Look at these prints from PlaysWithToys and try not to smile. These fun photos show Star Wars toys at play. Everything from Boba Fett playing soccer to Luke and Darth playing hopscotch with a Stormtrooper.
These prints are a lot of fun. They even have one that shows Chewbacca posing with his Harley. I just love the playfulness of these images as if all of these moments were captured in real life.
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.

This is the best way to learn the alphabet ever. To Boldly Go From A to Z is a fully illustrated alphabet book inspired by Star Trek. The art is pretty amazing and each letter is a classic. This geeky and adorable children’s alphabet book was created by Carly Strickland.
If you want to buy it or any of the individual prints just head over to her site. If you have kids and are a cool parent you’ll get one for you and one for your kid.

By now you’ve seen Ridley Scott’s new sci-fi movie The Martian. It looks like it might be one of the year’s best films, but would you expect anything less from Ridley Scott?
Well, check out this new mashup from YouTuber Tony D. It has audio from The Martian trailer mixed with video from Pixar’s WALL-E. The second video is a shot by shot comparison with The Martian’s real trailer. They did an excellent job on this one.
These album covers with Star Wars makeovers are sure to put a smile on your face. We are all eagerly waiting for the Force to awaken, so here’s something to feast your eyes on in the meantime. This fun series called “Star Wars Bands” takes familiar album covers and puts them in a galaxy far, far away.
There’s Obi Wan Direction‘s “Up All Knight”, and Jabba’s “Greatest Hutts” and much more. Lady Jar Jar seems very appropriate. Our favorites are below.
If you grew up reading comics in the 1970s, you know that Marvel and DC comics created some fun comic book advertisements for Hostess. When you see one it probably brings back all kinds of memories.
To celebrate these retro ads, CBR’s The Line is Drawn had artists create a collection of modern day Hostess comic book ads. Below are some of our favorites. They are every bit as awesome as the originals. They need more stuff like this in modern comics.
Whitney Rice plays our favorite female Mad Max: Fury Road character Imperator Furiosa in this series of Funny or Die commercial parodies. These commercials are for feminine products like Cover Girl, Tampax, and Nuvaring. I think Furiosa definitely has a career in ads.
Guardians of the Galaxy is a classic in every sense of the word as far as I’m concerned. James Gunn’s movie is just plain fun and one of the funnest scenes was at the very end when Baby Groot dances to The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back.”
Now we can relive the dance in stop-motion form. This video took more than 1,000 photos to create. The creators used a Hot Toys 1/4 scale Groot and Marvel Legends 6″ Drax. This should put a smile on your face. Check it out below.
This is a fun series of fan art that features several sci-fi and horror movie characters re-imagined as manga characters. These iconic characters are all cute and adorable, but can still lay the smack down if they need to. These fine illustrations were done by Matsuda Yuusuke.
I would love to see a cartoon series based on these. Especially the Robocop one. Also featured are Terminator, Alien, Predator, Pinhead, and Hellboy. On a side note, I don’t think I have ever seen the Terminator portrayed with boobs before.
