In February of 2015, Marvel Comics will feature 20 variant covers drawn by artist Phil Noto. That’s next month. You’ll love the retro style of these covers. It was announced at New York Comic Con last year and February so it has been a long wait, but it is almost here. In the meantime you can check some of them out below.
You can check out more of Noto’s retro Marvel covers here and at his Tumblr.
You have to love these colorful and geeky prints from Etsy seller GeekyPet. They replace all of the sci-fi and superhero icons that we love with felines, which in many cases, changes the way you look at these characters. They don’t take themselves too seriously, but all fit in nicely. In fact, it’s scary how well these cats do at replacing our heroes.
These fun and playful prints include Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman and many more. Check out the Etsy shop to see them all. Jabba The Cat is probably my favorite.
Some of the art we feature here is mindblowing, inspiring, just beautiful, or just plain fun. I would say that the 25¢ Wonders series from artist Patrick Ballesteros hits all of these notes. These illustrations bring back the fun of being a kid while we watch some of our favorite characters as kids themselves, riding kiddie rides.
They also evoke a nice sense of childhood innocence and wonder. You can’t help but smile as you peek into these scenes, watching characters that we know so well, as cute kids, and wishing we could see the scene unfold, just to see what comes next.

These are some really nice behind the scenes photos that show off different alien makeup designs created for Guardians of the Galaxy. You have to love the retro look and feel of this movie and admire all of the practical effects that were used to pull it off. These designs have so much detail!
Dave White, the special effects makeup designer helped to create the designs for Gamora, Drax, Nebula, Yondu, Korath, and other aliens. They are all done practically and are free from modern alien design influences. The end results in the film were simply amazing. You’ll find more at the link.
