Epic Batman Sale!!!

With the 75 anniversary celebration, DC Comics is having a $.99 an issue sale for 7 days! .It is a great opportunity to catch up with the Caped Crusader's adventures. This includes tons of issues  from the Golden Age, Pre-Crisis, Post-Crisis, the New 52 one and a couple of One Shots and mini series (The Dark Knight Returns).Check it out at comiXology and DC Comics app for Android and iOS.

If you think I spend a lot of time looking for an illustration from José Luis García-López (also know as one of the greatest artists of all time) you are absolutely correct.

This Wednesday is Batman Day

Celebrating 75 years of the iconic character, DC will release a special edition of Detective Comics #27 (his first appearance) that include the original story by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, a retelling by  Brad Meltzer with art by Bryan Hitch, and more. Also, there will be capes and 4 Batman masks based on different eras of the Caped Crusader's history. These items will be available at participant comic stores only. This is a really awesome promotion for the character, I don't remember if they gave Superman this treatment last year but oh well...(he had a movie I guess).


This is not the official anniversary logo but I did it just for fun.

Fun with Photoshop: Getter Robo for the NES

I made this fake cover for a game that doesn't exist using Photoshop. Gave it an epic 80's metallic chrome effect for the fonts!

Trailer for the Constantine TV series

The newest comic book character to hit the small screen is Constantine, a British detective of the occult and  con man. The character had a long run in DC's Vertigo imprint (Hellblazer) before returning to the "main" DC Universe in the New 52 (along with Swamp Thing). Since then, DC has been really pushing him (his own book, Justice League Dark and Injustice Year 3). I'm not very familiar with the character (just what I saw in the 2005 movie, not the best first impression) but will give it a shot, maybe Swamp Thing shows up since both have a long history together (Swampy used Constantine as a vessel to impregnate his wife... what?). The series starts this fall on NBC.

MazinGetter Z!!!

Looks like Dynamic produced a Mazinger Z figure with the color scheme (and huge ax) of Getter Robo. And, as you can see, it looks fricking awesome! I grew up watching Mazinger Z and would hate any changes in the color but have to admit this palette fits the design really well (would have colored the area under the eyes and the nose black). It would be great to see a Getter Robo figure with Mazinger Z colors. For more info on how to own one of these, check the link (it's in Japanese).
