Glad you liked it, Moe! But we actually spread the references around a bit. In addition to the Green Lantern, this page also has an Iron Man Mk I helmet, Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, and Hellboy’s stone hand, as well as several from non-comic book sources. Al won’t tell me whether the city in the bottle on the left is meant to be Kandor or the bottled city from the Arabian Nights…
I’m going to guess Kandor… no, wait, that could be a Sandman reference.
I see at least 3 MacGuffins from the Indiana Jones movies, and maybe the crystal skull, too.
What’s the thing floating in the jar at extreme right?
Speaking of DC (a different one) … Aaron Diaz has finally given us a new page of Dresden Codak.
Odin’s eye?
And it’s stuff like this that incredibly frustrates me about Dresden Codak:
…gorgeous, clever, fraught with subtext – and hobbled by an internalized acceptance that the website will be updated haphazardly. No artist likes to be told that productivity sometimes has to take precedence over perfection, but sometimes that’s true.
