The Mortal Engines trailer was released recently to drum up excitement for the film’s release in December of this year. Mortal Engines has an intriguing plot and interesting cast. The film is action-oriented, judging by the trailer, but it appears that we are going to get significant elements of adventure and fantasy as well. This isn’t surprising, given that it is being produced by many of the same names as The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The film stars Hera Hilmar as Hester Shaw, a young woman who is attempting to stop a giant, robotic city from destroying everything in its path. Complicated by this subplot, she appears to battle Hugo Weaving as Thaddeus Valentine for the fate of many lives. There is significant buzz around this film, and it should be a real thrill ride.

Stardust
Stardust is a one shot horror/sci-fi comic book from Nasser Rabadi and Shawn Langley. An alien species lands on earth. Most are killed, but one escapes and aims to get even. Great sci-fi/horror fun.
Ethan Van Sciver’s Cyberfrog is back and breaking records for crowdfunding comics. The world may have ended in 1998, but Cyberfrog Just woke up and there’s going to be hell to pay as Killer wasps have enslaved humanity.
Artist Juan David Muñoz Rico shares his fantasy interpretation of The Dark Knight and the Joker in this cool art series. I’m hoping that he adds more characters, because I would love to see what Harley Quinn, Two-Face, The Penguin and others would look like in his fantasy world.
I just spent way too much time scrolling through everything that JeremyEnnisStudio has in his etsy store and wow, this guy is super talented. A few of the cool pieces of art that caught my eye were these Snow White and Sleeping Beauty Vs Facehuggers pieces. They are only 4×5 inches, but they are fun Disney/Alien mashups. They come mounted and wrapped and would be really cool displayed somewhere in the home.
Reaction Figures are retro Kenner style figures that should have been released back in the day, but weren’t. Better late than never. Now you can collect all of the Dark Crystal Figures that you should have collected decades ago. Relive all of the awesome moments from the 1982 film from Jim Henson and Frank Oz.
These dark and magnificent pieces of art are from Studio Ronin. Both the original trilogy and The Force Awakens are represented here. These images turn Star Wars into a dark and brooding fantasy. The dark side is strong with these. They remind me of a lot of the art that was on fantasy books way back when.
These Cool Vintage Style Sci-Fi Posters (And some fantasy) look pretty awesome. They combine old world style with modern geek culture for some truly unique posters that will look great in your home. Etsy seller MyChildishThings has a lot to choose from. You can choose from Star Wars, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Pokemon and more.
The X-Men are mutants. So are most Adventure Time characters. So you can see how they would have a lot in common. This series of X-Men/Adventure Time character mashups was created by talented illustrator and graphic artist Katie Goodrich. I think Katie did a good job pairing them up based on their powers and other traits. Ice King is definitely magneto and Flame Princess is totally Jean grey. I really love Jake as Wolverine too. This series is mathematical!
Colombia based artist Lina Ruiz created this colorful and fun Vector Illustrations based on Science Fiction and Fantasy properties. The designs are simple and to the point, with great colors and iconic imagery. The artist covers everything from the Death Star to Ghostbusters in this series. Click the link above to see more.
If superheroes were dragons is a beautiful set of illustrations by Lynton Levengood. This art series takes the already strong superheroes and transforms them into dragons who still look like Hulk, Wolverine, Iron Man and others. These terrifying flying creatures are instantly recognizable, yet so very different at the same time in their evolved form. This could be an interesting beginning to a much larger fantasy world of Levengood’s making.
