Marvel’s Comics On Mobile Phones = Win
8:05AM Brian Lam | Marvel Comics wants to port their comics to mobile phones. Seems like a perfect thing to read while you’re supposed to be paying attention to what’s going on around you, but sure how you’re going to get through full page spreads while maintaining text readability on 3-inch screens. …View digital distribution of our comics as an area of great growth potential…and also soon in mobile distribution…so they can read our new comic books on their mobile device… I’ve been using Marvel’s online subscription for a month now and the flash based player is a bit wonky at times, but overall, 10,000 back issues for $US5-$10 a month isn’t something to complain about.

Iron Man, Now Powered By LED Arc Reactor
4:20AM Mark Wilson | We know way better than to actually buy this 1:6 scale Iron Man “Fine Art Statue” that is coming this September, but we can’t help but ogle a bit. The model is a tiny replica of the Mark III armour according to Marvel’s specifications, and it will feature an LED-powered Unibeam, along with glowing LED eyes and Repulsor Ray palms. We hope you understand what we mean when we say that this thing isn’t worth US$179.99, but it’s totally worth US$179.99. [Entertainment Earth via Nerd Approved] More »
