Some wonderful art from Nebezial. Have you done this? Not sneak up behind the Joker while he’s tinkered with a bomb – but recognised the situation, failed to register it entirely and go ahead with your original idea? Bad idea.
Superhero Schuhs
British shoe retailer have taken stock of an interesting range of Converse. There’s a Thundercats trainer that features Lion-O, Panthro, Tygra and Cheetara. There’s a Batman Converse trainers pair, Superman Converse trainers pair and even a Joker Converse trainers pair. Imagine this blogger’s surprise to find a pair of superhero infographic-style messages in his inbox […]
The Rockabilly Batman and Bane
Bob Kane and Bill Finger created Batman in 1939 and so the Dark Knight lived through the Rockabilly era of the 1950s. I suspect, though, Batman art and stories haven’t been touched by the Rockabilly style until now. I keep on wanting to type “rockability” – but I suspect that’s the gamer in me trying […]
Superheroes on the D&D alignment chart
I think this superhero and villain alignment chart is particularly good. It takes the old school Dungeons and Dragons alignment scale and uses heroes and villains to populate it. The rest is that old D&D geeks get a kick out of the retro chic and the newer native geeks get an easy way to see […]
The deadly cute of art of Christopher Uminga
Do check out the website of Christopher Uminga as he draws some fantasticly cute and dangerous comic book heroes and villians. He also takes commission. A sample of his work recently surfaced on Buzzfeed, which I’ll repost some of below, so I imagine he’ll be very busy with new requests. You’ll see from the sample […]

Bob Kane created Batman and hired the at-the-time 17 year old Jerry Robinson to ink the comics. Although it’s not without some controversy, it is now widely accepted that Jerry Robinson created the Joker character. Robinson was born in New Jersey, January the 1st, 1922 and died in his sleep on the 8th of December […]
Batman: Arkham City graphic novel review
This is a well written and beautifully drawn book that fills the gap between the Batman computer games. Paul Dini and Carlos D’Anda have done really well. It’s hard not to be a little frustrated by Arkham City. It is good but its role is to line up the Arkham City computer game. It’s a […]
18 fantastic Comic-Con cosplayers who were Born This Way
This is a lip-dub of Lady Gaga’s infamous Born this Way. I imagine there are about a million of these videos on YouTube already. This one, however, is special. It’s great. I love it. This video shows what good sports geeks are. We’re up for a laugh. We’ll play along (well; when we’re not being […]
Bomb scare at L.A. Anime Expo
Saturday was an interesting day for the anime expo crowd, well, at least the early birds who got there before lunch. The LAPD bomb squad made an appearance. This was very much an on duty appearance as a “suspicious crate” had been discovered in the South Hall lobby area of the LA Convention Center. Apparently […]
DC Universe: Tech Mentor storyline trailer
There’s no doubt we’ve seen some fantastic cinematic trailers from DC Universe already. Even the gameplay trailer that featured the usual style of chaostic mass combat MMOs are associated with is worth a watch. Now we’ve a new kind of trailer: the documentary style walkthrough. This video looks at how DC Universe begins if you […]
