What? Superman renounces his United States Citizenship?! Interesting. Considering Obama has to prove he has American Citizenship. Maybe Batman should talk some sense into Superman.
Today, Marvel Comics announced it's a crossover series for Marvel Comics books this Spring. It's called Civil War. Read the Comics Alliance linked below.
Some people have great talent for cosplay. This guy is one of them. An awesome job building War Machine armor. I want one.
Such is the case with Anthony Le's War Machine armor, which won "first place" and "best in show" at the Starfest 2010 Costume Contest. This guy's War Machine outfit, based on the character's "Iron Man 2" suit, allegedly took about one month and more than $4,000 to build (notice I said "allegedly", it's not like we saw this guy's receipts). Now before you all say, "wait, it's nice but it's not THAT impressive," let me explain. The eye slits of the helmet and the arc repulsor generator actually GLOW, the shoulder gun ACTUALLY SPINS and the helmet actually OPENS AND CLOSES with the push of a button just like in the movie. Seriously!
According to Popsci, "[Anthony Le] used thin, high-impact urethane for the armor, cutting it into plates and joining them with some 1,500 rivets and washers. He sculpted a clay helmet mold and then used a liquid resin mix to create the final product. But that was just cosmetic work. He also added a small servo motor that opens the faceplate, as in the movie, and built a gun out of pipes and a motor. LEDs in the eyes and chest-plate further add to the illusion."
Comics Alliance reports that Batman's first comic appearance auctions at a price higher than Superman's first appearance. Can't say that I'm surprised. Here is the short article:
Less than a week after Superman's first appearance in "Action Comics" #1 sold at auction for a record-setting $1,000,000, the Beat is reporting that "Detective Comics" #27, the first appearance of Batman, has shattered that record with a Bruce Wayne-sized $1,075,000 price tag, thus ensuring that Comics Retailers are going to have a fun week dealing with people demanding their million for copies of 1992's "Batman: Shadow of the Bat" #1.
Presumably, this all comes down to the fact that in today's economy, a mild-mannered reporter just can't keep up with a billionaire playboy. But whoever ended up buying this one, we here at ComicsAlliance have some bad news: You got totally ripped off. Our copy of "The Batman Chronicles" v.1 has Batman's first appearance and fifteen other stories, and we picked it up at our local shop for $14.99.
