4. Best Toy – Scoliosis Superman
Poor Superman clearly has a very dangerously curved spine, at least according to this toy he does. I see this extreme arch of his back and all I can think is “that man is going to slip a disc next time he lifts something heavy.” Personally, I always assumed that Superman’s superior musculature would give him near-perfect posture, but according to this figure he arches his back quite aggressively. He contrasted nicely with the stylized, super-blocky little Justice League nearby, all straight lines and sharp corners.

I never dreamed Max was so hairy. Is that a parademon Barda is standing on, or Etrigan?

It’s really annoying to page through this many pages when the individual entires are as short as this, guys. It’s why I don’t visit Newsarama much anymore.

Eurgh, more multipage articles. Are you really that desperate for pageviews?

Surprised that Neil Gibson’s Twisted Dark booth poster isn’t mentioned. It was particularly impressive!
As I rounded one corner, the haunting smiling face hit me like a ton of bricks. I simply couldn’t stay away. The books are mightily good value – $5 for a whole graphic novel! Insanely good!
