One of the coolest things that any con has to offer are the ridiculous and highly detailed collectibles that are offered for sale. Nothing in this category is more impressive than the huge statues that more and more companies are producing. Whether they are busts, 1/2 bodies, or full figures... these statues are often enough to stop you in you tracks and make you do a double take at just how awesome they really are. Here are a few pics of the ones we saw at the 2013 NY Comic Con, hope you enjoy...

The end is finally here!!! After a one month wait, the final episode of Mortal Kombat: Legacy was released at this years Comic Con. It features Cyrax & Sektor, two characters I used to love playing as back in the day. This is by far the best of the bunch and you can see why they saved it for last. Here is my thing: If you want to premiere the video at Comic Con, that's cool. Just make sure that you time your release so week 9 hits during Comic Con. Don't release the first 8 early/weekly and then make us suffer for a month. Thanks as always to Exophrine for the tip.
Lot's of big new coming in from SDCC and while this isn't as big a reveal as The Avengers trailer, I think it's pretty damn great.
Warner Brothers Interactive announced that Freddy Krueger will be a playable character available as DLC in the latest Mortal Kombat game.
Pretty cool stuff. A couple of criticisms; it does unfortunately seem that this is not the REAL Freddy, meaning the classic Robert Englund. Rather it's the Jackie Earle Haley version from the recent useless reboot. Guess they still have their hopes set on a sequel and want to keep perpetuating the new product. Also I don't really like the two-handed glove thing. I guess it gives him more weapons but, it's just not how Freddy looks. It's too symmetrical. It was probably just too much trouble to program him having extra reach on just one hand. That said, I still dig it.
The latest Mortal Kombat game is excellent, and this is another reason to pick it up, or keep playing. I generally don't get much DLC, but this one I will be picking up.
Freddy's inclusion in this game explains Warner Bros. recent request that Freddy and Jason both be removed from the fan made, horror icon fighting game Terrordrome. Their removal caused the whole project to be put on hold permanently. Damn C&D's!!!! Their request sparked rumors that perhaps WB themselves had a game in the works. This seems to be the result.
So here is part 2 of the coolest video there has been in this webseries. Everyone knows that the Mortal Kombat franchise goes as their ninjas go, so it's nice to see the masked men geting some shine. Thanks to my man Dave over at Exophrine for tipping me off on the video being posted. Here you go.
So what do you think? Is this the best web series ever? Tell us your thoughts in the comment section below.

The first episode for the much anticipated Mortal Kombat: Legacy is finally here and I must say it looks pretty awesome. Jeri Ryan and Michael Jai White look awesome as Sonya & Jax, and this is probably going to be the best visualization of the Mortal Kombat we have ever seen. Here is the first episode in it's entirety.

While perusing through the interwebs for art that agrees with me for my next installment of 'Like! Like?: Art edition', I came across the artwork of one, Mark Henry of Berlin (or Anjinanhut as he goes by on DeviantArt.com) and, after a further investigating, I was certain there was no way I could fit ALL the brilliant works he had created into a post as well as 20 or 30 other artists work so I decided he deserved a post all his own! His entire body of work is most impressive but, the ones that called out to me the most were of video game characters that I grown up with. New renditions of Earthworm Jim, Mega Man, and the Mario Bros. were just a few of the many characters that seemed alive on his post page mingling together, separately, on backgrounds of baby blue. I hope the new detail given to each puts a smile on your face as it did on mine. Enjoy and be sure to also check out the rest of his work over at DeviantArt by clicking here
