Amazing DC Pantheon Etched on an Etch-A-Sketch
This is quite amazing. It’s the Justice League recreated on an Etch-A-Sketch by the Etch-A-Sketch Man (alias Christoph Brown) and edited together by Nathaniel Brown. What impresses me isn’t just his skill with the device, but a lot of these are actually quite good compositions regardless of the medium.

JLA Archive Cards, better than Lichtenstein
One trading card set I haven’t seen in my local Forbidden Planet is the Rittenhouse Justice League Archives card set, which is a pity as they’re actually rather good (the cards that is, not FB – that’s a slowly brewing rant for another day). Luckily there are sellers on eBay that sell the entire 72-card [...]
Wu-Tang Clan team-up with the JLA
Some team-ups have never been dreamed of, until now that is. The Comics Alliance’s Chris Sims and Rusty Shackles have reimagined the cover from the JLA and JSA’s first team-up as this team-up between the JLA and the Wu-Tang Clan. Go to the Comics Alliance to see the full version.
Plush Justice League and Toyfair
Toyfair, the giant show for toys and games, has just finished. There were lots of announcements and photos, the Mattel JLU line is still running (great Lobo figure) and their DC Universe line is growing (Tyr WTF?), DC Direct are producing great stuff, and there are more Morrison era JLA figures. However, it’s the above [...]
Justice Guild action figures
The last Justice League cartoon story I reviewed was the two-part first-season episode “Legends” (Part One, Part Two). This story introduced the Justice Guild – an homage and loving pastiche of the Justice Society. Well, just to prove that Mattel will make figures of anything, they’re going to sell a special collectors edition of four [...]
Warren Martineck’s JLA Artist Proofs
Warren Martineck is one of the arts who has provided sketch cards for the Justice League Archives Trading Cards. He’s recently posted this great double panel of the JLA and JSA teaming-up to fight Starro. These are Artist Proof cards, which he describes as:
An Artist’s Proof card is a separate blank card with special printing [...]
Some purely practical thoughts on the Apple’s new tablet cloud-client
So people are jabbering about this new iPad from Apple Computers. I can’t help feel totally underwhelmed by it. It’s a netbook (whatever Apple may claim – it even has a pathetic 1Ghz processor). A touch netbook without a keyboard and without a proper operating system. It’s a crippled, DRM infested, misfire.
Some practical thoughts with [...]
Superman movies in the Public Domain
The 1940s Columbia movie serial that is. It’s available to view over at the Internet Archives. I knew that the 1940s Superman cartoons were Public Domain, but I was not aware that this motion picture serial was also in the public domain. The Archive describes it as:
The Superman serial was a 1948 15-part black-and-white movie [...]
Darwyn Cooke’s monochrome trinity
Burton, of the Original Comics Book Art blog, reports the sale on eBay of several large pieces of stunning Darwyn Cooke (Spirit, DC: The New Frontier) artwork. The piece from which is the above is taken is a large monochrome piece featuring Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman that sold for 2,500 dollars.
Villains Day Off fan-film
This great fan film was the 2009 Award Winner at the Superman Celebration in Metropolis, IL. It was written and directed by George Doerr VI and features Thomas Hayes as Lex Luthor and Doerr as the Joker. I particularly liked the “Villains Just Want A Day Off Song” sung by Poison Ivy (Jenny Garofalo) to [...]
