It’s been expected for a while but this February DC will do steampunk variant covers of many of their New 52 titles. As it happens comic book super site Comic Book Resources were given an exclusive peak at some of the designs. They’re too good not to share. […]
Find out why Superheroes wear underwear on the outside
This video from “Today I found out” digs into the history of superhero costumes and why early superheroes seemed to be wearing their underwear on the outside. If you like asking “Why” (and many wise geeks do). The script from the video is actually an excerpt from The Wise Book of Whys.

DC Comic’s Constantine to get his own TV show
I was just moaning about Constantine in Irregular Reconnaissance when NBC go and announce a TV show. David Goyer (Batman Begins, Man of Steel) and Daniel Cerone (The Mentalist) are writing the script.

Superhero Week: Opinion poll of 1000 Brits sees Marvel thrash DC Comics
If you asked 1,000 members of the British public some superhero and comic book questions how would they do?

It’s PR fuel for them. It’s […]
