Robert Downey Jr. is back as the hip, fast-talking Tony Stark in Iron Man 3 ($35 for the 3D Blu-ray set), and this time he faces an enemy known simply as The Mandarin, whose origin may or may not involve being raised in a radioactive Mandarin orange grove. Either way Iron Man is clearly gonna be up for a little orange crush, as his main squeeze Pepper Potts (Gwyenth Paltrow) tries to keep Stark from falling into a pit of despair. Does Iron Man still have the juice? (I hate myself.)
If you plan on hauling ass to see Man of Steel when it opens later this week, perhaps the best way to haul said ass would be in the new Man of Steel edition of RAM’s Power Wagon truck. The body matches Superman’s new darker look with Dark Ceramic Gray paint, a vinyl wrap, and a high-gloss black roof. You’ll find Superman logos in place of the traditional Ram badges, with Superman-themed materials on the inside as well.
It was only a couple of months ago that we enjoyed seeing Superman brush his teeth and Batman making out with Robin. Now artist Greg Guillemin is back with more candid behavior from our favorite tough guys in tights with Secret Life of Superheroes Art Prints Series 2. See Wonder Woman enjoying a banana, the Hulk rolling a joint, or Spidey grabbing crotch; because the comics only tell half of the story.
We’re all used to comic books oozing more colors than a double rainbow, but sometimes a little black and white is what’s needed to class up a man cave. Look no further than these Superhero Noir Posters by artist Marko Manev. Batman, Spider-man, Captain America, and more are beautifully depicted in silhouette form. Word is they asked Aquaman if he wanted to pose for a portrait, but he accidentally typed his reply in goldfish, so…
If you were severely disappointed by the lack of teeth-brushing scenes in The Dark Knight films, you’re not alone. Luckily here comes artist Greg Guillemin, skipping along into our lives with the cure for what ails us. His prints, The Secret Life of Superheroes, showcase Batman, Superman, Spiderman, and Wonder Woman doing some pretty mundane stuff. Supes pickin his nose, Spidey chomping on a burger, Batman making out with Robin. See? Mundane!
Marvel fans have been gleefully riding a pink bubbly wave of orgasmic joy over the last decade with all the nifty comic book flicks hitting their eyeballs. Now they can corral a bunch of them in one handsome collector’s package.
