For all you folks who haven’t been able to attend the San Diego Comic Con, I’m sure you’ve been hitting your search engines with a vengeance to keep up with all the announcements — and Google knows it.
In honor of the San Diego Comic Con, the computer giant has gotten its geek on, with a customized Justice League Google icon drawn by the one, the only, Jim Lee:
But if that isn’t enough comic-related Google goodness, there’s more — iGoogle has also released more than 50 personalized backgrounds, ranging from Batman Reborn and Iron Man to TMNT and Oni Press.
Furthermore, Comic Con fever has also hit Twitter, suddenly blasting up the trending topics list, taking the Number One position from Taco Bell (whose chihuahua mascot died at the age of 15 yesterday), Jay-Z, Harry Potter, and perhaps most embarrassingly, #iranelection.

That’s very nice, but am I the only one getting sick of SDCC before it even starts?

nope not the only one

No Superman? Seems like an odd omission…

Yes. Yes you are.

Yeah man…Probably.

So Small To Look At! Nice to see Plastic Man being used:)

possibly a tease for a Jim Lee JLA comic coming some day?

Why the complaints? I thinks it great that the SDCC is getting so much coverage. Maybe it will bring in more readers. Man, why do fan boys always complain so much about everything?

Great to see Jim Lee teaming with Google on this. I wish I could see a larger version of the image though.

There’s a larger, higher-quality version of the image available at DC’s blog, The Source. http://dcublog.dccomics.com
