comics

Traditionally, comic book characters hail from a few U.S. cities. However, if you dig deep, you can find that every state has at lease one character they can call their own, no matter how obscure.

For the past 15 years, comic book shops around the country celebrate the genre by offering free comic books to customers the first Saturday in May every year.

Redditor nite4awk made these awesome pics of comic strip greats Calvin and Hobbes in real life settings. They are beautiful. Hopefully they will make your day. If you'd like to see more, you can find them here in resolutions suitable for computer wallpaper. Awesome!

So, I spent my first ever father's day in the very fitting surroundings of Denver's first comic convention. (Would you expect any less from this geeky dad?) Check out some of the pictures I took from Denver Comic Con on Sunday. I have to say, I was impressed...

DC Comics made headlines recently by announcing that one of its major heroes was going to be revealed as an openly gay character. Today, the company came clean by declaring that the homosexual hero is Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern.

The claim made in one of the Avengers previews claiming it to be “The greatest superhero movie of all time,” might just be right on. I hit up a midnight screening of the new Marvel movie last night, and it did not disappoint!

Tomorrow is big day in the movie-world. The Avengers opens in theatres at midnight! And tomorrow is also May the 4th, or Star Wars Day ("May the 4th be with you"). (Later this month we also get to celebrate  National Geek Pride Day.) So, (as any self-proclaimed comic book geek ought to be) I will be at a midnight screening of the Avengers tonight.

Comic book fans are in limbo after Marvel Comics apparently killed off a member of The Fantastic Four.
