NEW DC Comics Superhero Trucker Hats!

Superherostuff (my favorite spot for all my geeky t-shirts, hats, etc.) just started selling Batman, Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern trucker hats. 
Made from 55% Cotton and 45% Polyester, this One Size Fits Most baseball cap features a screen printed image underneath a raised, embroidered Superman shield symbol with a purposely distressed bill. Oh, and check out the red mesh rounding out the back of the hat! COOL! Not sure what's going on here, though. Superman may have had another, "accident." One where an entire city just sort of.......sinks. Anyway, this cool as beans Superman cap also features a plastic snap-band for closure! NEATO!
Head over to Superherostuff and take a look at all their hats as well as all the other cool superhero items for sale.  If you hurry, you might even be able to find a simple but cool Halloween costume.

DC Comics Announces Iconic Covers Coming in 2011

This coming January, you’ll notice something unique about the cover treatments for DCU titles hitting that month.  Each title gets a unique and yet familiar logo treatment that brings the focus on the characters and stars of their respective books. 

New year. New beginnings. New focus.

This January will see a handful of one-shots spotlighting some of the key players in the DCU by an A-list assortment of creators, including James Robinson, Eric Wallace, J.T. Krul and more. 

Here’s the breakdown:


STARMAN /CONGORILLA #1
Written by JAMES ROBINSON
Art by BRETT BOOTH
Cover by GENE HA

In this tie-in to the “JLA Omega” storyline, the new blue and gold team of Congorilla and Mikaal Tomas work to unlock the secrets behind the toxic Omega Man’s dark energy, which encases Washington D.C. To do this they must embark on a quest to find the Fountain of Youth, encountering diverse heroes from the DCU along the way including Animal Man, Sirocco and a certain wonder dog named Rex. And all the while, Mikaal and Congorilla must outrun and outwit a cadre of terrorist assassins from Gorilla City. This is a breakneck chase through the DCU, but with a serious end-goal – saving the lives of their fellow members of the JLA!

ONE-SHOT • On sale JANUARY 5 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US


SHAZAM! #1
Script by ERIC WALLACE
Art by CLIFF RICHARDS
Cover by CLIFF CHIANG

Blaze, the current ruler of Hell, has an offer for Mary and Billy Batson that may be too good to pass up! Left powerless, will the two former heroes have the strength to deny the devil? Can Freddy Freeman save them? And how does the Titan Osiris fit into it all? Find out here, in this one-shot special written by Eric Wallace (TITANS) with art by Cliff Richards (THE ROAD HOME: BATMAN & ROBIN #1)!

ONE-SHOT • On sale JANUARY 26 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US


STEEL #1
Written by STEVE LYONS
Art by SEAN CHEN
Cover by ALEX GARNER

John Henry Irons is a normal human being who managed to overcome all odds and become a hero who Superman considers a peer and colleague. What kind of determination drives a man to reach such heights? Find out here as a battered and bruised Steel defiantly stands as the only thing between Metallo and the destruction of Metropolis! Doctor Who novelist Steve Lyons and artist Sean Chen (ACTION COMICS, SALVATION RUN) deliver a story that shows why Steel is a true DC Universe icon!

ONE-SHOT • On sale JANUARY 5 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US


WONDER GIRL #1
Written by JT KRUL
Art by ADRIANA MELO & MARIAH BENES
Cover by NICOLA SCOTT & DOUG HAZLEWOOD

Spinning out of the pages of TEEN TITANS comes this spotlight on Cassie Sandsmark, the wonderful Wonder Girl! Even though not every moment of Wonder Girl’s life is spent being a Titan, strange adventures still follow her everywhere. In this issue, she’ll cross paths with the odd new hero known as Solstice!

Things I want to Wear But Can't - Nike Superman, Flash & Green Lantern Hightops

I know these are a little too bright, too Fitzgerald, too nerdy, too elementary, too Shaq, too geeky, just plain too much BUT I love them!

Here are the second in Nike's Zoom Huarache Trainer Superhero limited edition series -- which were designed exclusively for the NFL superstar receiver Larry Fitzgerald -- are due to hit specialty shoe stores this week, and feature a color scheme based on the Man of Steel himself. They follow last month's Flash inspired shoes, and precede next month's Green Lantern kicks -- which are easily the coolest looking of the bunch.

The shoes are going for $115 each and should be hitting your local hipster sneaker store today.If you've got hands of Larry Fitzgerald and the balls of Ray Lewis, these shows are for you.

Cast of Seinfeld as DC Superheroes

David Watcher put two of my favorite things together Seinfeld and DC Comics.  Prior to his fantastic artwork, I would have never thought it possible that the two would meet.  I love George Constanza as Batman wearing his glasses. Just classic!  Head over to David's site to see some more beautiful, creative and unique artwork.

McDonalds Releases New Masturbating Batman Toy in Happy Meals

Every guy in the world ends up playing with his little buddy every now and again.  But what about the superheroes and villians of the DC Universe?  Are they any different than the rest of us?

Does Aquaman flog his dolphin?  Does Scarface beat the dummy?  Does Lex Luthor make the bald guy puke?  Does the Music Meister play the skin flute?  Do the members of the Shadowpact spank their monkey?  Sure they do.  They all do.  Hell, I'll even bet that Silver Age Flash still polishes his helmet every now and again. 

But what about Batman?  Bruce Wayne just goes and grabs himself a couple of Gothams loosest women when he gets the urges.  But what about when he's Batman?  Well, McDonald's seems to have answered that question for us with this new happy meal toy:

Sinestro Brand Moustache Wax and Other Superhero Endorsements


After years of ridicule, is Booster Gold's dream of being able to become a superhero millionaire simply by accepting endorsement deals now a reality?  Well no, but imagine if it was. 

Superheroes reach celebrity status.  They endorse products we all know.  And Booster Gold looks like a pioneer.  I don't even have a moustache, and I already want to buy some of the Sinestro Brand Stache Wax.

Action Comics #892 75th Anniversary Superman Flash Race Variant


This is the amazing Ivan Reis’ variant cover to ACTION COMICS #892.  It's also the latest in a series of special variant covers done in celebration of DC Comics 75th Anniversary.  The cover celebrates the long tradition of races between Superman and Flash.  The first occured in Superman #199 published in 1967. 


How the Superman - Flash Races First Started

According to issue #199, the Secretary-General of the United Nations came up with the idea, and approached Superman and the Flash with the idea of a benefit race. Money raised from sweepstakes would fund aid programs for underdeveloped nations.  Superman and Flash completed the race with a clear tie, ensuring that everyone was a winner. 

Superman went on to race Barry Allen several more times, and also held races with Wally West and even Jay Garrick.  All three of those men who wore the Flash costume at one point or another would beat Superman at least once in a footrace.  Superman, who was able to force a couple of ties, has never outright won a race with a Flash.
