Considering running your own school for gifted super humans? You’ll want this X-Men’s Xavier’s School For Gifted Youngsters Replica Sign to hang in front of your building. This replica is a fun decoration for your front gate or your door. Now all you need to do is gather a bunch of gifted mutants under your roof.
I’m really enjoying Tim Shumate’s geeky art. In his Etsy shop you can find art that covers everything from Gremlins, to X-Men, superheroes and more. The Gizmo piece that says “Hang in there” cracked me up. Below are just a few of our favorites, but you can find much more at his shop.
A lot of them are done in a cool tattoo-like pin-up style. If only I had enough room for all of these in my home. This is some really awesome work. I especially like those X-Ladies.
Here’s a mashup that I bet you never saw coming. It’s a colorful and bright mashup, that’s for sure. Rage Gear Studios created this fun fan art mashup of Rainbow Brite and the X-Men. Wolverine, the manliest X-Man ever is now Mean Mean Tangerine. Rogue becomes Roguey D’Mint. The art is adorable and they did a great job emulating the whole Rainbow Brite vibe. I just can’t get over Wolverine looking so… Happy and bright.

If you love the X-Men and also love Disney Princesses, but can’t decide which you love more, this is for you. Both have been lovingly mashed up by San Francisco-based artist Diego Gómez. These are just awesome. I can see the potential for an X-Men/Disney crossover. Nah. But this series is fun and beautiful. They make you look at these Princesses in a whole new way.
At long last, we can pre-order the Dark Phoenix Premium Format Figure By Sideshow Collectibles. She comes from one of the most classic X-Men story arcs, and now Sideshow Collectibles is offering a Premium Format Figure from the Dark Phoenix Saga. Just look at the images. Stunning is an understatement. They really have captured every detail.
She is in her red and gold costume, and charged by pure cosmic energy. This may be Sideshow’s most beautiful figure yet. Pre-Order yours today. I know I’m getting one.
Artist Nate Hallinan created this medieval X-Men character art. This series is called The Order of X and it puts the X-Men in another time and place. These stunning images are just begging to be made into a movie. I’d also love to see some people cosplay these characters. These images are so visually striking.
You can find even more info about each character as well as some concept sketches on Nate’s website. I love Nate’s attention to detail. Awesome.
The live-action Jem movie may have left fans cold, but this fantastic cosplay from Skirts and Swords is pretty awesome. The ladies of the X-Men have merged with the stars of Jem to form a new amazing band. These characters and the fashions seen here are based on artwork by Rey Arzeno of Rage Gear Studios.
Totally uncanny. Totally 80s. This is a merging that I never thought I would see. So now we know what the X-Women would look like as a kick-ass band.

We aren’t big on celebrity news around here, which is the way we all like it, but when Beyoncé dresses up as Storm from the X-Men we pay attention. We do like cosplay after all. Check out the costume that she rocked at Ciara’s 30th birthday party recently. I’ve never pictured her as Storm, but I have to say she makes a great X-Man. Maybe she will get to play the character one day. After seeing these images I might be okay with that.

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.
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.
