Did you know that there are Eight Immortals in Chinese mythology? Chinese mythology is pretty interesting. No doubt about it, but I am really intrigued to learn more about the eight Avenger immortals painted by Chinese Illustrator Xia-a. I can only imagine the epic tales that could be told about this group.
I love a good mashup between modern geek mythology and classic mythological tales. Awesome!
In the fine tradition of homies helping homies, I present to you these awesome Adventure Time mashups. They are all mathematical. Even algebraic.
We can never get enough Adventure Time. You will smile. You will giggle. You will believe that a dog can shapeshift. I can’t even pick a favorite.

Great works of art stand the test of time and are instantly recognizable. Some of them are worth millions of dollars. Others are priceless. How can we improve these classic masterpieces? Add some superheroes of course. That;s always a good answer.
People are doing just that at Worth1000. You can see a bunch of entries here. I think you will agree that these fine works of art are much better now and just as classic.
Artist Eric Guzman did a fantastic job with this series. What would happen if you merged the characters from DC Comics and Marvel together? Well, what you get is a new universe filled with brand new yet familiar characters like The Joking Goblin, Deadshot the Hunter, Darewing, MysteRiddle, Banenom, Dr. Octofreeze, Poison Scorpion, Captain Krypton, and The Scavenger. I am really digging these new characters.
It’s too bad this could never happen in the pages of either company’s comic books. I would love to see more.
I’m blown away by digital artist Art-Calavera and this awesome Star Wars / Lord of the Rings crossover fan art series! It features Darth Saurus, Obi Wandalf Kenolorin, a riding Sithgul, a Mandarohan Soldier, and Princess Organadriel of the Organadrhim, Darth Maul, the Sith King of Angmar and Dwakiees.
The artist really blended both properties together perfectly and the colors are just perfect as well.

What do you get when you combine Batman’s costume with Iron Man’s armor? Well, the result looks something like this. This armored Batman by AltReaper was clearly inspired by Tony Stark’s Iron Man armor. The color touches are all Batman, but the helmet’s angles and jawline, as well as that chest plate are all Iron Man.
Some might say that it is a bit Batgirl-like, but I like it. I wouldn’t mind seeing this costume on screen in a Batman movie.

This cute series by artist DrFaustusAU shows Batman characters drawn in Dr. Seuss’ classic style. And now that I’ve seen it, I want to collect all of the books and have someone read me a twisted bedtime story.
The artist nails the Dr. Seuss style perfectly, using the cast of Gotham characters. If only I had these books when I was a kid.
If the ancient Egyptians worshiped Comic Book characters and Sc-Fi icons the way we do, this is exactly what their tombs would look like. Illustrator Josh Ln created this series of geeky hieroglyph style art and very appropriately calls it “Hero-glyphics”.
Best of all, you don’t need to be an Indiana Jones type to decipher them. I mean it’s pretty obvious that Han shot first and that Kirk battled the Gorn. If you like what you see, you can even buy prints from his Society6 store.
Buenos Aires based Alexandre Tisser created this series of prints for a new campaign titled, Fiction meets Fiction. Many LEGO addicts have switched the heads on their minifigures, kids and adults alike, but Alexandre does it to great effect here.
Homer/Wolverine is the best. He could slice up endless doughnuts as he pops them in his mouth. Vader in a Kimono is pretty awesome too. LEGO once again proves to be a great creative tool for great minds.
The two Doctors are together at last. Dr. Seuss and Doctor Who that is. Not the Colin Baker era serial. These fantastic illustrations of The Doctor as Dr. Seuss characters are from Melbourne, Australia-based artist DrFaustusAU. As a kid I loved both of these Doctors, so I only wish this had existed back then.
Oh! The times and the spaces these doctors have been!
