Like a Flash
Running around like the Flash (take your pick of Jay, Barry, Wally or Bart) trying to get things done today. I do plan to have a shipping list and commentary up sometime this afternoon! Thanks for your patience, dear Nerdage readers.

Apparently Marvel thought better of having Stephen Colbert as the fictional Marvel president — or this was just a wacky swerve all along.

Marvel.com has released a series of “buttons” encouraging voting (including one of the Canadian hero Wolverine, who I assume can’t vote in U.S. elections), concluding today with Captain America.
I encourage the U.S. readers of Nerdage (probably most of you?) to get out and vote today!

Happy Halloween!
Hope everyone’s Halloween is successful, and just as spooky as they want it to be.
Marvel is announcing additional online-only comics, after the success of their “Iron Man” and “Hulk” tie-ins. I’ll probably read the “Kid Colt.” Full release after the break.
The trailer for the next movie-riffing project by Joel Hodgson and the Cinematic Titanic gang.

Swimmer Michael Phelps won his eighth gold medal tonight in the 4X100 medley relay, setting a record for the most gold medals in a single Olympic Games. He set world records in 7 of the 8 races, and the one in which he didn’t — a 1/100th of a second victory over Serbia’s Milorad Cavic in the 100-meter butterfly — was a race that will live in Olympic lore.
Now that Phelps is done with his Olympic races, what’s next? Click past the cut for a few (not entirely serious) ideas.
If you happen to be reading Nerdage from San Diego (and, props to you if you are), you can see the author himself discussing comic book retail and the media at a ComicsPRO-sponsored panel Friday morning. The panel description:
