DC’s ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Statues Feature Buff Dudes, Latex Objectification.
I’m happy to see that DC has done the honorable thing and put Anne Hathaway-As-Catwoman’s likeness into one of the most erotic poses possible in their line of Dark Knight Rises statues. I’d hate for them to totally just have her come off strong and not ready to troll hog.

DC Officially Unveils ‘Secret Identity’ Logos. Still Awful.
DC has officially unveiled the “Secret Identity” logos that were leaked earlier this week courtesy of trademark filings. Oh! Now it all makes sense. The logo is “peeling away” to reveal the character’s identity and..and..vomit.

Video: ‘Moves Like Batman’ Is Maroon 5 Parody That Justifies Levine’s Existence.
I’m not saying the only reason I would have watched The Voice is to see one of the mechanical chairs malfunction, catch fire, and morph into a cyborg that gnash Adam Levine into muck and bone marrow, but that’s the only reason I would have watched it. So while I generally loathe Adam Levine and Maroon 5, I can get behind this parody.
Variant Covers: Ignite The Brandon Graham 2K12 Mindwarp!
Variant Covers. This is the venue for me to wank to the comic books dropping in a particular week that I’m interested in. It’s generally capes heavy, because when I was younger I myself was heavy. As always, you folk are encouraged to share the shit you’re checking out this week. Peep the deets at ComicsList. It’s show and tell without the creepy Uncle and lollipops. Bummer about the lollipops, agreed.

No, I’m not going to bash JL as usual just because it’s a Geoff Johns post! In fact, I rather enjoy this insight of his into how working under the consideration that his work will be going digital affects how he approaches the writing process.
Estimates: Marvel Edges Out DC For Top Spot. Take That, New 52!
According to wonderful scientific estimates churned out by eggheads in wunder-laboratories, Marvel regained the top spot in December comic sales. Thankfully!, thankfully without Avengers X-Sanctioned taking the top spot. ‘Cause that comic fucking sucked.

There’s! There’s! There’s comic books dropping this week. As per every week, lest the Good Lords strike me dead. I can’t fathom living in a world without the weekly comic book shuffle. Snag the rags, dissect the diegesis and party until my pants come off. This is Variant Covers, the column where I blather about the funny books dropping this week that are keeping my sanity afloat.
DC Comics Is Named One Of America’s Hottest Brands. Well Done, ‘New 52’.
Whatever misgivings I have with the DC Reboot-Relaunch-Refried Beans, it’s a success. The company is crushing it in sales (though I’m sure Economist Wizards have found ways to dismiss this, frankly numbers are above my head), and they’ve also been named one of My Country Tis Of Me’s hottest brands.
