The Comics Factory Helps You Become a Super You

So it's dirty confession time. For as much as every superhero movie geek creams in their pants over him, I really can't stand Christian Bale as Batman. That raspy voice that is one part Suzanne Pleshette, one part strained vocal chords completely drives me crazy. He annoys me so much I can't bring myself to see Dark Knight Rises for knowing that I'd have to endure Bale.

So instead, I just sit around and cast the remakes overs beers with buddies and in what is the dorkiest (but completely true) scenarios- the more beers the easier convinced I am that I would be the biggest, baddest, most kick-ass superhero of them all. Never mind that I punch like your abuela or that if I wore tights it would look like sausage casing. It's my drunken delusions and it doesn't have to make sense. (Trust me ladies, I'm not the only guy who thinks these things with one too many cervezas.) The uber-cool thing is, now this image need not only live in my clouded brain, for Hollywood has come to the rescue!

The Hollywood I'm referring to isn't full of shattered dreams, smog and hookers...no, this is the much closer one that's just full of German and Canadian snowbirds. For within its hallowed city limits, is the studio of The Comic Factory who work to turn your ideas of superhero grandeur into amazing pieces of art that would make Stan Lee shout "Excelsior" in pleasant surprise.

Whether you want your face pasted on to Spider-Man's body (move out of the way Toby and Andrew) or would like to see your kid as a miniscule crusader, the talented team can make it happen. Founded in 2011 by Ana Sanchez and Assi Gal, the company has 10 full time artists on staff and an official seal of approval from Marvel. It all started when Sanchez and Gal's initial company, AllPopArt.com which makes artful paintings and illustrations based on customer photos, started introducing a 'put your face on a superhero' package. Soon the popularity grew and thecomicsfactory.com was born.
