Pulp Avengers by Calamity Jon

I am a sucker when modern characters are re-imagined into old style projects. Calamity Jon is an artist who hit this idea right square on the head when he decided to take some of the lesser known Avengers (Wasp, Black Widow, Power Man) and fold them into pulp novel type stories. These covers look spectacular, and I would definitely read these books based on their tag lines alone. I am especially intrigued by the bonus in this series, DC Comics favorite space man Strange being written by Robert Heinlein (the author of Starship Troopers). That would be epic all the way around.

And here is the bonus, DC Comics favorite spaceman Adam Strange:

Reebok & Marvel Team Up For Some Killer Super Shoes This Summer!!!

Reebok has taken a back seat to competitor Nike over the past 10 years when it comes to ruling the sneaker world, but sometime you have to look backward & be creative to move to the forefront. Reebok is doing just that, going into 'Classic' mode and re-releasing a ton of greatest hits including Allen Iverson & Shaq's first sneakers. But their killer upcoming collabo with Marvel Comics is sure to become a popular part of the companys resurgence this summer. There are 10 models, all of them coming on classic Reebok models. Some of the creme de la creme of Marvel are getting their own shoes in the collection, and they are very detail orientated. Cap, Spidey, Wolverine, Deadpool, Black Widow, Emma Frost, Gambit, Sabretooth, Venom & Red Skull are all getting editions, and they are so bad ass. I think the Red Skull & deadpool ones are the best, but I am partial to Pumps. Tell us which ones you like the best in the comment section & check out pics of each pair after the jump...

And check out these inner soles... sick!!!!

Avengers Assembled

I remember when I first started hearing the rumors back in 2007, that the upcoming "Iron Man" movie was going to have a cameo appearance by Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, that is going to set up for an Avengers movie............Suuuuuuuuuuure. Now first, I didn't believe it, and second, even if they did include said scene, ain't no way in hell they are gunna be able pull off that kind of big plan.

But here we are, 5 movies later, and less than a year away from an unprecedented comic book movie event. Here's a look a the character posters they unveiled over the weekend at SDCC all together as one giant banner of nergasm.

Click the pic for a big version. I'll let you guess what my current wallpaper is.

Aside from a few bumps (I really wish that was Edward Norton) Marvel looks like they may actually pull this off. An ensemble comic book film, all with predefined singular experiences, helmed by Joss Whedon, one of the best ensemble and genre handlers out there today. Holy crap I say.

I have enjoyed all the movies thus far, as good, fun, "comic book movies." I am eagerly awaiting this. If it doesn't go any further after, I'm totally fine with that, because as I said, I never would have believed it would have even made it this far.

What do you guys think? If the world does end late next year.....are we good?
