Parting Shot

There's been much discussion over the last two days about Havok's now infamous speech in this week's Uncanny Avengers #5. It was a sore point for many, and we posted our thoughts on it earlier today. A few folks beat us to addressing the issue, however, including Stephanie Lantry, who created this fantastic image...

This week, as the Supreme Court of the United States deliberates on the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act -- which defines marriage for federal purposes as between a man and a woman -- Americans and friends from around the world have been expressing their support for marriage equality by adopting the Human Rights Campaign's logo as their temporary social media icons...

José Luis García-López turns 65 today. The celebrated artist has worked in the comic industry for more than 40 years, most prominently with DC Comics. Born in Spain in 1948, García-López's earliest work in the United States was for Charlton Comics. He eventually moved to New York, ...

The folks at Blackmeal, a video production company, have produced a slick animation homage to Marvel Comics characters. Specifically, their logos. No characters appear in the video, but rather logos representing nearly every major hero or team from the Marvel cannon...

I'm a big fan of the Badass Digest video features Devin Faraci creates for the Cinefix network. Hardly the typical movie hype clip you see everywhere, Faraci likes to assemble panels of interesting guests for roundtable discussions (often with booze) of variously zeitgeisty topics concerning the world of cinema...

I rarely pass up an opportunity to write about any Calvin and Hobbes themed project. Whether it's a search engine designed specifically for the strip, or pictures of the two characters set against the backdrop of beautiful real-life settings, Bill Watterson's timeless creation consistently inspires talented fans to create something memorable in homage to the beloved comic strip...

At Comic-Con in 2008, I stepped onto a hotel elevator and instantly found myself in the sky. At least, it felt that way. It was actually a very creative ad for Pixar's Up that involved painting the inside of the elevator to look like the sky from the film, with Carl's balloon-powered flying house in the corner, looking to be off in the distance...

We're big fans of Ulises Farinas' art at ComicsAlliance. We've commissioned work from him in the past, and highlighted his art several times, so we'd be remiss if we didn't take this opportunity to let readers and fans know that he's selling a great selection of his work over on his site right now, to raise money for his medical expenses...

This Spider-Man inspired beard, proudly worn by a gentleman by the name of Chad Roberts, honestly kind of creeps me out. But I'm sharing it because A) I know some people will enjoy it, and B) I refuse to be alone in my suffering. You can check out the full image, plus a view of Roberts earlier Star Wars-themed beard, after the cut...

We enjoyed 2000 AD's cheeky salutation to Marvel Comics as the superhero publisher enters the world of weekly comics, as announced recently at South By Southwest. But as the promo above correctly indicates, 2000 AD's been at the weekly comics game for 36 years and maybe everybody should just calm down a bit...
