DC: The New Frontier, Vol. 1
Many of the most famous comic book superheroes were strutting their stuff in the politically-charged 1950s, but for the most part you'd never have known it. Back then, comics were still child's play, and what 11-year old cared how Wonder Woman would react to the mistreatment of female prisoners during one of the "police actions" in southeast Asia? Darwyn Cooke offers that and more in The New Frontier, anchored by vibrant Jet/Space Age-influenced art and a series of interlocking and completely satisfying tales -- including the subtle and spectacular retelling of two well-known origin stories. Cooke shows us some old friends in a new light while giving a note-perfect rendition of the Kennedy-era struggle between post-WWII disillusionment and hope for the future. Note: This is volume one of a two-volume series

In the summer of 2009 DC Comics gave a fresh twist to a grand comics tradition with WEDNESDAY COMICS, a weekly 12-issue series by some of the greatest names in comics today! The Art and the stories are excellent, and I love the return of the large news print format, I'm old school, I like the way comics look when printed on newsprint.

Yes Wonder Woman has a sock monkey counterpart. Here she is ready to save the day! Wonder Monkey is 4.5" tall. She could be a cake topper, or a keepsake for those wonder woman collectors out there.

100% cotton with a vintage feel. Women's equivalent of the t-shirt worn by Sheldon in season 2, episode 7.

These fun and colorful bandages make getting hurt a little less terrible. There are 6 different designs, all showing a different exclamation you'd see in a comic book. I would definitely wear these!

Roomy enough for all your stuff, including your sense of humor!

Nicholas Cage named his kid Kal-el, the birth name of Superman. Thats just a mean joke because obviously this kid will just never ever ever be as cool as Superman.

Lex Luthor has done it again. He's holding the city ransom and the only one who can save us is Superman! Don't let us down Super!

Super Powers action figures by Kenner circa 1984. They made action figures of all of your favorite super heroes and most hated villains - Superman, Flash, Aquaman, Joker, Lex Luthor, and etc. I'm an avid vintage toy collector and still have a lot of these still sealed in their original packaging. I thought they would almost all be out of circulation by now but apparently, they can still be purchased from collectible sites. This Wonder Woman figure is an example of one that's available online.

Where to begin!?! The entire catalog of Suckadelic Music is cleverly repurposed sound-bytes and bits from favorites like Star Wars, GI Joe, He-Man, Lord of the Rings, and pretty much everything else that made your childhood awesome. Throw it on as ass-shakin' music for your next party, or just slip it in to the CD player at work and walk away...it's really just a guaranteed good-time for all of us who were raised on Saturday Morning Cartoons. All hail the Sucklord!!

There's no good reason for this -- no function or purpose it will serve in your life (other than hang your clothes -- but you could have that for 50 cents at Wal-Mart). However, how freakin' awesome would you feel pulling all your clothes off Superman coat hangers? I'd especially like this for hanging anything I wore on weekends -- so I could change from a mild-mannered, Clark Kent version of myself that people see during the week, into the rockstar, Superman version of myself that comes out on weekends. Really, the question is: why not?

My all time favorite super hero story. Should be made into a movie.
