Our friends at ComicsAlliance got a tip last week on an excellent modded umbrella: the Bat-Umbrella. Realistically, it seems like it would do a pretty haphazard job of deflecting the rain on a cold, wet night in Gotham City. But that seems like a small price to pay for an umbrella this awesome. Besides, we'd probably spend a lot more time thrusting it at people and making proclamations about how ...

There are a lot of crappy comics out there, but our friends over at ComicsAlliance have gone digging through their long-boxes for the very bottom of the barrel in putting together their 15 Worst Comics of the Decade. These include such spectacularly terrible highlights as the comic detailing the sex romps of Spider-Man's kindly old Aunt May, a scantily-clad bimbo teaming up with the ghosts of 9/11 ...

The Christmas holiday is nigh, and our friends over at ComicsAlliance have been counting down the days to Santa's arrival by asking comic book artists to reinterpret the classic 12 Days of Christmas with a nerdy twist. So far this has inspired images like 10 Lord Vaders a-Leaping, 8 Supermaids a Milking, 7 Bella Swans a Swimming, and our personal favorite, 2 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtledoves, with ...

The comic book world recently welcomed "Dante's Inferno," a book based on a video game that is based on a 14th century poem. That's kind of insane. Our friends at ComicsAlliance wondered what might happen if other classic literature and poetry were adapted into popular video games -- and those were adapted again into comics. Think "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" as part of the Mario franchise, ...

The powers of some superheroes are flashier than those of others. A few, however, are straight up weird. Our friends over at ComicsAlliance collected a list of particularly bizarre abilities that includes a guy who transforms into a flying saucer, a futuristic teen who fights crime by taking his arms off and a Nazi scientist composed of bees. Oh, and they also threw on that one time when Superman ...

Last week,Titan Publishing announced it will be making at least 20 issues worth of World Wrestling Entertainment comics that will apparently explore Wrestlemania's historical ties to King Arthur and his Round Table. According to our friends at ComicsAlliance, the first issue of "WWE Heroes" has a cover that involves the Undertaker and John Cena fighting zombies and leopardmen with baseball bats. ...

In honor of the tradition of awkwardly watching football with your family on Thanksgiving, Comics Alliance gave a shout out to "Superpro," the story of an NFL player/superhero -- and also one of the worst comic books ever made. Created essentially to get its author free tickets to football games, Superpro gets his powers from --and we are not kidding -- inhaling the fumes of a chemical fire that ...

Produced yearly during the 1990s as an alternative to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, the Marvel Swimsuit Specials were essentially books of pin-ups. Superheroes and villains apparently decided to chill out for a week, wear almost no clothing and catch some rays before they got back to beating the hell out of each other. They barely make sense, but are a ridiculously wonderful thing to ...

The shameless cash-grab, comic book biography of "Twilight" creator Stephenie Meyer is out, and it is one of the worst things in the world. So bad, it makes "Twilight" look good. Hell, it makes "Twilight" look like "War and Peace." The primary problem: Stephenie Meyer is incredibly boring. We can sum up her entire life in twenty words. Watch: "Stephenie Meyer grew up in the Southwest, got ...

If you're not familiar with the "Tarot" softcore comic books -- a magical world of mystery, haunted vaginas, and boots with giant metal dildos on the sides -- then you've been missing out on something special. Learn more about the series, "Tarot" creator Jim Balent, and his wife, who married him in a Star Wars-themed wedding where she wore Princess Leia's metal bikini and he was dressed as Darth ...
