Forget the fuzzy slippers, or underwear. If you are going to give a loved one some cool clothing this holiday season, look no further than the Star Trek sneaker. The STPL x Airwalk Star Trek Terrain Starfleet Edition Hi Skate are available at Payless right now for $49.99, so you might want to head out now and pick up a pair or two (they come in gold, blue, and red) as Star Trek fans are sure to be beaming these up. via Trek Movie

If you’re thinking your comic book gifts lack a high price feel that comes from purchasing products at the most expensive stores, check out the Justice League shirt from Bloomingdale’s. The $39 tee-shirt is exclusive to the store, which is helping to celebrate DC’s 75th anniversary. Sizes range from Small to Extra Large, which may keep this gift off of the more portly fans wish list this year – unless of course a gym membership is also on the list of wants. via Bloomingdale’s
One of the more interesting DC Universe figures to arrive over the last couple of years, is the semi-transparent Chemo Collect & Connect figure from the Wave 9 collection. Originally, the insides of the brute was an empty shell, but Mattel had the good mind to try and create a liquid effect, and filled the fellow with plastic spheres. I like the new look, but it does bring up the possibility that some people might have the clear version of the figure and others might have the bubble filled one. For the action figure lover on your holiday list, stuffing…

Long before Star Wars featured Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and the rest, George Lucas envisioned a completely different battle in the stars, and even went so far as to have Ralph McQuarrie whip up some character concepts. Those who have the Making Of… books have seen these designs floating around since the mid-80’s, but now, Star Wars fans can actually get their hands on actual action figures based on those designs. These sets are exclusives with Diamond Comic Distributors and Toys R Us, and have been out since the beginning of the month. Those who are really looking for a…

…with the trailer to a most awesome movie! I do not remember this trailer at all, but good to see many others are picking up on the November 5, 1955 meme, sweeping the Intardwebz today.
To celebrate the holiday, Marvel is releasing a free digital comic featuring Captain America and Spider-Man at the Gettysburg Address. This digital comic arrives hot on the heels of The Amazing Spider-Man #583, where Spider-Man met President Obama. “We were completely blown away by the overwhelming response to the Spidey Meets the President storyline. Comic book shops have not been able to keep it on shelves, so we thought it would a fitting way to celebrate President’s Day by offering free online access to all fans to view and read the storyline – including some exclusive new content – only…
