Stan Lee Reading Comics
Culture Buzz He really likes to say “The Incredible Hulk!” in as many voices as possible. Thanks to the power of technology it's now easier than ever to pretend that Stan Lee is your Grandpa, reading you a bedtime story.

A Marvel Christmas Story
Culture Buzz The artists at draw2d2 put a superhero spin on the American film classic “A Christmas Story” with a sweet series of illustrations. You know, had the Marvel Universe included tongue frost and Italian leg lamps in their mythos, I probably would have grown up a pretty hardcore comic book collector. (via http:)

Gambit Reboot Doomed…To Be Awesome
Culture Buzz Word to the wise; never ask the Internet for help. Fred Van Lente, who wrote Marvel Zombies and co-wrote Cowboys and Aliens, knows nothing about Gambit. But has been asked to write a comic about him. So he turns to the fans for advice. To expected results.

X-Men Costume Evolutions
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.

Image: Alien Races: Vegans
Found in a copy of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol. 1 from 1983. I sit across from a vegan and can confirm the bits about cowardliness and radiating anti-gravitons. (Jack also bears an uncanny resemblance to this Vegan.)

If DC Comics Published Marvel Comics
Culture Buzz Kind of an absurdly intricate “What if?”, but Kerry Callen wonders how Marvel Comics would have looked if they'd shared the focus on outrageous character scenarios that was the hallmark of DC Comics in the '60s. Probably don't think about it too much, but that fat Spiderman makes me sad. (From, via.)

Image: Obama in Spider-Man Comic
On January 14th, Marvel Comics is releasing #583 of Amazing Spider-Man, featuring our future POTUS on the cover. I guess you could say Peter Parker voted Democrat?

Image: Obama Meets Spider-Man
Obama is so geek chic that he gets his own Spider-Man story. Biden gets confused for a villain, which is funny, then terrorist fist-jabs ensue. Fun fact: only cool Presidents (FDR, JFK, and now BHO) get featured in Spider-Man comics.
