Quote of the day: Nick Gazin on CAGES
This book reminds me of the past, but not in a wistful, thinking-back-on-your-first-time-getting-laid way. It’s more a first-time-getting-caught-jerking-off-by-your-mom sensation.

Marvel vs. Tokidoki
While we were out and about in NYC's Soho the other night, we also snapped some pics of the Tokidoki store, bedecked with adorable images from their Marvel line of T-shirts, hoodies, hats, and skateboards. It's been out for a while, but that doesn't mean it's any less cute, especially that Silver Surfer.
DC's 75th anniversary marked by huge tome
We had a few moments to stop by a signing for 75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking last night, and snapped a picture of author Paul Levitz, DC's Steve Korte, and Taschen Art Director Josh Baker. I have seen a lot of books about comics, but I have never seen a more beautiful one than this -- the reproductions are incredibly crisp and vibrant, and there are double page pull-outs, charts and even a chromium insert to mark the "modern age." With the text, Levitz proves that if knowing everything there is to know about a company's history qualifies you to run that company, he was the best qualified president in history.

Fantagraphics vs Cool Guy
This profile of the Seattle Fantagraphics store in a college newspaper gives us all a chance to admire their gold leaf signage, but it also presents yet another example of the eternal conflict of art and people with mustard in their goatees as they argue the merits of graphic novels in bookstores and what that means for bathroom privileges.
