I just got back from Germany so expect a couple dozen Red Skull related posts this week.

Poster for your wall. Fight nazism wherever it’s found. Who can argue with that? Hopefully not your wife or husband who insists you take down the comic book posters from your wall. Ask them whose side they’re on.

Very important you read this. Either for the Martin art or the Vaughn story or for your love of Doctor Strange. Whatever gets you there, just read it. It’s fantastic. All issues for cheap here. Buy.

Here’s the closest I could find to a wearable comic book related hat. Not too goofy, could be a sports team at a glance and isn’t a New Era flat-brim (the surest sign you only date women who work at Mr. Subb). This hat is passable… until you get to the “adjustable fit” component. What does that mean in this case? I don’t know. Hopefully one of those wack velcro dealies, because as lame as those are, they’re still cooler than snapbacks. Snapbacks are in right now, but in among people you want nothing to do with.

To give you an idea of how corny I think snapback hats are, check this auction out. I’d rather wear this Jughead-branded headpiece than a snapback. This thing is collectors-only because if you wear it in public people scooch down a few seats from you on subways and buses. Though, for what it’s worth, this hat is way cooler than your average “young skateboarder” beanie.

Here’s today’s clear winner. Put this on and feel all the power and mystique of Gotham’s caped crusader. Or feel like a true weirdo with a tenuous grasp on reality. Either/or.

With the Captain America movie looming, a bubble economy has emerged on Ebay. Everyone wants to unload their worthless Cap products before the film hits. Do you think Green Lantern stuff is selling big right now? Nope. Gotta sell before people have a chance to make an informed decision. Let hype rule the market. Safer that way.

Check this out. This is a Cap toy from Argentina. Interesting, because I don’t know if children in the US would be terribly interested in Captain Argentina. Also, where’s Cap’s arm?

Some of these issues, no matter how ridiculous, were pretty fun reads. I love badguy on badguy violence and this arc had great examples of that. Cap should get hooked on drugs more often. Hopefully the paparazzi doesn’t get ahold of this sordid detail from his past. He’s got a movie coming out and doesn’t need this kind of press.

Throw in the Lava-Men, mindless lava creatures who took down a pretty bad idea (Avengers Island? Ew.) and this is a must have. You can find it in all sorts of used bins, but I’d scoop this copy up quickly. Comics at their finest.

Nuff Said.

Well, they throw up the American flag and start killing alien soldiers, der! A great Mike Zeck piece where you get to see a Romita influence in his pencils – I haven’t come across much of his work in an unfinished form and you can really see that style here, especially on the Kree soldiers in the foreground. If I was the type to have $900 to throw around, I would probably scoop this up. Has anyone seen a color version of this piece?
