Who’s Better Superman or Batman
There is no end to the geek arguments that you and your friends can have regarding your favorite comic book characters. One of the classics is: Who is better? Superman or Batman? Artist Kerry Callen has created this cool series of art examining that very question.

The artist thought that the best way to determine which hero is better would be to replace them on each other’s comic covers and see how they fare. Sounds reasonable. This should decide once and for all who is better.

Lady Deadpool Costume

Lady Deadpool Costume
It may be too late for you ladies to order this Lady Deadpool Costume for Halloween this year, but you can still wear it for general cosplay and just plain awesomeness. This costume looks accurate and ultra sexy. Like Lady Deadpool just jumped out of the comic book page.

Then again, I’m s sucker for a woman in uniform. No matter how or where you wear this, you are going to be the best Wanda Wilson ever.

Beyoncé Dresses Up as X-Men's Storm
We aren’t big on celebrity news around here, which is the way we all like it, but when Beyoncé dresses up as Storm from the X-Men we pay attention. We do like cosplay after all. Check out the costume that she rocked at Ciara’s 30th birthday party recently. I’ve never pictured her as Storm, but I have to say she makes a great X-Man. Maybe she will get to play the character one day. After seeing these images I might be okay with that.

Deadpool and Cable Go Back To The Future

deadpool and cable
Last week was Back To The Future overkill as we all celebrated the arrival of Doc Brown and Marty McFly in our time, their future. Marvel Comics got in on the fun too and released the cover art for Deadpool and Cable: Split Second #2. It was created by artist Reilly Brown who may be the son of Doc Brown for all we know. Obviously this cover pays homage to the poster for the classic time-traveling adventure film. That taxi is no Delorean however.

Deadpool and Cable: Split Second #1 is out right now. The second issue doesn’t come out until January. I love this tribute to one of my favorite movie franchises.

The Secret Life of Heroes

The Secret Life of Heroes
We have in our minds certain iconic images of our favorite heroes. And illustrator Greg Guillemin is challenging the way we look at our heroes by making them more human. His ongoing series, “The Secret Life of Heroes”, shows us what these heroes do when they aren’t busting bad guys and saving the world.

They are just like you and me. For instance, Spider-Man eats a hamburger, itches his crotch and plays video games. Captain America laments the fact that his clothing is made in China. And Superman takes Viagra. Check out his website for more cool stuff.

The First Appearances of Batman Villains – Infographic

first appearances featured
Batman is one of those rare heroes whose villains are just as recognizable as he is. Most of them anyway. You may know the first appearances of popular villains like The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and a few others. But I bet you don’t know the first appearances of some of his more obscure foes.

Like Catfoot Regan, Captain Calamity, Penny Plunderer, or Mr. Camera. You are forgiven. These guys aren’t very well known. This handy infographic from Halloweencostumes should help.

Batman Red Son Premium Format Figure by Sideshow Collectibles

Batman Red Son Premium Format Figure by Sideshow Collectibles
This DC Comics Batman Red Son DC Comics Premium Format(TM) Figure is a must for serious Batman fans. Just look at all of that detail. It’s based on the popular Elseworlds mini-series by Mark Millar. Otherwise known as Batmankoff, this alternate reality Batman is a symbol of rebellion, as well as a force of chaos in Superman’s world of perfect order.

He is also the most wanted man in the Soviet Union. I’m not sure which is more beautifully sculpted, this Batman figure or the Superman Red Son version. This one quarter scale Batman is dressed in his hand-tailored militaristic Cold War era costume with his fur-lined hat, utility belt and cape. He comes with a bat-themed grappling hook.

Hellboy and Darth Maul Cosplay Mashup

Hellboy and Darth Maul Cosplay Mashup
I’ve never been a big fan of Darth Maul, but mix him up with Hellboy and I think he’s pretty awesome now. this imaginative cosplay mashup combines Hellboy with Darth Maul and though I’ve never given it much thought, they really do make a great combination.

Naturally this guy is called Sithboy. The cosplay was created by Luis Projects, while the photos were taken by James Rulison. This guy has his double-bladed lightsaber and his guns. He’s ready to rumble. Great job.

The Flash: Costume Evolution

It is a great time to be a fan of The Flash. Between the awesome TV series and the upcoming movie alone, this hero is getting a ton of attention. The folks at HalloweenCostumes have put together this cool infographic about the evolution of his costume over the years.

Check out all of the versions of his costume through the ages, from his comic origins to the popular CW series. I have a feeling this new wave of love for The Flash is just the beginning. The Scarlet Speedster is here to stay.
