Coolest Mashup You’ll See Today

Coolest Mashup You’ll See Today

The Muppets and the X-Men. Who would have thought that they can come together in such an amazing piece of work? Jim Henson and Stan Lee would both be proud of what DeviantArtist ~Rahzzah has created, don’t you think? The artist actually published this drawing on the day that marked the 21st anniversary of Jim Henson’s death. I don’t know about you, but it’s a tribute that anyone would appreciate. Unfortunately, prints are not available as of now, as DeviantArt “won’t release this as a print for copyright issues.” If the artist were accepting requests for future mashups, which characters would you like to see?

Sorrows and Joys

Sorrows and Joys

Just as reality swings from side to side in the comics worlds, as Age Of X has finished and Flashpoint commences; so to does reality swing up and down in, well, reality. It was with regret that I heard yesterday that the excellent Human Target TV series has been dropped by Fox. There has been some discussion on the inter-webs whether the addition of the two female characters Mrs Pucci and Ames strengthened the series or detracted from the first series’ dynamic.

Now we can see how the three titles fit together and the general shape of this new universe. It all seems to centre around a hostile alien race and their human allies, a team of time-travelling metas who embody different scientific forces, obviously leading up to the first crossover event, however far away that may be. I will be happy if that is far in the future, three titles is hardly an expensive layout for a corssover, but I hope Read more »

When East and West Collide

When East and West Collide

What do you get when you combine the core elements of Japanese anime and American comic books? The answer is a new series called Heroman. Written by none other than famous comic book writer Stan Lee and produced by Bones animation studio, Heroman is just a small glimpse into what’s to come. Marvel, in collaboration with Madhouse, are also expected to release the Iron Man and Wolverine anime in Japan sometime in the next year or two. I can’t say anything for the Iron Man and Wolverine anime since they haven’t been released yet, but I have gotten a chance to see Heroman and it doesn’t look too bad. The Read more »
