In 2009 it moved from the alien-like aesthetic it had embraced for a decade to something more industrial and reminiscent of an 80s supercar .

In the months leading up to its launch, DC Comics touted its new Black Label imprint as a part of its publishing arm where big-name comics creators could tell bold, mature stories about its heroes, exploring aspects of their lives that more mainstream titles tend not to. Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo’s Batman: Damned made the biggest splash, in part, because a few panels featured a full...

Tomica time, Land of the Rising Sun-day, once again only for the origin of the model. This is Tomica F34-1, the Citroen SM. This casting entered the range in November 1977, remaining until February 1983, and contains the expected Gallic design splendor, and then some:

But one of the coolest recent wacky castings is the “NEW FOR 2015” Loopster. Loopster is Hot Wheels’ rendition of a roller coaster cart.

If you’re the kind of person who uses a little creativity when organizing the apps on your iPhone or iPad—by icon color, for example—it might be time to take your device’s look to the next level. Sure, you can name your folders something descriptive and/or witty, like “yellow” instead of the category of the apps found within it, but here’s a trick you can use to ditch folder names...

Anthony Michael Hall is joining the cast of Riverdale for a flashback episode called, appropriately enough, “The Midnight Club.” In the episode he’ll be joined by the parents of our beloved crew when they were teenagers.

Interestingly enough, many of Riverdale’s stars will play the younger...

So, I’m late because I had a lot of fun hanging out with my friend who visited. Now I am inspired by this app called Adventure Capitalist where I spend the day pretending I am rich in a quick and speedy and pretty easy app. It’s kind of like How I used to like that boardgame, PayDay or in general, all the fun games that celebrate Capitalism. So in that vein, let’s talk about these games like...

God bless the quiet dignity of Shea Whigham’s Thomas Carrasco. The man can get the runaround from practically everyone he speaks to, endure gentle mockery and sneering condescension alike, but still stand stolid in the face of such scorn—and even hang up on his boss mid-dressing down. You go, Thomas.

The constant cross-cutting between...

On Martha's Vineyard and in Nantucket, Kevin Esvelt, an evolutionary biologist at MIT, has proposed fighting Lyme disease using genetically engineered mice.

I think this is the angriest pigeon in San Diego. I saw him during Comic Con at a trolley station.

I still have panels I want to talk about but I thought I’d take to-day to talk about more miscellaneous Con matters. I packed a lunch every day of the Con and on Thursday and Saturday I enjoyed watching some live, violent mediaeval melee while I ate.

Like every year, the Society for Creative...
