Geek and Gamer Girls

Have you noticed the endless number of songs that parody Katy Perry's "California Girls" geared towards nerds and geeks alike? It doesn't take a genius to cram a plethora of geek terms into California Girls' brain numbing chorus, which is why I find them all less than entertaining. However, this version has some geek credibility, showcasing two very familiar faces.

SDCC 2011 - Will there be consequences to the eye-stabbing incident?

I was unable to attend San Diego Comic Con International 2010. I missed-out on key events like Green Lantern, the Avengers, Thor and getting stabbed in the eye by a crazed fan wearing a Harry Potter shirt irate about a seat in Hall H. It seems everyone still has that memory fresh in their heads, attendee or not, and this t-shirt company is already glorifying the crazy incident.


As funny as this shirt is, I'm not sure fans are thinking about the consequence this incident may entail for the future of Comic Con. They may lock-down celebrities that often walk the con floor freely, as crazed fans are potentially seen as a threat. I really hope this isn't the case, but something tells me security may be handled differently as Comic Con is a relatively high profile event these days.

Something tells me the stabbing victim won't be first in line to buy this shirt, but if you'd like to, it's available here.

More kicks!

Not sure why I keep seeing more-and-more superhero shoes emerging on the market, not that I'm complaining, but I found these custom Batman and Robin Nike's I'd really like to get my hands on. What I like about these designs is the level of "personality" it captures, especially Robin's design, really capturing the elements of Robin. You can buy them here for £500.00. That translates to about $643.00!

Bobby C?

I stumbled upon this sculptor earlier today, and was blown away at his sculpting accuracy. His work surpasses the best celebrity wax statue I've ever seen. Recreating exact copies in sculpt form, he goes by the handle, "Bobby C" who seems to be a legend within online prop making forums. This guy must have a hand in Hollywood somewhere, I'm sure of it.

Batman Art by Simon C. Page - Batman vs Penguin

I find minimalistic art intriguing for two reasons. One, they are iconic enough to only be recognized even if at a glance. Two, it tells a story with very little on the canvas. Superhero minimalistic art demonstrates how ingrained they are into our culture. At quick glance... you'll get it. But take a closer look.

The Walking Dead Official Trailer

A little late on the subject, but I finally got around to seeing the official trailer for the Walking Dead, a near page-by-page interpretation of the comic book published by Image Comics and put together by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard. It's refreshing to see that they are staying faithful to the source material, even having writer Robert Kirkman on set to make sure everything is in order. Correct me if I'm wrong, but will this be the first television series that feature zombies?, If so, awesome! The Walking Dead will premiere on AMC Halloween night 10/9c.

UPDATE: Looks like the show is winning over critics. The Walking Dead has already been approved for a second season. Impressive considering the pilot hasn't even aired yet.

Batman: Arkham City Screenshots!

The anticipated sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum titled "Batman: Arkham City" has released a plethora of screen shots. Rocksteady Studios and WB Interactive provided a good mix of cinematic shots and actual game play. Batman: Arkham Asylum's greatest strength was the level of detail they included in the game. You don't have to be a die hard Batfan to understand the "who's-who" references, but they included some great references that only comic readers would smile at, namely myself. With an updated Harley design along with new villains, I can already tell this game is going to be top-notch with detail. I can't express enough how excited I am about this game, Fall 2011 can't arrive soon enough! I'll be first in line if they do another midnight release.

Converse gets a touch of DC Comics

Picked up these awesome chuck's last week! I'm not much of a sneaker-head, but I was absolutely compelled to buy them!

Why, you slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler!

Star Trek has Tiberius Cologne for Men. Star Wars will be pushing their own line of fragrances from a galaxy far far away. Slave Leia's scent looks like a decent bottle of perfume, but Lando? Han Solo would've been a better choice. I can imagine Solo's tag line "Scent of a Scoundrel." I still think Captain Kirk still has the edge on this one!

If you could sum up Galactus in one picture....

... this is it!


I'm not even a huge fan of Galactus. Frankly, if you ask me, no matter how you slice it... he's still wearing a skirt! However, I still can't get over the awesomeness of the exclusive SDCC Galactus. Not just for the figure, but the shear size of it being traditionally carded! Here it is next to the build-a-figure (BAF) version.
