Marvel’s Create Your Own Comic service is obviously for kids, but since when has that stopped you. You’re the guy who plays with Legos and collects Star Wars figures right?

It’s a free online app that allows you to choose your page layouts and drag and drop your favorite Marvel heroes into each panel. Then you can add text, sound effects objects and other stuff for your 4-part series epic.

Coveroo has announced their latest update to their line of laser engraved backplates for cellphones and Blackberries. New HighColor printing processes will be used for accuracy and some brilliant color. The design won’t fade, rub off or get dirty like skins.

You can swap out your existing backplate fo a custom one from Coveroo’s catalog of licensed brands. Everything from vintage images of Beverly Hills 90210 to Resident Evil. You can also get the new Marvel Collection and NBA logos, which will be the first to be using this new color technology. The Marvel characters are Wolverine, Hulk, Captain America, Spiderman, and Thor.

Oh China, why do you hurt us so with your unlicensed cheap knock-off products? This one really hurts my eyes. The phone is bad enough, but the packaging also shows a scene from the worst Spiderman movie ever. Spider Man 3. That’s the one where he went all emo and girlly.

The Spider-Phone has a 2 Megapixel camera, a swivel color display, a microSD card slot and dual SIM card slots. It supports GSM 800/900/1800/1900 networks and is priced at HK$1180 (US$152). What are the odds that we’ll see a Goblin phone to accompany this?

The time may be close at hand when you can peruse Marvel comics on your cell phone. The comics industry had to embrace it someday, sales being what they are. I’m just wondering how they are going to deal with such a small screen. They may just offer snippets that give you the whole story, or let you view a frame at a time. But are comics any good viewed in that way?

I mean, is that kind of severe eye strain worth finding out whether Spiderman beat his latest foe? Or if Wolverine finally bagged Jean Grey? A better bet might be to subscribe to Marvel’s online service that costs between $5 to $10 monthly. Still, anything that brings geeks together with comics is a good thing.
