Hasta La Gadget!

If you haven’t tried on some Nike LeBron X, then you’re missing out on some super-comfortable shoes. That being said, if you’re looking for something unique, and Nike ID doesn’t do it for you, check out these customs. They are quite amazing.

The Nike LeBron X Jaded Hulk custom sneaker uses a “Cutting Jade” colorway as its base. From there on, sneaker customizer Chef from GourmetKickz included Bruce Banner’s torn garments and a gradient on the side panels and midsole. A purple tongue with custom insoles complete the look.

The Jaded Hulk customs don’t come cheap. You’ll have to pay $700(USD) and wait approximately 5 to 6 months for your sneakers. I’m sure that S.H.I.E.L.D. can afford to buy you a pair.

We’re all about superheroes around here today, and why not end the night with something truly awesome? What you’re looking at here is a cool Iron Man helmet design, dressed up with TRON-style electroluminescent lighting.

It was made by Sauer33, and it is truly a sight to behold (at least in the dark). He created the helmet design for an Instructables contest, though I’ve yet to be able to find the full gallery of pics. I’m guessing it’s not yet live on the site. Regardless, if I saw Iron Man flying through the night sky wearing this, I’d definitely feel even more intimidated. Just look at those red eyes. And that strong yellow jawline.

Given Tony Stark’s propensity for the theatrical, there’s no way he would turn down the opportunity to wear one of these helmets. The only thing better would be an entire set of light-up armor. I’m sure Mr. Stark could afford to build one.

Forget traditional circuses. That is so last century. What we need is a traveling show full of comic book legends. Well ask, and ye shall receive – Marvel has teamed up with Feld Entertainment to give us just that.

The two are making a $10 million investment into this idea. Feld has a lot of experience in this area. They have already produced Disney On Ice and Ringling Bros. So they know what they are doing when it comes to stuff under the Big Top. Really, how can you lose when you throw Superheroes into the mix?

The possibilities are endless here too. Think about how much mythology they have to work with. Maybe we will see classic storylines played out. Then again, maybe we will see the Hulk swinging from a trapeze, and Captain America with a clown nose. I hope not – I think this could be a great idea if done right.

Avengers Assemble! I said Avengers Assemble! Oh, I see you are working on it. Don’t hurry on my account. The world is only doomed. Looking at my watch. Nevermind, I’ll just call the X-Men. These Avengers snail amigurumis are adorable. They are just painfully slow.

Hulk smash? No, Hulk slime! You have all of the Avengers here in soft snail form and looking to cute to do battle with anyone. They are the work of Etsy seller Fallen Designs and will cost you $17-$20(USD) each.

They would look pretty amazing on your desk with your other toys. I would love to see this movie, although the running time would be about two minutes and it would end with the villain stomping these heroes into goo – or worse yet, pouring salt on them.

Yesterday Marvel announced that it was giving away 700 first-issue digital comic books through its own mobile app, as well as ComiXology’s mobile app. However, due to the incredibly high demand for the free comic books, Marvel and ComiXology have suspended the promotion for now. Servers were constantly crashing, which was disrupting the sale of all their comic books.

On ComiXology’s blog, CEO David Steinberger said that his team “expected a high degree of excitement for the Marvel initiative,” and while he thought that they were prepared for the promotion, they became “overwhelmed by the immense response.” In fact, they’re still trying to get their servers back up and running.

In the end, Steinberger notes that the server crashes were a hindrance to avid comic lovers getting the comic books they wanted right away, and until they can fix their servers and bolster them up for more traffic, ComiXology will be suspending the promotion. However, Steinberger says that those who haven’t yet taken advantage of the offer will still get their chance.

The company created a sign-up page where you can enter in your email address to get an email update when the promotion goes back online. ComiXology is a digital distribution partner with Marvel, and the company also powers both the Marvel comics app and its own standalone app, so the promotion is currently dead on both platforms until further notice.
