When I heard about an Oprah comic book, I snickered. Not the classiest reaction ever, but I thought it was kinda funny that Oprah had sort of already conquered the world, but now was going to be illustrated doing so in a cape. While I still think a caped crusader-style Oprah would be nifty, it turns out I got my original facts wrong. Oprah does not, in fact, star in her own comic book series, but is the cover girl of the comic book series “Female Force” September issue.

If you live under a rock, you might not be aware that “Watchmen” opens this weekend. Based on the comic book series of the same name, the superhero flick is set in the Cold War era of the ‘80s, a Doomsday world in which superheroes are more complex than heroic. Billy Crudup stars as Dr. Jon Osterman, a.k.a. Doctor Manhattan, a computer-generated superhero who glows a digital blue after a radioactive accident. (Check out the trailer here.) So, what’s the big deal? Well, Dr. Manhattan is causing a kerfuffle because he spends part of the movie totally naked. Now, movie critics are left figuring out how to describe the Dr.‘s dangle. A few of the best, after the jump.

Diane von Furstenburg’s Holiday 2008 collection is inspired by Wonder Woman, meaning there had to be a comic book to go along with the clothes. The limited-edition book “Be The Wonder Woman You Can Be: The Adventures of Diva, Viva and Fifa” is published by DC Comics, so it’s legit, and proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit Vital Voices, a non-profit dedicated to empowering women. Check out pages from the book here, then go out into the world and “Be the Wonder Woman You Can Be”; Wearing a DVF wrap dress while doing so is optional but will earn you bonus points.

So you know how there’s that saying, “Nice guys finish last”? Well, I’ve always had this theory that real nice guys don’t actually finish last, and chances are the self-described “nice guys” who are complaining about never gettin’ any are actually probably really passive-aggressive punks who never stop reminding you how nice they are. (For the record, this statement applies to “nice girls” too. I’m not being discriminatory.) Well, the comic, “No More Mr. ‘Nice Guy’...Please!” by Rachel Nabors totally gets where I’m coming from. Besides, any man who prefaces something whiny with, “I’m a nice guy…” probs isn’t. Just sayin’. [Gurl.com]

“I guess you’ll do.” Are most relationships this…boring? I hope not. But in any case, check out this funny/depressing comic sketch by Cleveland comedian Mike Polk. As an engaged person, none of this resonates with me, aside from the fact that I got engaged on New Years and am getting married in a year and a half. Also, I want several dogs. And M. is from Orlando. Umm, weird. Thankfully, we hate camping. We’re saved! [YouTube via Boinkology]
