This fun series from artist Raikchak Ha Reang shows us what Marvel and DC comics heroes would look like with beards. I thought it was appropriate since this is No Shave November. These Bearded Heroes all look more manly, that’s for sure. Those are some strong facial hair choices. Each has their logo beneath. I’m not sure if the Hulk looks calmer or angrier with his beard. And Deadpool being Deadpool, has a very unique way of decorating his.

The Empire certainly knows how to do Thanksgiving right. That Imperial Pumpkin Pie looks delicious. I’m not sure it’s polite to set your lightsaber and thermal detonator on the table though.

What if the first interstellar spacecraft to be built just happens to be commissioned by the US Navy? And what if its design is inspired by a science-fiction TV show from the sixties? What would that look like? Something like this. And it is amazing. This is one of the most beautiful interpretations of a Constitution class I have ever seen. Much better than the silly ships in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek movies. To all of the future designers, directors and artists out there, this is how you do it!
