I’m still a fan of my Spider-man pen from Cross. They’ve a new Marvel collection in stock. The Cross X Marvel Collection features Hulk, Spider-man and Thor. They’re rolling ball pens with chrome. The price tag of £50 makes them gift-worthy, I think. They might be more than you’d spend on yourself but just the […]

Who would win in a fight? Zombie Hulk or She Thor
I’m not entirely sure “She Thor” is the name I’d use – I’d stick with Thor but I’m not reading that arch so what do I know? I tell what I know; this animation by Milton Pool of Miltonius Arts is awfully impressive for a fan project. How did this fight come about? One day […]
