TIME’s Techland Names Best Comics of the Decade

admin — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:23:23 +0000

TIME magazine’s geek blog, Techland, has listed their 10 Best Comics of the Decade, and I’ve gotta say, the list isn’t half bad. Two series that I’ve read religiously (Y: The Last Man & Invincible) made the list, as well as a couple of mainstream super hero books (All-Star Superman and The Ultimates).

Check out the full list here and stop into Alter Ego Comics to buy any of the comics listed.

First Ever Indiana Jones Diorama – Indy vs Mola Ram

admin — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 14:04:39 +0000

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is my second favorite Indy movie behind Raiders of the Lost Ark. It’s a dark, fun-filled ride, that has the distinction, (along with Gremlins), of being the film that convinced the MPAA to introduce the PG-13 rating.

So, you can own a piece of film history with the first ever Indiana Jones Diorama (fancy word for statue) from Sideshow Collectibles – Indiana Jones vs Mola Ram from the Temple of Doom.

Each piece is individually painted
Measures 16.5 inches high x 14 inches wide x 9 inches long
Edition size to be determined
Only available for a limited time

Add this amazing sculpture to your collection. Click here to order the Indiana Jones vs Mola Ram Diorama at Alter Ego Comics.

Take Flight with the Rocketeer Premium Format Figure

admin — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 20:57:44 +0000

The Rocketeer is the creation of writer/artist Dave Stevens, and first appeared in comic book form in 1982. Less than 10 years later, Disney released a live-action film of the Rocketeer, which many believe to be one of the most faithful visual adaptations of a comic series ever put to film.

Sideshow Collectibles has announced the Rocketeer Premium Format Figure, scheduled to ship in mid-2010. This stunning collectible:

Stands 19 inches tall
Features a real fabric costume
Hand-painted and individually numbered
Edition size to be determined
Only available for a limited time

Everyone wants a piece of Tony Stark, right? Now fans of the Iron Man movie can have their very own replica of the Iron Man Arc Reactor from the film – the makeshift power supply that is hooked up to an electromagnet that keeps Stark alive. Based directly off the actual movie prop and with reference from Stan Winston Studio’s, we bring you Tony’s “heart” as given to him by his thoughtful assistant Pepper.

Iron Man Arc Reactor Replica

Perhaps the most iconic prop from the smash hit movie, no expense was spared to replicate the details exactly- from the machined metal parts and copper wire to the high intensity LED’s you’ll own the definitive prop from this storied franchise and Marvel hero. Arc unit is approx 4-1⁄2″ x 4-1⁄2″ and made from machined aluminum, stainless steel, custom molded plastic and is removeable from the stand. LED’s take 4 AA batteries (not included) with a cool burn time of approx. 8-10 hours. Includes plexiglass display case and full color certificate of authenticity.
