IT ACTUALLY EXISTS.

One of the guilty pleasures comic book fans have when reading about their favorite heroes is fantasizing about what they might do if they had their own superpowers, or if they lived in the same world as the X-Men, or the Avengers. While you may not be able to bring most of the things read in your favorite comic books to life, there is at least one exception to that limitation. That’s right, you can get yourself a real-life copy of the Daily Bugle.

Since 2006, Marvel has published a monthly “Daily Bugle” newspaper that reports on the company’s current publications and authors. Occasionally, Marvel will use the format as a means to promote ongoing crossover events such as Civil War and House of M, portraying the in-story events as if they were happening in real life. Imagine being a kid and showing your friend the Daily Bugle issue that reported on Captain America’s death. Ouch.
