As I write this, the New York Giants are facing off against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Artist Vincent Aparo had his own idea of what the Giants Vs. Patriots would look like with a comics-inspired piece of art that’s an homage to fellow artist Scott C and his Great Showdowns series [...]

A group of artists have written an open letter to Washington regarding the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (PROTECT IP) acts that have led numerous websites to go dark in protest today.

Artists include American Gods, Sandman, and Neverwhere author Neil Gaiman, comedian/actor Aziz Ansari, and Nine Inch Nails frontman and Oscar winning composer Trent Reznor, just to name a few.

The letter was posted on the Stop The Wall website, and you can read it in full below, including a list of those who have signed it. [...]

Five new posters for the upcoming 3D reissue of Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace have been released.

You can check them out here below.

Darth Maul has been the major focus of the poster campaign for the first in George Lucas‘ grand plan to re-release all six of the Star Wars films in 3D. The designs of the posters stray from the established look of the artwork done for the initial release of the prequel trilogy by the now-retired Drew Struzan, but these are some striking images. [...]

J. Scott Campbell is one of my favorite artists who’s worked on one of my favorite comic books, Danger Girl. But, my favorite comic book series of all time (which you have heard and will continue to hear me say) is Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman.

One of the characters introduced in The Sandman is Death, sister to the Sandman himself, Morpheus. Campbell recently tweeted to Gaiman a link to his DeviantArt page of his rendition of Death, and it’s a real beauty. Check it out here above [...]

Artist John Quinn did a painting for a presentation for the people at Disney of Mickey Mouse and Pluto in a Frank Frazetta style and setting [...]

Another year, another cool holiday greeting from Quirk Books, publisher of awesomeness like Night of the Living Trekkies, The Captain Jack Sparrow Handbook, and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, as well as their upcoming release, Jason Heller’s Taft 2012.

This year’s holiday greetings came in the form of a hand-signed and numbered original limited edition silk screened print by Tim Gough that urged everyone to “devour more books” – and I happened to think that that’s a great suggestion!

Check out a photo of my print, which was 117 of 500, here below [...]

Artist Madeleine Flores, creator of the comic The Girl and the Gorilla, was recently ended up in the emergency room in a neck brace and thanks to her lack of healthcare plan, she now has some unexpected large medical bills to pay off. Therefore, she’s lowered the prices on some of her artwork over at her site Little Love Monster.

She’s got some really cute stuff, like the Batman-themed print at top here called Batman and Friends, which you can purchase. You’d not only be supporting an indie comics creator and artist, but helping out someone in need who could use the money for their medical bills [...]

Artist Andy Trabbold took a shot at doing a redesign of Firestorm, the DC Comics superhero, and it is totally awesome.

For those of you that don’t follow Project Rooftop, it’s a place that showcases fan art redesigns of popular characters from all of pop culture. They’ve had contests on redesigning Wonder Woman, Invincible, and many other characters in the past, and while there aren’t any big contests going on right now, there a couple of gems here and there. And the Andy Trabbold redesign of Firestorm is one of those gems [...]

ScreenRant‘s Ben Moore has shown dedication and patience by putting together a nearly all-encompassing infographic in what he calls “Every ‘Significant’ Bat-Suit Ever” and it’s pretty cool.

Check out the full infographic here below [...]

I saw this artwork by DeviantArt user Kinjamin of the cast of the NBC sitcom Community as Batman villains and thought, hey, pretty cool.

So, I emailed the link to our Batman expert MK2FAC3 figuring he’ll dig it and maybe want to write something up about it. His response was “Something about this kinda makes me want to kill something.” I think it had something to do with the Batman Returns catsuit, it made him see red [...]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes arrives on DVD and Blu-ray today. In conjunction with the release, street artist Anthony Lister created a huge Apes-inspired mural in Los Angeles.

The Australian-born street artist worked throughout the nights over this past weekend to complete the piece.

Check out the time-lapsed video here below of Lister’s creation of this mural from start to finish; there’s also a video of Lister talking about his mural and the film that includes some b-roll footage and soundclips from the film [...]

It took paper artist Paul Jackson three weeks’ times and 50,000 folds of paper to recreate Disneyland Paris’ Sleeping Beauty Castle and the results are awesome.

After four weeks of planning for the project, Jackson used 20 different paper-folding techniques to create a 10-foot “pop-up” origami sculpture at the Pancras International station in London, England, where it’s currently on display [...]

I love gingerbread creations, so chances are I’ll be posting any interesting finds in the world of massive, creative gingerbread constructions.

I also am crazy in love with Star Wars, which is why I totally dig this Gingerbread AT-AT, which is currently on display at Orange County’s Discovery Science Museum [...]

I’m really kind of ashamed to admit that I don’t read Archie Comics regularly. There’s no reason for me not to, I mean, I don’t dislike them. In fact, I like them a lot more than a great deal of comics I read on a regular basis. Sure, sometimes Archie and the gang don’t provide a whole lot of excitement for a lot of readers, but then they go and do something like bringing KISS to Riverdale. And what could be better than that? Only one thing, getting Francesco Francavilla on variant cover duties.

You can check out the cover below. [...]

All right, so you guys know I like Batman, right? That’s not really a secret that I’m trying to hide. Another thing that I don’t really like to hide is cool art related to the character. And Austin, TX-based artist Xero has come to the task of putting together a pretty rad group of art prints of some of the best of Batman’s rogues gallery.

In a collection that the artist calls “Gotham’s Most Wanted,” Xero takes his/her own style on various villains on the caped vigilante. In this set we see Xero’s unique perspective on the heavy hitters such as Catwoman, Scarecrow, Two-Face, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy and, of course, The Joker [...]

The Mondo set of posters and prints are some of the most dynamic art pieces that are available commercially, and the newly announced line of DC Comics Mondo posters starts on Friday with this awesome Fortress of Solitude piece.

Starting at a random time on Friday, Mondo will be releasing this limited edition poster prints to the masses for a cool price tag of $50. The piece by J.C. Richard is 12×32 and showcases arguably the most iconic of DC characters, Superman. And while it does showcase Superman, the piece focuses not only on the character but also his Fortress of Solitude [...]

They may not be “real,” as defined by Webster’s Dictionary, but these stamps designed by Canadian DeviantArtist koinogenki are totally awesome and should by all means exist in The United States so that I might purchase and put them in my fictional stamp collection.

They’re really cool in a sort of pop art, neo deco style that mixes the style of the silver age Batman adapted to the stylish sensibility of Batman: The Animated Series. Anyway, check out the full collection of these Batman stamps below [...]

Drew Struzan is retired now, and it’s doubtful we’ll ever see his like again, not in this universe. Struzan is by far one of the greatest movie poster artists the industry produced; he has created the posters for the Indiana Jones series, the 1997 Star Wars Special Edition re-releases, the Back to the Future trilogy, the 1982 version of The Thing, and other cherished films too numerous to count. He also designed the poster art for three of the Police Academy movies, and now a large selection of Struzan’s original acrylic paintings are being sold for big bucks at the artist’s website [...]

The reboot of The Crow that has been in development for more than two years has so far gone through two directors and two lead actors and shown no signs of progress. Last month Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) departed the project and prospective star Bradley Cooper also moved on to greener pastures, but before they left Fresnadillo was working with comic artist Diego Latorre on conceptual designs for the film including many renderings of what Cooper would look like as Eric Draven, the murdered guitarist who returns from the dead to avenge his death and that of his girlfriend Shelley. You can check out a sample image here below [...]
