Artist and illustrator Janine van Moosel drew this fun art series of Jessica Rabbit cosplaying as several geek ladies. She certainly is versatile and I’m convinced she could cosplay as anyone. Check her out as Harley Quinn, Princess Leia and many more. You can see them all here. Hubba hubba!
I never thought that I would write a crappy title like that. And yes, you read it correctly. Illustrator Toshib Bagde has released a series that is, uh, unique? It is called Superheroes Poop Lab, and it puts together superheroes and, well, poop. Poop heroes. It is actually very creative. Toshib is not constipated creatively at all.
Scott Park has illustrated an amazing poster that has all of the moments that make up RoboCop. It was created for Gallery 1988’s “30 Years Later” show, which opens July 21. Park knew right away that Robocop was the theme he wanted to do. I’d buy that for a dollar.
Graphic designer Scott Modrzynski took two years to create every single character that ever appeared in the Uncanny X-Men comic book series. Holy crap! This is an awesome lineup of X-shaped pulled from the 545 issues of Uncanny X-Men that ran from 1963 to 2011. This isn’t just mutants, his site also includes all of the minor characters appearing in every issue, everyone from random civilians to police and military personnel. That is some impressive dedication. It takes a lot of discipline and maybe a little OCD to do a job like this.

Arrow Video’s 4K Blu-ray restoration of John Carpenter’s The Thing arrives in October, but you can pre-order it right now. The cover art is just amazing. Within that fur-trimmed parka there is the movie’s Antarctic setting, the ice cracked ominously. It just seems perfect. Video re-releases so often give us crappy artwork or just bad images, so it is nice to see this.
The Arrow Video release comes packaged in a steelbook with the original Thing art as well. It is limited to just 4,000 units. It will be released October 23.

Stan Lee has had cameos in all of Marvel’s big movies, but now it is time that he has a starring role in the stories he originally created. Stan Lee Cameos No More is an art project created by Brazilian artist Butcher Billy. The legendary comic book creator Stan Lee becomes various Marvel superheroes and it is awesome.
I guess the message is that we should not take our sight for granted. This is the first part of a series of comics by Visian ICL and illustrator Wren McDonald. I’m really glad that Luke had great sight. Then again, he did have the force.
It can be easy to take sight for granted – despite the science of sight being extraordinarily remarkable. In movies, for example, heroes and villains are usually blessed with extremely keen eyesight. This got us thinking: just what would it be like if move characters had poor eyesight, and how would this affect the famous scenes we’ve come to know and love?
Check out these fun comic book covers from artist Kerry Callen (part 1 and part 2) that imagine what it would have been like if DC Comics published Marvel characters in the 1960s. These are some weird covers, but I love them. There is an overweight Spider-Man, Captain America eating his shield, Iron Fist and Power Man, and some fun versions of Ghost Rider too. A great “What If…” art series.

Last year, Star Trek turned 50, not that they did anything special to celebrate. Well, this September, The Next Generation will turn 30. And to celebrate this milestone, artist Dusty Abell has created two very cool posters packed full of ships, characters, and more. Can you even spot all of the characters in these posters? It might take you all day. The two posters are divided into good guys and villains. So one has the Enterprise crew and the other has Romulans, Borg, and Klingons, plus many other bad guys. These are a lot of fun. This limited edition poster set can be found at Roddenberry.com. I’ll be busy looking at these for the rest of the day.

If you like the idea of an Obi-Wan Kenobi Movie, Disney and Lucasfilm are still toying with you, having said nothing official. Well, one dedicated fan has given us a glimpse at what the movie poster for such a movie could look like. He did it in the SpaghettuWestern style and I have to say, it clicks all of the right buttons. It is perfect. Even directed by Mad Max director George Miller.
