Who Wears The Watchmen?

Apparentkly today is Wear Comics In Public Day. Sneaker design by BrassMonki. Oh and these aren’t bad either.

I gotta gets me some Air Rorschachs! Those Batman shoes on the other hand - swellegantly designed though they may be - conjure terrible memories of the days of the first Batman movie, '89 or so, and the terrible moment in fashion that was the high-top fade with the Bat symbol carved in the back.

The Damian shoes are kinda nice, though. Wouldn't ming using 'em to give that little punk a swift kick in the ass every now and then.

Batman and Robin Get Medieval in Knight and Squire





The Dark Knight’s across-the-pond iteration gets goofy with silly villains and gay jokes in the first issue of DC Comics’ hilarious Knight and Squire.
Previewing Friday on DC’s blog The Source and due in October, writer Paul Cornell and artist Jimmy Broxton’s London-based Batman and Robin are quite a hoot. The original Knight and Squire appeared in the ’50s. But after disappearing for the better part of five decades, the heroic British duo was eventually rebooted by — who else? — makeover maestro and comics god Grant Morrison.
But the task of reinventing the derivative supers is now left to Cornell and Broxton, who are probably having more fun than they should stuffing the pages of the Knight and Squire series with riotous heroes and rogues like The Milkman, Double Entendre and, of course, British Joker.

Isn't it about time we add Paul Cornell's name to our list of "buy-it-if-his-name-is-in-the-credits" list?
He's the next generation of crazy-talented, not afraid to have a huge ego about it, badass comics writer bringing new, Eurocentric ideas to our stagnant, American comics heroes.

And he's decades away from growing a scraggy beard, donning creepy biker rings, and practicing magic in the forests of England like the original British Invasion comics god whose name we dare not speak lest we risk invoking his wrath (no, seriously, Alan Moore thinks he's magic!).
