The Daily Lives Of Superheroes And Villains

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.

Watch Chris Pratt Audition With Dave Bautista for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ (Exclusive)
Sure, today we take it for granted that Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista are in fact Star-Lord and Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy, but they had to work for these roles just like any other actor. These roles could have gone to others. Luckily for all of us, the perfect actors were found. It could not have worked out better.

Check out this video of the pair auditioning or screen-testing for the roles. It’s always fun to see actors playing the part so early on. This was released as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2 box set. Enjoy. It is worth watching.

Alien Next Door

I think we are all terrified of the Xenomorphs from the Alien movies. But what if these creatures weren’t scary? Alien Next Door is a picture book by artist Joey Spiotto. It imagines that the alien from the Alien movies are cute and cuddly friends. And somehow it works. Who would have thought that these scary creatures could be so adorable?

But don’t get too complacent while you are admiring this cute alien. The real versions will still kill you dead and rip out your insides.

Star Trek: The Original Topps Trading Card Series Book

Star Trek: The Original Topps Trading Card Series Book
In 1976, Star Trek was enjoying a surge in popularity in syndication, so Topps released a series of collectible trading cards that featured full-color images from the television series. This Star Trek: The Original Topps Trading Card Series Book is the first-ever compilation and it includes the fronts and backs of all 88 cards and 22 stickers.

Most of us who collected these no longer have these cards so this will be a welcome trip down memory lane. The book also includes text and commentary. I love paging through books like this. These cards and so many more were a huge part of my childhood.
