Marvel Robots by Keanu 432

The robot has been becoming more and more prevalent in pop culture. Yup, everything has its way around. Vampires were hot about 5 years ago, then zombies. It is the robots time to shine. Pacific Rim, Transformers 4, Almost Human... yeah, its time for the robot overkill. Enter artist Keanu 432, who decided to re-imagine some of the classic Marvel characters as if they were robots. You certainly get the feel that this is how they would look if they were robot like beings. These are quite good, and he has other cool stuff over at his Imgur page.

I Don't Hate This Idea Even One Little Bit

I even like the idea of a Howling Commandos series featuring these great Marvel Monsters. I have mixed feelings about many episodes of the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. I think they break the 'fourth wall' a little too often with Spidey talking to the screen but it's still a Spider-Man cartoon and features some cool characters we haven't seen much of in Marvel animation before. The Spider-Man concept has been done better in previous cartoon incarnations but I watch and will certainly be catching this special Halloween episode.

Alter Egos by Coran 'Kizer' Stone

It is always interesting to see another artists take on a character, specifically when they make it their business to redo a bunch of characters that are really well known and loved. Deviant Artist Coran 'Kizer' Stone has done just that, and he is doing God's work. His Alter Ego series takes on not only the hero version that we all know and love, yet also feature their regular everyday personas as well. It is nice to see and artist's take on the cool details of a hero, but that is done over and over. Very rarely do you see an artists show us the regular side of the larger than life characters we all know and love. Thanks to my main man Cal for putting me on to this guy. Check out more at his Deviant Art page and my personal faves after the jump...

Concept Art: How Some Of The Most Iconic Movie Characters Of All Time SHOULD Have Looked

Concept art and early storyboards are fascinating to me, as they often give an insight into what a film was intended to be like during the early stages of development. Things often change, sometimes for the best and sometimes for the worst. One thing is certain, and that whether things get changed or not when you look at these early sketches you are seeing what initially lead to the film getting made. Someone posted a killer Imgur gallery of some dope concept art sketches of iconic movie characters and I must say I am very torn. some of the concept art looks way better than the finished products (Silver Surfer & Spidey come to mind) while others look silly (most of the Star Wars stuff) and was changed for the best. They are all cool, so check em out after the jump...

Cool Down Your Drinks Super Hero Style With Marvel Ice Trays

Whenever I see products like this it reminds me of what my house would look like if I had infinite disposable income available to by nerd shit. My house would probably look a lot like Jon Lovitz's house in The Benchwarmers, when he grows up from nerd to millionaire and has an R2D2 butler and shit. That would probably be expensive, but here is a little piece of nerd houseware that anybody could probably afford. Marvel Comics themed Ice Trays!!!! For a mere 10.00 bucks or less on Amazon you can own either the Spider Man set or the set featuring The Thing, Hulk, Iron Man, and Cap. Either set is great, but I am leaning towards the multi hero one as better. Check out the pics after the jump...

Where The Amazing Things Are by Tanoshi Boy

I love everything that has a touch of Where The Wild Things Are in it, so when Jeff sent me this awesome rendition of Spider Man doing his best Max impression I knew that I just HAD to post it. Artist Tanoshi Boy hit a home run with this piece, but I only have one simple complaint about it. If he would have just added one more villain to the mix (Hobogoblin, Vulture, or maybe Carnage?) then we would have had a true to form Sinister Six of Wild Things. But it is still a pretty sweet piece even if its one villain short. Check out the full size piece after the jump...
