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.

Iron Man Lightsaber

Iron Man Lightsaber
Who knew that Tony Stark was a Jedi? He must be. He has the lightsaber. It was made by custom Saber forum member Eastern57. I have to say, I like it. It’s like the Ferrari of lightsabers.

In case you were wondering, the design is based on Starkiller’s lightsaber from Force Unleashed, but it also has Iron Man’s red and gold color scheme. How is it powered? A mini arc reactor of course. Stark industries has certainly upped their game on this product.

Lovely Custom X-Men Playing Cards

Lovely Custom X-Men Playing Cards
I really love the style of these custom X-Men playing cards. They are from Melbourne-based designer Mark Eastwood. Naturally they are called “Uncanny Playing Cards”. Instead of your typical kings and queens, the face cards have Wolverine, Cyclops, Magneto, Storm, and Professor X, plus others.

They all interact with the suit symbols in clever ways too. They have a great retro style as if they were released in the 1960s. Even Gambit wouldn’t throw these cards. They are too cool. I need to be able to buy them.

Watercolor Superheroes Are Ethereal And Awesome

Watercolor Superheroes Are Ethereal And Awesome
Watercolor art always has this otherworldly feel. It is even more otherworldly when superheroes are done in watercolor paint. These watercolor portraits are from French illustrator and designer Blule. They are intense and full of movement.

I would love to see more comic books using watercolor to tell stories. These portraits are just so satisfying to look at. It really is amazing the mood you can set with watercolor paints.

Marvel Superheroes Become Gundam Robots

marvel superheroes become gundam robots
This art series is just plain awesome. Artist Aburaya Tonbi has created a Marvel and Gundam mash up series that will have Gundam and Marvel fans wishing for an actual crossover. These Marvel heroes look amazing as Gundam robots.

I love all of the little design details. Even if we can’t get an official mashup, I would even be happy with some action figures based on this art. I love it. Captain America and Thor look especially great.

Superheroes Replace Letters In The Alphabet

Superheroes Replace Letters In The Alphabet
This is a super creative way to do something new with the alphabet. Last week we featured some Star Trek-inspired alphabet art too. This series of illustrations reimagines the ABCs as superheroes and villains in amazing detail. Australia-based illustrator Simon Koay calls the series Superbet and they look really cool.

His designs are really impressive and these must have taken him a lot of time to complete. If you want to own prints of these letters for your wall, you can buy some from Society6.

What If… Superheroes Had Real Jobs?

What If Superheroes Had Real Jobs
Here are a few samples from CBR’s The Line is Drawn challenge called, “Superheroes Have to Get Real Jobs.” It’s a peek into a world where superheroes have to earn their money just like the rest of us. Working from 9 to 5. Superman, Ghost Rider, and The Flash might do if they had to get regular jobs. Ghost Rider is a bike courier, The Flash is a mailman, and Superman is a welder at high-rise construction sites.

Fantastic Four Concept Designs Reveal HERBIE The Robot

Fantastic Four Concept Designs Reveals HERBIE The Robot
If you were disappointed with Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four movie, you were far from alone. One thing that we didn’t see in the movie was HERBIE the robot. Apparently the robot was to be in the movie at one point. Not that this would have helped any.

HERBIE stands for Humanoid Experimental Robot, B-type, Integrated Electronics. Thanks to concept artist Fausto De Martini we have some concept designs showing us what we missed out on. He is literally a robot sitting on a soccer ball. He also has LEGO parts. I’m guessing it was to be built by Reed Richards as a kid in the film. Or maybe as an adult. I mean most of us never grow out of LEGO. It’s kind of cool, but it also feels like something is off about it.

Marvel Deadpool 8 Inch Retro Action Figure Set

Marvel Deadpool 8 Inch Retro Action Figure Set
Deadpool never had the chance to get his own action figure in the 1970s, but EMCE toys is fixing that oversight. This Marvel Deadpool 8 Inch Retro Action Figure Set gives the Merc with a Mouth the Mego-style 8-inch action figure he deserves.

He comes inside a retro-style window box and the figure is packaged in a tray alongside two bonus outfits: a more detailed, modern Deadpool head and suit, and a white X-Force outfit with an unmasked head! He also comes with plenty of swords, guns and weapons. This Limited Edition set is limited to only 3,000 sets.

Marvel Lady Deadpool Bishoujo Statue

Marvel Lady Deadpool Bishoujo Statue
Wanda Wilson is looking good in this Marvel Lady Deadpool Bishoujo Statue. This lovely statue is based on a character interpretation by Japanese illustrator Shunya Yamashita. Lady Deadpool is beautiful and she stands just under 10-inches tall in 1:7 scale. She has some amazing detail.

She is in her red and black outfit, holding a grenade in her hand, looking ready for action. She includes an alternate unmasked head sculpt to show off her blonde hair. This one is going to look great in your collection.
