This comes from the folks over at Industrial Light and Magic. It’s a short peek inside the visual effects work done on 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The CGI is amazing.
This short video represents just a small amount of the nearly 900 visual effects shots ILM contributed to the film. It took a crew of over 300 people.
This infographic from beautyflash provides a look at the superheroes and villains with the toughest and most unique skin. It shows the strengths and weakness of their skin too.
Everyone you would expect to be here is here, like: Superman, The Thing, The Hulk, Doomsday and more. These folks have some seriously different skin than you and I have.
It’s just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man cuddling up with some cats. That’s because Peter Parker makes them purr. You see? Spidey doesn’t have to be dark and brooding all of the time. He has a huge heart. He’s sensitive and cats love his spider senses. Besides how else are you going to relieve stress after a long day of crime fighting and photo taking?
These are photos were shot by Twitter user @tks1783. They show Spidey chilling at home with his cats.

Avengers: Age of Ultron will arrive in theaters on May 1st, 2015 and I know you can’t wait. Here’s something to tide you over until then.
Check out this promo art from Avengers: Age of Ultron. These images feature Vision, Ultron, Iron Man’s Hulkbuster armor and Black Widow. Vision looks stunning in these images. This should be an amazing Marvel movie.

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.
If Avengers fan art is your thing, give yourself a tarot reading with these amazing tarot cards featuring our favorite superheroes. The set features The Hierophant: Phil Coulson- Chiron; The Sun: Thor – Apollo; The Magician: Tony Stark – Mercury; Strength: Steve Rogers – The Hermit: Bruce Banner- Cronus; The Lover: Natasha and Clint – Aphrodite and Adonis; and The Devil: Loki – Pan.
These illustrations are the work of the very talented Julia Cross.
One of the things I don’t like about the recent X-Men movies are the costumes. I want more colorful costumes like the ones drawn on our favorite mutants in the comic books. Well, if you are also tired of seeing your favorite mutants dressed only in black jumpsuits, illustrator Kevin Wada, has upped their fashion. Drastically.
These images are from a series called X-Fashion, and they do look like they belong in a high fashion magazine. The heroes and the villains all get a fashion makeover. The designs even align with each character’s mutant powers. I guess the danger room is a lot more colorful now.

London UK based artist James Northcote is not a super villain. No really. He just likes to dissect superheroes in his series titled Hero dissections. I guess he is just curious about what makes them tick. We all are. It’s just that most of us don’t go slicing them up to find out.
I want to tell James to be careful and that this is how villains always start out, but to be honest I’m kind of scared of James. Just kidding James. You gave me a chuckle with these illustrations.
A world where superheroes evolved to ride around on Vespas? You’re looking at it. These fun illustrations by Istanbul, Turkey based artist Mete Eraydın May even convince you that this is the only mode of transport for comic book heroes.
These colorful rides look pretty sweet. Let’s hope that the villains are sticking to Vespas as well, otherwise our heroes are going to have a hard time catching up.
NadyaSonika makes an amazing female version of Cyclops. Now I’m positive that an all female X-Men would be an amazing thing. Not that I ever had any doubt. She has the attitude right, the costume is just right and she’s certainly easy on the eyes.
Add in some killer photography and you have a recipe for Amazing. Even Uncanny. Awesome stuff!
