Google just got a little more ‘super’

You may have noticed something very…familiar when you visited Google this morning.

If you haven’t, check out the lovely piece of Jim Lee art you see above inked by Scott Williams with colors by Alex Sinclair, featuring some notable DC faces - Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Batman, Robin and Plastic Man. They will be adorning the Google homepage as the doodle for the day, in conjunction with the first full day of San Diego Comic-Con and Google’s launch of their comic themes for iGoogle.

Pretty neat, huh?

    Between starting the con with a DC-centric logo and iGoogle providing free wifi to the convention center, it’s a nice start to the weekend from them. <3

    It’s beautiful. Really. But I’m a bit bummed out that Plasticman got 2 letters and Superman is absent. Seems kinda….blech.

    That aside it is a beautiful piece.
