CAPTCHAs are good for other things beside security and the occasional laugh. For one, they can fulfill dreams. They can destroy dreams too. They can be the stuff of our nightmares. But they can also be inspirational. These CAPTCHAs inspired an artist to create comics devoted to the word combinations. These internet security-inspired comics are so cool and so puntastic that I half expect them to put on a pair of sunglasses before each punchline. YEEEEEAAAHHHH!

If I were Ron Perlman, I might be a little concerned. LEGO Hellboy came out of nowhere and showed off its clone-like resemblance to his comic book counterpart. I mean, there’s always the matter of the LEGO-man’s small stature, but anything can be edited with special effects these days. And just think of the money they’d save on wardrobe and makeup costs. Created by Brickshelf user misterzumbi, the LEGO Hellboy comes complete with filed-down horn stumps and all of that... Continue reading

YouTube show Crazy Sexy Geeks sat down with three forensic psychiatrists of Broadcast Thought to discuss the psychology of Bruce Wayne. Is the Batman a sane vigilante who uses methods of terrorism to clean the streets or is there something deeper? Does Bruce Wayne suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder? These are some of the mysteries that the doctors are asked to solve. Ultimately, we must realize that Gotham is a city which has no Earthly comparisons. Villains more evil than... Continue reading

Sin City, 300, Batman: The Dark Knight and The Spirit. What do these titles all have in common? They are all the product of the mind of Frank Miller, the trailblazing comic artist and writer who took comics to the next level. Elevating comics from the newsstand to the bookstore and, later, the world of film – serious film. Frank Miller created comics that were taken seriously. If Frank Miller had employed his film-noir style of storytelling and his over-the-top... Continue reading

Since I was a kid I’ve had an odd fascination with Charlie Brown and the Peanuts crew. I don’t know whether it was the innocence of the strip, the underlying consistency of Charles Schulz or my ability to relate to Charlie Brown and his dark cloud mentality. Regardless, Peanuts is one comic that will always be read and will always be looked at as a classic. In honor of the comic strip that has inspired cartoons, movies and untooned pieces...

I blame this all on the princess. And partly on Steven King. But mostly on the princess. Look, don’t you think after the third or fourth time you were abducted you’d maybe start to consider a safer security system? You’ve driven the poor man crazy. All Mario wanted to do was finally retire from his days of princess rescuing and plumbing, and retreat into the life he always wanted, the life of a writer. But all rescue and no play...

In this perfectly produced homage to childhood obsession, designer Chris Walt created the Chewie & Han t-shirt, in honor of both Calvin & Hobbes and Star Wars. Walt is selling the shirt for $22 through redbubble. The shirt is available both with and without text. I can’t say I was a huge fan of Calvin & Hobbes when I was a kid (I was more of a classic Peanuts, Far Side and Garfield guy), but this design is just too... Continue reading

As believable as this may seem, Batman never did join Motorhead. I know, it seems like a perfect fit and Lemmy probably would have jumped at the chance, but nope, this cover belongs to a series known as Great Comics That Never Happened. In the fictional series “The Brave and the Bold,” issue number 124, Batman decides he is sick of the Justice League ways and joins hands with his new partners, none other than Lemmy, Mikkey Dee and Phil...
