Previously, we’d seen Luzbel d’Auvergne as Red Sonja. Now we see how well Tabitha Lyons does. The short answer: Very well! Red Sonja is classic cosplay.

Boba does Borderlands; R2 is Claptrap
This excellent mashup is the work of French artist Max Fradet. I think he captures all four characters wonderfully. You can tell at a glance you’ll looking at Boba Fett and R2-D2.

The Victorians that Weren’t
“The Victorians that Weren’t” is a guest post from Gail Z. Martin the co-author of Solaris Publishing’s forthcoming Iron and Blood steampunk adventure.

A Mostly Accurate Norse God Family Tree [infographic]
I rather like this infographic of norse mythology and gods from Korwin Briggs at the Veritable Hokum. You don’t often find family trees that feature magic cows and people with nine different mothers. (Via Geek Art Gallery)
Only civilians believe the government investigates the supernatural
Do you think the government investigates the supernatural? If you think your government does find money for research into the supernatural then the chances are you’re not part of the military. Geek Native asked readers whether they thought the government found time and money to dig into all things spooky in a competition to give […]
