When Spider-Man and Batman share a subway car in Toronto, you have to wonder who screams, “My parents are dead!” best.
Speaking of the web-slinger, Peter Parker may be perpetually between 16 and 30, but his title turns 50 this year. In honor of a half a century of power and responsibility, Blastr checks out 50 great Spidey covers.
So, here’s pretty much all you need to know about Spider-Man, free from some of the more insane moments of the last 50 years. Image courtesy of Pedro Delgado, aka ‘thekidKaos.
Hey, remember that time a UK mayor accidentally dressed up as a male reproductive organ for an Olympic parade? Aren’t you glad you came to the Internet today?
Marvel announced that they’re going to do their first-ever universe-wide reboot, Marvel NOW, which is in no way prompted by DC’s New 52. TJ’s been thinking some thoughts about it, but what I’m really jazzed about is the apparent return of Marvel Girl, ugh, I mean Jean Grey.
Street artist(s?) “Bored” has/have turned the streets of Chicago into one big game of Monopoly. Now you can see the world as the banks do! (Topical, edgy humor!)
So this Higgs boson thing was pretty darn well confirmed to exist. PhD Comics explains what it is and why you should care.
Felicity lets you know what it’s like to be powerless in Appalachia (Spoiler: It’s hot, sticky, stinky, and exceptionally unfun.).
When Jeremiah McDonald was 12, he filmed himself talking to his future self. His present self found that tape and decided to respond.

NASA’s gushing that the panoramic Martian views for rover Opportunity are almost as good as being there. I contest that they are better since I can happily breathe unencumbered on Earth. Maybe that’ll teach XKCD to stop hurting NASA’s feelings.
Danny’s voice joins the confused chorus of gamers shouting, “Where’s the Steam summer sale?”
The trailer for Django Unchained is out, and we’re learning more about Samuel L. Jackson’s character, Stephen. As a good and decent Quentin Tarantino fan, I would instruct movie theaters across America to shut up and take my money.
Steve Martin’s career has had more reinventions than Madonna’s, but with more clothes, intelligence, and dignity. Still, Gabrielle felt like horsing around with him.
F. Stott Fitzgerald knew fantastic literature required lots of revision. That’s why these letters between he and his editor about his first submitted draft of The Great Gatsby are so enlightening.
Collider has a history of Pixar by the numbers, including the Rotten Tomatoes score of every movie. Got to wonder who the 1% was that gave Toy Story 3 a bad review and if the wizard ever gave them that heart they asked for.
That talking to his 12 year old self video was pretty funny. I’m also excited for Django Unchained.
