Spider-Man Has the Best Superhero Instagram Picture. Of Course.

Tony Stark may have the technological know-how and Bruce Wayne is probably better with nocturnal photography but really Peter Parker would probably them have them both beat if superhero Instagram actually existed. These mock-ups are the work of Sierra Katow over at the Comediva website. There are a few more on the site. What other…

Dress Up as the Most Evil Spider-Man This August in Marvel Heroes

Sure, there are already lots of alt-outfits for Spider-Man in Gazillion Entertainment’s click-battle MMO. But this one is Superior. All those wall-crawling suits in Marvel Heroes are basically Peter Parker get-ups. (Ok, yes, Spider-clone Ben Reilly is represented, too.) But, if you like your web-slinger a bit more malevolent and haughty than the original model,…

If Only a Game With Pixel Batman and Pixel Wolverine Actually Existed…

Let us once again reflect on the beauty that comes with limitation. These blocky renderings of world-famous superhero characters manage to convey just what works about each character design, despite the lack of detail that Cyclops, Superman or Spider-Man are usually drawn with. And they leave you craving the next logical step, which would be…

A Game That’s Part Tony Hawk, Part Spider-Man

Jamie Fristron has worked on a lot of games during his time in the video game industry, but he says that his most well-known creation was the web-slinging system in Spider-Man 2. Now, he’s making a new game called Energy Hook that combines Spidy-style rope-slinging with jetpacks and extreme sports. Okay then! The key to…

Super-Serious Sci-Fi Eye Contact Is My Favorite Comics Panel This Week

In the near-future of Brian Vaughan and Marcos Martin’s The Private Eye, there’s been a meltdown of social networking. Imagine anyone anywhere being able to see everyone else’s addresses, banking information or browser history. People zealously hide their real faces and personal details after this cataclysmic breakdown of virtual privacy. You would, too. So, when…

Two Great Comics Creators Are Letting You Pay What You Want for Their New Series

You might be among the legions of readers who loved Brian K. Vaughan’s classic Vertigo series Y The Last Man or are currently enjoying his excellent Saga series from Image. And you might know that he and Marcos Martin did an excellent Doctor Strange mini-series a few years back. Martin’s done incredible artwork on projects…

Gameloft Brings 12 of Its Best to Windows Phone 8

With 12 of its most popular games coming to the next generation of Microsoft’s mobile platform, I can stop complaining that games like Asphalt 7 and N.O.V.A. 3 aren’t on Windows Phone 7 and start whining about not having a Windows Phone 8. Huzzah! Along with bringing back the relative oldies-but-goodies, Gameloft is also ready…

How a Naked Japanese Man Launched Endless Photoshops

This March, a NSFW thread popped up on 2ch, the country’s largest bulletin board. The thread’s title was “Let’s Gather All the Nude Art Model Pics by Searching Google!”, and it featured an array of nude art models. But something funny happened. An internet superstar was discovered. The original thread from March seems to have…

New Amazing Spider-Man DLC Lets You Play as the Wall-Crawler’s Super-Villains

Boy, was the Lizard ever annoying to fight in this summer’s Spider-Man movie tie-in game. You, like me, may have wondered what it might be like to have all that reptilian power at your disposal. New DLC packs will let play as Spider-Man’s arch-villain and his co-creator, too. Four separate packs will hit today, including…

In Hong Kong, Superheroes Live Very Normal and Somewhat Bittersweet Lives

Being a superhero seems so glamorous. There are the outfits, the universe saving, and the crime fighting. But in Hong Kong, the lives of superheroes seem so normal. They get parking tickets, they work in markets, and after a long day, they sit down for delicious dinners. That’s the concept behind these photos, titled “Heroes…

Assassin’s Creed as Spider-Man? Sure.

The wall-crawling adventures in the Assassin’s Creed games are not directly inspired by Spider-Man comics, but the thematic connections are there. Because of that, this mock-up of Todd McFarlane’s iconic Spider-Man #1 (1990) done up as an AC comic is pitch-perfect. It’s one of several classic comic book covers re-done to feature the video games…

The Schedule For the Next 10 Spider-Man Movie Reboots

For people over the age of 10, this year’s Spider-Man movie re-boot seems to have emerged rather quickly. Wasn’t it just a decade ago that we got the last “first” Spider-Man movie? It was. Well, technically, it’s been 3,714 days, which is closer to 10 years and two months. I’d like to tell you when…

How the Spider-Man Game Picks Up on the Spider-Man Movie’s Missing Threads

Spoiler alert: If you haven’t seen or played the new Amazing Spider-Man movie or game yet, don’t read any further. Seriously. Remember all those The Amazing Spider-Man promos? The ones that teased something mysterious lay in Peter Parker’s past, specifically the fates of his long-dead parents? It sure seemed like the newest movie reboot of…

The Amazing Spider-Man: The Kotaku Review

There probably hasn’t ever been a superhero who hasn’t gone through the cycle of losing his/her powers, getting them back and becoming more powerful than ever. It’s been the same for video game series devoted to costumed crimefighters. With Rocksteady Studios’ Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, Batman’s currently enjoying the best titles ever made in…

The Amazing Spider-Man Marketing Team Has it So Easy

I bet the folks that do public relations and marketing for innovative and thoughtful games like From Dust and Journey spend days and days brainstorming inventive ways to communicate complex ideas in ways that appeal to the consumer. Meanwhile The Amazing Spider-Man UK marketing team nipped off early after putting in an order for footy…

This Amazing Spider-Man Figure is Pretty…Yeah

Hot Toys’ upcoming Amazing Spider-Man piece, based on the utterly needless reboot of a franchise whose last film was only released five years ago, looks great, covering the bones of a 12″ action figure in spandex/lycra/whatever this Spider-Man is wearing so that you can’t actually see it’s a figure. That’s the pro! And now the…

Insanity, Urination and Other Things to Watch Out for in The Amazing Spider-Man

While we continue our review-aimed adventure with the new Peter Parker under, over and through the streets of New York, here are some of the fun features of The Amazing Spider-Man you can expect to experience in the game’s earliest moments. I’d make a joke here about crazy people urinating and the authentic New York…

The Amazing Spider-Man Film is… Well… Amazing!

Japan loves Spider-Man. I mean they LOVE him. It’s not the same with other American superheroes—Batman, Superman, and most of the recent Marvel movies tend to do poorly in at the Japanese box office. Even Avengers didn’t get a major push in the Japanese media until after it proved to be a financial success in…
