Predator Dark Horse Comic Book 8-Inch Action Figure

Predator Dark Horse Comic Book 8-Inch Action Figure
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first Predator comic book than by buying this Predator Dark Horse Comic Book 8-Inch Action Figure! I’m biased though, because I love all things Predator. This 8-inch tall figure recreates the Predator’s appearance on the cover of the first issue and they hit all of the details perfectly, right down to the comic book colors and shading!

It also features some really nice articulation and a new ceremonial staff accessory. The deluxe window box packaging has original comic book art too and it comes with a special bonus mini-comic reprint of Predator #1!

Looks Named After Superheroes

Looks named after superheroes
Danish Ahmed, an artist from Mumbai, India, created these cool looks that are named after superheroes. This is pretty clever and there is a superhero name for every look.

Batman sports the battered look, the Hitler mustache is called the Robochop, while Superman’s mullet is dubbed the Super-Mane. The next time you see somebody with these looks, you’ll know the superhero name for it.

Superheroes Drawn As Adorable Kids

superheroes as kids
We are used to seeing superheros in times of crisis. Kicking butt, taking names, wrestling with grown up issues. So it’s refreshing to see some of our favorite heroes as kids, hard at play rather than the tough work of cleaning up the streets.

These illustrations come from artist Alberto Varanda and they are bound to make you smile. They have a bit of a Norman Rockwell vibe. Enjoy.

LEGO Minifig Tattoos

I don’t know about you, but I’m not manly enough to get a tattoo. However, if I ever man up and get one, it would probably be something awesome like the tattoos below. These excellent tattoos of LEGO Minifigs were made ​​by Polish artist Max Pniewski from Bristol, England.

The artist obviously loves to ink LEGO Minifigs and he does an excellent job. Everything from Breaking Bad to Star Wars and superheroes. I love the quality of his work. Maybe it’s time I just walk in and get a tattoo. Nah. I’ll just admire these.

The Muppets As Comic Book Characters

These images should please Muppet fans and Superhero fans alike. This fun art series features several of our favorite Muppet characters as comic book superheroes and villains. These drawings were done by Roger Langridge and they are sure to make you smile.

I never thought I would see a Silver Swedish Surfer Chef. Or a Bizarro Beaker. Now if only we could make this a reality, it would be a hilarious movie. It would probably make a ton of money too. Someone get on that.

Hero-Glyphics Hieroglyph Style Art

If the ancient Egyptians worshiped Comic Book characters and Sc-Fi icons the way we do, this is exactly what their tombs would look like. Illustrator Josh Ln created this series of geeky hieroglyph style art and very appropriately calls it “Hero-glyphics”.

Best of all, you don’t need to be an Indiana Jones type to decipher them. I mean it’s pretty obvious that Han shot first and that Kirk battled the Gorn. If you like what you see, you can even buy prints from his Society6 store.

52 Years Of Spider-Man’s Mask

Everybody knows Spider-Man and we usually associate him with the classic red and blue costume with the webbing. But fans know that Spidey’s outfit has gone through some changes over the years. Some are good, others are, well, maybe best forgotten.

This compilation of Spidey’s costumes over the years comes from artist Salvador Anguiano. If you want this as a poster, he has a limited run available for sale here. We tend to think that heroes stay the same, but most of them have changed a lot over the years.
