If you’re not amped enough about the opening of The Amazing Spiderman 2 this weekend, you should probably start collecting action figures — stat. Perhaps you should also cut some popcorn holes into the face of your Spidey suit for when you go to the premiere — sans any self-respecting date. Well, maybe you think that you don’t […]

The first official trailer to the sequel of the Amazing Spider-Man dropped today. Looks promising, with Spidey’s arch antagonist switching from the Lizard to Electro, another infamous (and classic) Peter Parker nemesis. The ultra-fast reboot of the once Tobey Maquire-led franchise only goes to show Hollywood’s voracious appetite for money superhero movies, so it’s no […]

The San Diego Comic-Con began humbly in the year 1970 when some 300 people gathered in the basement of the US Grant Hotel to promote the burgeoning world of comic books. It has now grown into the largest convention of its kind in the world, with over 150,000 people flocking to the beach metropolis generating […]

The Punisher is, without a doubt, one of the most undervalued characters in the Marvel Comics catalogue.

Firebombing tactics of dining hall wall grandeur, they’ve created a name for themselves in Italy through the digital enhancement of vintage portraits. Not into retouching, their enhancement reigns in obscuring features by way of a virtual Marvel masquerade — adorned with masks of […]

Read previous posts from Bureaucracy for Breakfast HERE. This week a riveting scandal rocked the internet, once again pitting the roughhewn ax-wielding 99% masses against their mortal enemy: Evil, greedy bankers. You probably saw this photo, unless you’re one of those Pinocchios who “never goes on Facebook” … So many people were enraged. Damn the 1% […]

You know, I’m actually not hating on these Marvel Superhero Hoodies. 90% of the times comic book clothing licenses are about as creative as laundry detergent commercials, or as appealing as Ed Hardy on a Revere Beach guido, but these hoodies actually look alright. The long-sleeve, full-zip hooded sweatshirts are 60% cotton / 40% polyester, […]
