Marvel and 1928 Jewelry Co. Launches Superheroic Jewelry Collection [link]

Just in time for the release of The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man films, Marvel Comics collaborated with 1928 Jewelry Co. to launch a jewelry and accessories collection inspired by some of Marvel’s finest heroes, including Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, The Punisher, and Wolverine.

Check out the Marvel x 1928 Jewelry collaboration on ComicsAlliance!

I currently have my eye on the Spider-Man Web Bracelet & Spider Ring and the Thor Charms Crystal Dangle Earrings. Which items in the collection are you coveting?

Batman Hot Pants 3 Pack, $19.50, Hot Topic.

This set of Bat-unmentionables offers everything that you could ever want from a pair of super-skivvies: studs, glow-in-the-dark Bat-symbols, and trompe-l’oeil utility belts. One could only hope that these undies also prevent VPL under a Kevlar-lined bodysuit…

Marvel and Benefit Cosmetics’ ‘SpyGal’ Sports Gorgeous Phil Noto Artwork [link]

Benefit Cosmetics is combining forces with Marvel Comics to launch a comic book inspired by Benefit’s beauty products, entitled SpyGal. Marvel assembled the team of acclaimed writer James Asmus (Uncanny X-Men, Captain America) and masterful artist Phil Noto (Batgirl, X-23) to bring SpyGal to life in this beautiful limited edition release, which will be available on Benefit Cosmetics makeup counters everywhere this month.

Obviously we’re big Phil Noto fans around here, so Marvel was kind enough to hook us up with some high resolution versions of the SpyGal promo material that was distributed last week. Check out more shots of the SpyGal comic on ComicsAlliance!

Harley Quinn Dolman Top, $24.50, Hot Topic.

Holy moly, I nearly plotzed when I saw this shirt! I love the loose, modern cut of this top, plus it’s free of cheesy slogans that are often slapped onto comic tees for ladies.

ComicsAlliance Demos Converse’s Customizable DC Comics Sneakers [link]

As the latest installment in the DC Comics x Converse collection, Converse launched today its Design Your Own DC Comics Chuck Taylor All Star shoes campaign, featuring mix-and-match custom shoe design options that include Batman, The Joker, Catwoman, and The Riddler. This exclusive feature allows the customer to design their own shoe by offering a selection of customizable parameters, including the color/print of the canvas, emblems, rubber soles, lining, and even a personalized heel strip.

Converse offered me the opportunity to demo the entire Design Your Own DC Comics Chuck Taylor All Stars process early, and I tweaked every single design parameter to utter purrfection. Check out my review of the product and process and the un-boxing photos of my combative kicks on ComicsAlliance!

I spy Cyclops!

These quirky, novelty sunglasses by Eyepster are the perfect accessories for those of us who want to read comics in the Summer sun (though I can’t guarantee their ability to restrain optic blasts). These specs are currently 50% off until this Thursday (May 17) - be sure to head over to Fab ASAP to grab a pair for yourself!
