Comics are fun and colorful, so you’d expect the 404 error pages of comics publisher websites to be a little more interesting than most error pages. That’s not the case, though.

I followed a link from my feed reader to Marvel’s website and it turns out it was broken. I didn’t mind because I saw a familiar face from Peter Milligan’s run on X-Force: Doop!

Because I have the heart of a super investigative blogger, I naturally felt the urge to check out the 404 error pages of other comics publisher websites. Is it necessary for you to know what these pages look like? No. Will I still show them to you? Yes. Why? I don’t know.

When I’m not working or dicking around the Internet or thinking about a rap battle between Skeletor and the Red Skull, do you know what I’m doing? I’m making comic book wallpapers. Whether it’s comic book covers, pages, panels or promo pieces, if I am awesomed by it, I wallpaperize it. I thought I’d share some of the comic book wallpapers I made with you right now because, I don’t know, it’s Friday? And by “made” I mean “cropped, resized and modified a little with Photoshop”. Just click on the image, click the Expand to Original Size button, right-click the image and choose Save As to download that bitch to your computer.

I doubt all the questions of fans, retailers, creators and other publishers will be answered immediately, but it wouldn’t hurt if I wonder out loud. Let’s begin with the most important question in my mind right now.

Because nobody demanded it, a new blog series! In this new series, I shall cover (hyuk! hyuk!) awesome comic book covers just because. This is exactly the same kind of dickery I pulled in Face Rockery with the blog series Face-Rocking Covers. So yeah, this is basically me making fun of comic book covers. High five?

For this inaugural Cover Carnival entry, we’ll be looking at a few covers of Batman. Unless you were living under a stupid rock (I mean, who does that? Really.) for the last year, you’ll understand why I find Batman covers to be appropriate for this initial offering. The Dark Knight spelunked (New word!) into theaters last week and Batman is understandably in everybody’s consciousness right now. This is how I’m celebrating this most awesome of awesome movies.

The Bat-Signal. ON THE MOON. And it’s daylight where the signal is coming from. Think about that for a moment, will you?
