Now that the hosepipe ban is over and that summer has finally pitched up, there's no better time to be powerfully and liberally propelling vast quantities of H2O all over the place, is there? Read More >>
If you're a gamer, you’ll know that there’s NOTHING worse than losing power in your controller mid-game. Seriously, nothing is worse – sores on your lips, the mistreatment of innocent horses, a long weekend in Tunbridge Wells. Read More >>

Ken Robichaud has created these awesome, full-sized Avengers props in Lego: Thor's Mjölnir, Captain America's shield, Hawkeye's bow and arrows and the Black Widow's thingamajigs. They are perfectly made. The arch even bends like the real thing! (nerdy scream). Read More >>
And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth's mightiest heroes and heroines found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, the Avengers were... deleted? Yes.

Hawkeye will defend the Earth using a bow and arrow in The Avengers. The summer Olympics will have awesome archery competitions to ogle. And the TV's newest superhero will pull back a bow on Green Arrow. Read More >>
Given my life-long love affair with Lego and my life-long love affair with the Avengers — Avengers #159 was the first comic book I remember buying as a little kid — it's no surprise that I get excited just by looking at this poster. Read More >>
