Iceman Should Really Be in These Superhero Winter Olympics Drawings
Silver Surfer tricking off of Galactus’ head is cool but, come on, Bobby Drake is the gold medalist of doing cool stuff in/with cold weather, right? These drawings comes from superstar comics artist Francesco Francavilla, who’s doing that gruesome Afterlife with Archie series and the excellent superhero pulp noir The Black Beetle among others.

Gaming Controller…Thing Looks Like Alien Torture Device (In A Good Way)
The Sinister is a gaming controller…thing currently up on Kickstarter that looks, well, nothing like a gaming mouse. The idea is similar to that of R.A.T.7, which got an A for effort but a C- for comfort. The Sinister looks to get around that by not being slightly customisable, but entirely customisable. You can pivot,…

From Conan To Mr. T, 80s Action Stars Are Spilling Blood In Broforce
Broforce. It’s been so longsince we last spoke, but in that time, you’ve been stocking up on explosions, increasing the volume and lifting. Bro. I kinda think the name does the game a slight disservice. It suggests a game of hulking men with popped collars, watching college sports and being assholes. Instead, Broforce is a…

Maybe A Pokémon MMO Wouldn’t Be As Awesome As We Think
Okay, let’s say Game Freak decides to take the plunge and finally give us the Pokémon MMO that so many people clamor for. It would be amazing! …or so we hope. While obviously lots of things about a Pokémon MMO would be great, it’s kind of funny to think about the crappy things that could…

1960s Batman Valentine’s Day Cards Are Weirdly Awesome
Batman is no stranger to love. He hugs people and things sometimes. (Usually after something bad happens, though.) So Valentine’s Day stuff with the Dark Knight’s likeness on it aren’t necessarily the worst merchandising idea. But these old cards featuring Batman, Robin and their enemies are, honestly, a little freaky. Found by cartoonist Mark Anderson,…
