Culture Buzz Apparently the fictional world has become more tolerant than the real one. First DC announces this and now one of the X-Men is marrying his long time boyfriend. Congrats NorthStar and Kyle!
Culture Buzz And not some half-formed, new hero to appease their diversifying audience. Who in the DC stable of characters do you think is the most likely candidate?

It's amazing how all of the comic book icons have been around for half a century or more. But why did Batman (1939) and Superman (1938) endure when all of the other comic book characters from that era were forgotten?
You wish your vacations to find yourself were this epic. Hulk #7.1 makes me want Bruce Banner's travel agent's phone number.
Celebrity Buzz Over the weekend, Shia LaBeouf made a surprise appearance at the C2E2 comics convention in which he signed copies of his self-published comics.

Culture Buzz That's my head canon and I'm sticking to it. Marvel pre-released these images from the Fantastic Four #17 where they've unexpectedly sacrificed Peter Parker and Johnny Storm to the whims of fangirls everywhere.
TV Buzz Kevin Smith has a new reality series on AMC called “Comic Book Men.” It's pretty much “Mallrats” meets “Pawn Stars” meets “High Fidelity.” Haven't heard of it yet? Here's everything you need to know before the series premieres on Sunday.
Culture Buzz If you want to play catch-up with the in-depth interviews/makeshift therapy sessions on “WTF With Marc Maron”, here're some of the finer points made by the funny people on the podcast.
Culture Buzz Here are some comics Aziz Ansari made with lyrics from Jay Z's and Kanye's “Watch The Throne” album. The zebra one is my personal favorite.

This is pretty damn clever.
Culture Buzz Dustin Nguyen is a comics artist who's worked with DC and WildStorm since 2000. When left to his own devices, he tends to draw mini versions of our favorite comic heroes and villains. I actually own a few of his prints myself! I go to too many comic-conventions. (Via The Uniblog)
Lucy Knisley is at it again with her cute and hilarious comics based off Harry Potter books. Only one more comic left. Can't wait!

Culture Buzz Harry Potter and comics! Two of my favorite things together at last. Lucy Knisley did an excellent job of retelling the series with her quirky and hilarious illustrations. If you're too lazy to read the books and have no patience to watch the movies, here's the quickest way to learn the storyline of Harry Potter. It's like magic!
Culture Buzz It's not just the movies that consider a reboot every five years to be healthy. The X-Men have been around since 1963 and have gone through so many iterations it's ridiculous. This month Marvel waxed nostalgic by showcasing costume designs through the years as the variant covers on different comics. Hence why the names don't match the images.
Contrary to how this may appear, this is not of an awkward adolescent Calvin (it's another comic strip kid). However, according to his people this oil painting is indeed the first artwork from the legendary Bill Watterson in more than a decade.
Culture Buzz Worth seeing for Bill Cosby's superhero sweater outfit alone. All from the series “Sitcomics” by artist Stephen Emond.
