John Romita Jr. and Superman Elvis

I'm not yet sold a hundred percent on John Romita Jr. doing Superman with Geoff Johns. Just look at this initial image done by the legendary Marvel artist.

Here's our first look at the Man of Steel as rendered by John Romita Jr. 

Bad Ass Versions of Our Favorite Characters

A little art feature featuring the bad ass versions of our favorite characters like Winnie the Pooh and Mario.

I love this version of Tintin and Haddock. Also even Snowy looks fierce enough to bite your toes.

I have vague memories on Babar. Who is Babar again?

We all have to thank artist Tohad for this great art set.

First Look at Planet X Characters for Uncanny Avengers

I'm kinda in the fence with regards to whether or not I like what's going on in Rick Remender's Uncanny Avengers book but seeing these jaw-dropping concepts by Daniel Acuna, I'm totally sold and jumping back to the title.

More photos below.

You'll know this is an alternate reality story because Pyro's been dead for years now and Avalanche was recently lobotomized by the Red Skull and may or may not be dead. Great work on the designs too. Magneto looks pretty bad ass with that armored suit of his.

If Disney Princesses were Sailor Moon Characters

Here's a thought. What would it be like if we fused Disney Princesses like Frozen's Anna and Elsa with the cute and iconic Sailor Moon characters. Check these out.

We all have to thank Drachea Rannak for this.

Marcos Martin Does a Variant Cover for Amazing Spider-Man # 1

 Artist Marcos Martin does a fantastic job of showing us what we missed with Peter Parker once again doing the driving in his own body with this variant cover for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN # 1.

The actual book however will be done by Humberto Ramos following the scripts of long-time Spider-writer Dan Slott.

All is forgiven Slott, you can come out now. 

And while we're on the subject of Amazing Spider-Man...

Know Your Gotei 13 Division and Their Captains from Bleach

Here's a guide to your original Gotei 13 Protection Squad from the manga and anime series BLEACH. The chart features what they each stand for, the flower they represent and their respective captains.

The art is plain glorious. It was done by tanathe.



Here's the text that was posted on top of the chart:

Each division of the Gotei 13 beside the assigned number has also a flower insignia called Taishou (隊章) representing their motto. Captains have a special seal on their body in its shape and vice-captains often wear a badge called Fukukanshou (副官章) on their arm which also has that flower motif.


First Division (一番隊)
Flower: 菊 Kiku - Chrysanthemum
Motto: "Truth and Purity"
True meaning of flower: abundance and wealth

Second Division (二番隊)
Flower: 翁草 Okinagusa - Pasqueflower
Motto: "Seek Nothing"
True meaning of flower: unpretentiousness, "You have no claims"

Third Division (三番隊)
Flower: 金盞花 Kinsenka - Marigold
Motto: "Despair"
True meaning of flower: sacred affection, sorrow

Fourth Division (四番隊)
Flower: 竜胆 Rindou - Bellflower
Motto: "If you are sad, you are loved"
True meaning of flower: humility, constancy

Fifth Division (五番隊)
Flower: 馬酔木 Ashibi - Lily of the Valley
Motto: "Sacrifice, Danger, and Innocence - The two lovers go on a journey"
True meaning of flower: return to happiness, perfect purity

Sixth Division (六番隊)
Flower: 椿 Tsubaki - Camellia
Motto: "Noble Reason"
True meaning of flower: admiration, perfection

Seventh Division (七番隊)
Flower: 菖蒲 Shoubu - Iris
Motto: "Courage"
True meaning of flower: faith, hope, wisdom and valour, eloquence

Eighth Division (八番隊)
Flower: 極楽鳥花 Gokuraku Chouka - Bird of Paradise
Motto: "Obtain Everything"
True meaning of flower: magnificence

Ninth Division (九番隊)
Flower: 白罌粟 Shirokeshi - White Poppy
Motto: "Oblivion"
True meaning of flower: eternal sleep, oblivion

Tenth Division (十番隊)
Flower: 水仙 Suisen - Daffodil
Motto: "Mystery and Egotism"
True meaning of flower: respect, regard, self-esteem, egotism, chivalry

Eleventh Division (十一番隊)
Flower: 鋸草 Nokogirisou - Yarrow
Motto: "Fight"
True meaning of flower: strength, healing

Twelfth Division (十二番隊)
Flower: 薊 Azami - Thistle
Motto: "Revenge, Severity, and Independence"
True meaning of flower: wounding, provocation, punishment

Thirteenth Division (十三番隊)
Flower: 待雪草 Matsuyukisou - Snowdrop
Motto: "Hope"
True meaning of flower: hope, consolation

So that figures. Kenpachi Zaraki's motto has always been fight which was also the reason why he's so damned bloodthirsty.

That Variant Cover for Superman/Wonder Woman # 3 Proves That

... sex in space is possible. But it will require either parentage from Greek pantheon or genetics from a dead alien race to actually pull it off. 

Yes folks, DC Comics will be releasing this variant cover to Superman/Wonder Woman # 3 which looks like the Man of Steel and the Amazonian Princess just did the horizontal mambo in space. Cover is done rather tastefully by one of my favorite artists, Guillem March.

Here's the entirety of the cover.

A bit fanservice-y aint it? Also, the solicit.

SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN #3
Written by CHARLES SOULE
Art and cover by TONY S. DANIEL and BATT
1:25 Variant cover by GUILLEM MARCH
1:100 B&W Variant cover by TONY S. DANIEL and BATT
On sale DECEMBER 11 • 32 pg, FC, $3.99 US • RATED T
Combo pack edition: $4.99 US
Retailers: This issue will ship with four covers. Please see the order form for details.

The way I see it, people are polarized by the book, some loving it others be hatin' (I'm with the former though) especially after seeing Superman kinda beating up Diana's brother Apollo. Still, it offers a great read with some of the best panels and splash pages done by artist Tony S. Daniels in years.

Classy Fanart for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Really wicked cool. When I first saw this, I was totally floored.

I'm gonna update when I find out who the artist is. In the meantime, here are the other photos. Which could've made J.R.R. Tolkien a proud poppa.

Thorin Oakenshield

Oh and why does the humanized Smaug look so much like Benedict Cumberbatch. Oh yes, because Khan is going to be voicing that terrible dragon.
