Wolverine’s Animated History

The X-Men movie franchise has been entertaining, but you have to admit that the timeline has become kind of confusing over the years. That’s why Denis Mallon decided to explore the storyline of Wolverine. One of our favorites from the series. This should help clear things up for you.

He designed and animated this motion graphics piece that spans the original X-Men trilogy, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, his cameo in X-Men: First Class, and 2013’s The Wolverine. As Denis points out, he has had a rough history. He has fought in major wars, survived an atomic bomb and much more. Hey, at least he gained those sweet metal claws.

What Batman Would Look Like In 16 Different Eras

Most of us have probably imagined what Batman would be like with different gear, a different costume and being from a different era. It’s easy to imagine the Caped Crusader in almost any time period. This collection of Batman fan art does just that.

Here Batman is seen in different eras that are both real and fictional. It just proves that Batman fits in in almost any time and place. And as much as I love all of these interpretations, I wouldn’t trade the Batman we have for any of them.

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.

The Evolution of the Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver

If you are a fan of the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver, you can get this print by David Wildish from Society 6. It shows the Doctor’s favorite gadget in the order they were used in the show.

I think the main thing to learn from this cool print is that over time the sonic has become more complicated in design and if you go by the show, it also does more these days and is certainly used more often. Good old Peter Davison used it maybe once before his got fried, because he didn’t want his Doctor to overuse it.
