Brick Heroes

I was quite happy to get an e-mail today from Brick Will, a French AFOL. It turns out that for some time he's had a blog, Hoth Bricks, dedicated to Star Wars MOCs and official news. Then this July he was inspired by the announcement of the DC and Marvel licenses and he started Brick Heroes. It's in French, but with Google translate you can get a pretty good understanding (or maybe you should just learn French), but even without that he's got lots of great images. He's also been really great at ferreting out information about the upcoming line. I'll let you check out his blog for more on that. Anyway, a few months late, but I'm happy to welcome Brick Heroes to the intertubes. I'm sure I'll be checking there regularly.

I'd like to point you all to Burakki's Bricks, a blog devoted to custom minifigures. Several times in the past I've featured Burakki's great custom hero figs, like the ones below. Welcome to blogging, Burakki (okay, a couple of months late as this started earlier this summer). Hopefully we'll see lots of hero customs in the mix.

Pop quiz: When did LEGO announce their DC and Marvel licenses?



Here I am with a little niche blog, and suddenly we're sitting on the most exciting new theme (IMO, of course) since the first X-wing came out in 1999. Stay tuned here for all LEGO Super Heroes news, and be sure to tell your friends.

Welcome to ComicBricks

I grew up reading comic books. I also grew up playing with LEGO. This blog brings those two together. I'm not going to focus on people making their own LEGO comics, but rather those LEGO creations that are devoted to Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, etc, etc, etc. There are lots of great MOCs (My Own Creations, LEGO builders' term for something based on their own imaginations rather than a set of instructions) based on DC and Marvel characters, and to a lesser extent characters from other comics. There have also been official LEGO products based on Batman and Spider-Man licenses.

Those who know me are probably wondering why I'm starting another LEGO blog. Basically, I keep thinking that someone should start a blog along these lines, but no one does. I'm going to build this one up for a couple of months, and then see if someone is willing to come in as a co-blogger
