Today under a large tent that spared us the trauma of the sun’s vindictive rays, KIA and DC Entertainment gathered a group of journalists and fans to show them the final vehicle in their yearlong collaboration: the Justice League Sorrento. Part of DC’s ongoing “We Can Be Heroes” Project, the idea was to build customized, one-of-a-kind vehicular […]

Tim Maclean "Fragments & Phantoms" exhibit at Subtext Gallery

Subtext Gallery in San Diego is hosting artist Tim Maclean’s first solo show, Fragments & Phantoms, which opened July 14 during Comic Con. The timing makes sense given Maclean’s work plays on fantasy’s invasion of the real world, much like Comic Con itself. Fantasy stems from the mental realm, or as Maclean says, “the place where […]

Geek-inspired handmade rings, cuff links, earrings & money clips

Anyone who has watched Big Bang Theory will attest to the hotness factor surrounding Kaley Cuoco. A girl that’s tall, beautiful and blonde, but also has the wits to go toe-to-toe with two physicists is a girl that knows the path to my heart. Plus, she rocks a damn good Wonder Woman outfit to boot. […]


The always playful Jeremy Scott continues his winged assault on the traditional high top sneaker with his latest creation.

The perfect gift for the imaginary girlfriend in your life

I have some very good news for the comic book geeks out there with girlfriends. And when I say girlfriend, I’m not counting anyone you communicate with strictly via keyboard. To celebrate their 75th anniversary, DC Comics have teamed up with nOir Jewelry for a collection inspired by the venerable comics powerhouse’s fiercest and most […]


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 […]

The Invisible Car That Doesn't Go Anywhere

For Design Week in Milan, Lexus created this F4 ‘hyper-sportscar’ constructed entirely out of acrylic. Why I’m not exactly sure. From what I can discern from Spiegel — which isn’t much considering it’s written entirely in German — it’s made out of 3 massive acrylic pieces, with many details like engine, instruments, seats, etc. replicated.
