Luxury pen maker Montegrappa has been making writing instruments for almost a century. And DC Comics has been making comics since the golden comic-book era in 1935. So perhaps this lineage justifies the inception of Montegrappa x DC Comics “Heroes & Villains” pen collection. Well, that and the fact that you might just feel a little cheap […]

"That which doesn't kill you, makes you... stranger."

(And let’s not forget other LIAS favorites like Robocop and Spiderman.) Here we bring you the the Hong Kong toymaker’s second highly detailed Joker figure, this one […]

Of course neither is a holy deity, but Waits is more 40s screen star gone wrong than ever before, while Lane sort of acts on as Mother Hen, or as Tom […]

Of course, I’d like to drink some scotch and play poker deep into the night with people that enjoyed both sets, but that’s […]

All of DC's best heroes in "DC Universe Online" video game
With the exception of Christopher Nolan’s rebooted Batman franchise, Marvel has consistently kicked the everliving shit out of DC’s comic universe in film format. The Bryan Singer X-Men (1 & 2, not that Brett Ratner abomination) and Ironman alone slay the best of what DC’s managed to come out with, and that doesn’t even count […]
