How off-duty superhero clothes have evolved [infographic]
There’s always lots of internet discussion when a popular superhero changes their costume. There’s been some real progression in recent years. I think the 2014 Batgirl costume was a good one.

Geek in style: A review of Cross Marvel Tech2 Spider-Man pen
I was given some Green Lantern cufflinks as a gift and I still get a kick out of the secret geek they represent. It’s rare that I need to be suited and booted but when it happens I’m clearly out of my geeky comfort zone. Being able to smuggle in something that’s both classy and […]
Character illustrations for those who can’t draw: A review of ePic Character Generator
It’s frustrated for me for as long as I can remember; I can’t draw. I’ve been envious of friends with the talent to create little sketches of their roleplaying characters and NPCs.
