Bobby C?

I stumbled upon this sculptor earlier today, and was blown away at his sculpting accuracy. His work surpasses the best celebrity wax statue I've ever seen. Recreating exact copies in sculpt form, he goes by the handle, "Bobby C" who seems to be a legend within online prop making forums. This guy must have a hand in Hollywood somewhere, I'm sure of it.

Batman Art by Simon C. Page - Batman vs Penguin

I find minimalistic art intriguing for two reasons. One, they are iconic enough to only be recognized even if at a glance. Two, it tells a story with very little on the canvas. Superhero minimalistic art demonstrates how ingrained they are into our culture. At quick glance... you'll get it. But take a closer look.

The Walking Dead Official Trailer

A little late on the subject, but I finally got around to seeing the official trailer for the Walking Dead, a near page-by-page interpretation of the comic book published by Image Comics and put together by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard. It's refreshing to see that they are staying faithful to the source material, even having writer Robert Kirkman on set to make sure everything is in order. Correct me if I'm wrong, but will this be the first television series that feature zombies?, If so, awesome! The Walking Dead will premiere on AMC Halloween night 10/9c.

UPDATE: Looks like the show is winning over critics. The Walking Dead has already been approved for a second season. Impressive considering the pilot hasn't even aired yet.

Batman: Arkham City Screenshots!

The anticipated sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum titled "Batman: Arkham City" has released a plethora of screen shots. Rocksteady Studios and WB Interactive provided a good mix of cinematic shots and actual game play. Batman: Arkham Asylum's greatest strength was the level of detail they included in the game. You don't have to be a die hard Batfan to understand the "who's-who" references, but they included some great references that only comic readers would smile at, namely myself. With an updated Harley design along with new villains, I can already tell this game is going to be top-notch with detail. I can't express enough how excited I am about this game, Fall 2011 can't arrive soon enough! I'll be first in line if they do another midnight release.

Converse gets a touch of DC Comics

Picked up these awesome chuck's last week! I'm not much of a sneaker-head, but I was absolutely compelled to buy them!

Why, you slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler!

Star Trek has Tiberius Cologne for Men. Star Wars will be pushing their own line of fragrances from a galaxy far far away. Slave Leia's scent looks like a decent bottle of perfume, but Lando? Han Solo would've been a better choice. I can imagine Solo's tag line "Scent of a Scoundrel." I still think Captain Kirk still has the edge on this one!

If you could sum up Galactus in one picture....

... this is it!


I'm not even a huge fan of Galactus. Frankly, if you ask me, no matter how you slice it... he's still wearing a skirt! However, I still can't get over the awesomeness of the exclusive SDCC Galactus. Not just for the figure, but the shear size of it being traditionally carded! Here it is next to the build-a-figure (BAF) version.

Dumb and Dumber Inception mashup!

Two great movies from opposite ends of the spectrum collide! Dumb and Dumber and Inception!

Weezer's latest album will be titled...

Weezer, well known for their fun light-hearted music and knack for being pop-culturally relevant has a new album on the horizon. The album will be titled "Hurley." Not after the clothing brand or the sport, but after Hurley from ABC's Lost. To reinforce their album title, Jorge Garcia (aka Hurley) will be prominently featured on the album cover! I wonder if Rivers Cuomo and the gang were crying during the series finale along with the masses.

TMNT Marvel?

This is one hell of a mash-up I would never have thought of. This concept art is brought to you courtesy of Springfield Punx artist Dean Fraser. You can find his blog here. Yes, these are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Marveled-out!
