Novelty super hero kicks are all well and good in the kids aisle, but it's always nice when higher-end sneakers find their way into the big kids sections - especially when they're from a company like Airwalk, which I trusted to keep my feet on the skateboards I routinely fell off of throughout my clumsy youth...

One aspect of comic book culture that has its fair share of pluses and minuses is cosplay. While some costumes are terrifically inventive, others are just flat out terrible both in terms of design and respect for the person wearing it. Indeed, there are both clunkers and winners out there in the company manufactured and homemade costume departments - and we've got the rundown on both...

Inspired by Atomic Robo's regular sessions of slaying monsters (both literal and figurative) with science, one enterprising costumer has crafted an impressive AR casing - and as a childhood barber of mine used to say after sculpting many of my bowl cuts, "he's ready for the dance...

Just a little longer than a week after Berta's initial t-shirt sightings were confirmed by photo evidence on Twitter, Anthony Clark's Nedroid stars have finally become available for purchase over at TopatoCo. There are currently two Ne droid t-shirt flavors available: a Bertato-faced brown tee and a Reginald-themed "Dare Master" shirt in yellow...

Ever since Nedroid creator Anthony Clark revealed that he'd been "...working with a well-known Webcomics company to start offering some merchandise..." when we hit him up earlier this month, fans have been speculating that Jeffrey Rowland's TopatoCo would be the place to be to score some Beartato and Reginald merch...

Brutal justice goes bob-bob-bobbing along in the new "Don't Call Me Robin" t-shirt from Woot, merging the classic Batman and Robin duo into one ultimate avian crimefighter. Personally, I'm surprised they didn't try to make him a Dark Nightingale...

I do not have children. The closest I've gotten to fatherhood is being the co-owner of two hilarious cats. But if I had the power to magically transform my kitties into kiddies, I'm likely to go to Japan for my baby gear. Why, you ask? Because of Bandai and their wonderful Bandai baby clothes...

It's been a few weeks since her wins at The Grammys, but folks across the comic book community are still musing over Lady Gaga's glittery hat, which Totalylookslike.com has branded a stand-in for Superman's Fortress of Solitude. That conclusion got us thinking: What other comic book friendly locations would make good headwear for one of pop music's biggest icons...
