team-ups that never happened. Click here to visit The Brave and the Bold… The Lost Issues! The amazing thing is that […]

I should start off by admitting that I love Neal Adams artwork. This guy is a MASTER! An absolute master artist. He helped redefine the look of comics in the 1970s and he can still draw just about anybody under the table. Okay, with my disclaimer out of the way I can get on with […]

As mentioned yesterday, I was a big fan of comic-related pins in the late-80s and through the mid-90s. Yesterday we featured pins from DC Comics, today we’re going to feature pins from Marvel Comics, independent comic companies, movies, and TV. Thankfully comic companies were generous with giveaway pins and also sold some nice quality cloisonne […]

Back in the late-80s through the mid-90s I was a big fan of pins. I loved wearing pins on my shirts, especially those associated with comic books! Thankfully comic companies were generous with giveaway pins and also sold some nice quality cloisonne pins. Cloisonne pins are small decorative pins worn on the lapel of a […]
