Star Trek: Redshirt’s Little Book of Doom

The latest Star Trek parody book is coming our way in July from Insight Editions. It’s called the Redshirt’s Little Book of Doom and it looks cute and funny. It is written by Robb Pearlman and illustrated by Anna-Maria Jung. Within it’s pages you will find lovely full page artwork chronicling the troubled life of a Star Trek red shirt, as he has his share of alien encounters, time with crew-mates, and other everyday problems. You have to love that cover art!

You can see a bunch of preview images below. This is one hilarious book. These redshirts sure do manage to get themselves in trouble, even on the ship. It is available for pre-order now and comes out in July.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Concept Art

When you look at this concept art from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, one thing becomes clear: This could have been a much darker movie. That probably would have been a good thing. Too bad Disney always likes to play it safe. The concept art below comes from the book, The Art of The Force Awakens, released by LucasFilm. mIt offers an interesting look at what they had originally planned.

To me Rey and Finn look much more a part of the Star Wars universe in their outfits here. BB-8 also went through several changes. I kind of like that bulky look. It’s less cutesy and more utilitarian. Kylo Ren? He could have looked far more menacing. There are so many interesting things to see here and you know what that means. I have to get this book and drool over these images.

The Little Book Of Batman

The Little Book Of Batman takes a look at Batman from his humble origins as the World’s Greatest Detective, all the way through to the present day. It also looks at Batman’s sidekicks and enemies, like Robin and the Joker and others. It shines a light on the complicated personality and the dynamic relationships that defined Batman through the years.

Needless to say that fascinates me to no end. This is a 192 page book of the greatest Batman images and text. I would spend way too much time with a book like this. I think I will. Must have!

The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: The Art of the Film book is available and it features all kinds of cool concept art and behind the scenes stories. It also has interviews with the cast and crew, including an afterword by director Zack Snyder.

This book has everything from the earliest concept sketches of the Batcave, all the way through the set-building process, to the final version seen on screen. You will get to know the costumes, weaponry, vehicles, allies and enemies of both heroes. These books are always a fun read and now is the perfect time to enjoy this one since the movie is about to release. I’m really looking forward to seeing all of that concept art.

Doctor Who Coloring Book

Doctor Who now has his own coloring book, courtesy of Penguin publishing house. This coloring book is perfect for fans young and old. Anyone who is a kid at heart is going to love this book. The pages feature designs and images of many fan favorites. All of the coolest villains are here and it seems like it has a lot of surprises in store for fans.

The initial pages spell out “Doctor Who,” with one letter on each page with the coloring design inside the letter borders. It looks like they did an awesome job with this one. It makes me want to color in the lines again and I haven’t done that since I was a kid.

Heroes & Villains: The Science Fiction Caricature Art of Kevin Greene

We really love art that makes us look at familiar sci-fi icons in a whole new way. Kevin Greene does exactly that, taking famous sci-fi characters and giving them makeovers as caricatures as if painted by some European street artist. All of their features are exaggerated and accentuated. We love it.

You can enjoy all of these images and many more in his book called Heroes and Villains: The Sci-Fi Caricature Art of Kevin Greene. These images are fun and colorful and not at all how we normally see these characters.

The Daily Lives Of Superheroes And Villains

We can never get enough of seeing fictional characters doing everyday things just like us mere mortals. I think it makes us feel more heroic somehow and by seeing superheroes and pop culture characters doing things like laundry and using public restrooms, it kind of brings them down closer to our level.

This series of amazing photographs comes from Canada-based photographer Daniel Picard. It shows superheroes, supervillains and other pop-culture characters doing all of the stuff that we do. He uses action figures, but you would swear that some of those characters are real people dressed in a costume. You can check out his Figure Fantasy book for many more.
