What do you get when you combine Batman’s costume with Iron Man’s armor? Well, the result looks something like this. This armored Batman by AltReaper was clearly inspired by Tony Stark’s Iron Man armor. The color touches are all Batman, but the helmet’s angles and jawline, as well as that chest plate are all Iron Man.
Some might say that it is a bit Batgirl-like, but I like it. I wouldn’t mind seeing this costume on screen in a Batman movie.

The original miniature model of the USS Enterprise is a national treasure as far as I’m concerned. It is now being readied for display in its new home in the new Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
It is currently at the Udvar-Hazy Center, where it is being looked over by the restoration team to see what needs to be done. They are looking at how well it has held up, how well past restoration has fared and generally scrutinizing her. Recently the Center had an open day, where people could check out the Enterprise model and so we have some cool images like the ones seen here. After all of these years, she remains a beautiful ship.
This home built scale model of an Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer was made by Fabio Delfino. It’s pretty stunning and even has a ton of tiny lights all over as well as sound. The model is based on the Star Wars: Dark Empire comic books and it was built with over 3000 pieces.
You are the man Fabio. You should definitely be working for the Empire.

Featured are Darth Vader, The Terminator, Rocket Punch and Big daddy from Bioshock. These would look great as T-Shirts. I love these retro designs. I just wish this collection was larger so we could see more.

This cute series by artist DrFaustusAU shows Batman characters drawn in Dr. Seuss’ classic style. And now that I’ve seen it, I want to collect all of the books and have someone read me a twisted bedtime story.
The artist nails the Dr. Seuss style perfectly, using the cast of Gotham characters. If only I had these books when I was a kid.
One of the things that struck me the first time I watched Return of the Jedi was that we never got to see Luke making his lightsaber. It seemed odd even then. That’s because it was a scene that was cut from the movie. Now we can finally see Luke putting the finishing touches on it at least, just before he heads off to Jabba’s palace.
You can watch the scene below. Basically he finishes it up, tests it and then sends the droids off ahead, so that he can rescue his friend Han Solo.
This female Spawn cosplay looks like it was practically ripped from the pages of Spawn itself. Cosplayer Cat Huntress did an amazing job. These images and Cat herself are totally epic. I just love the lighting and the colors. Of course that costume is pretty incredible too. She has basically channeled Spawn so completely that I can’t see anyone doing it better.

“Sci-fi, horror and fantasy and comics have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been a bit of a tomboy, found myself drawn more towards male characters and taking on male identities. Todd MacFarlane is one of my greatest artistic inspirations, I’ve been obsessed with Spawn since I was 13 and grew up watching the cartoon. What I love so much about Spawn’s character is that although his motivations are entirely self serving, you see moments of humanity shine through in his actions. We tried going for more of a cartoony feeling in the spirit of the show, the costume isn’t 100% exactly like the original Spawn costume because I wanted to do something a little different (and to be honest I was on a time constraint). And I had these amazing spiked bracers I absolutely love and take every opportunity possible to use on set!”

Prepare yourself for some of the best and most beautiful Doctor Who art that you have seen in ages. This Dalek comic strip was published in the mid-1960s in Century 21 magazine. Beautiful isn’t it? Well you can see it all on Flickr. See you in a few hours!
You can find the complete The Dalek Chronicles comic on walt74’s Flickr page. Apparently they are scans from a recent magazine that collected the entire run. I just love it. This colorful artwork has flying saucers, futuristic cities, space scenes and more pulpy goodness. I wish more people did art in this style today.
