Have you watched a speed draw on YouTube yet? I find them mesmerising and a reminder of how little (read: none) artistic skill I have. I love to watch them, though, whether we’re watching a Photoshop pro user speed through the controls to bring a hero to life or someone with inks in their hands […]

The largest board, at the time of writing, is Fantasy Finds with over 1,750 pins followed by Sci-Fi flare with over […]
Are DC doing a good job with their superheroes on TV?
Back in the summer Geek Native had a copy of Arrow: Heroes and Villains to giveaway. Entering the competition was easy; you just had to say whether you were a comic book fan or not and whether you thought DC’s TV strategy was working or not. Do you think there was much of a difference […]
Superhero Week: Steampunk Supergirl and Batgirl
This pair of steampunk style superheroes were captured by photographer “Dtjaaaam” (aka David Ngo). I really recommend taking a look at Ngo’s gallery as it’s a treasure chest full of great snaps. The two cosplayers, at Big Wow Comic Fest, a few years back are Maid of Might and Lala Dawn Cosplay. Maid is Supergirl […]
Superhero Week: Artist reimagines superheroines with practical costumes
Geek Native once called this “drawing the impossible” back when we looked at Michael Lee Lunsford’s fully dressed superheroines. I like these additional designs from Lord Ingvard. He’s an illustrator who was experimenting with alternatives… but has found out that not everyone on the internet appreciates it. Amazingly, he’s been forced to offer apologies for […]
New Supergirl trailer sets out some of the plot
The first Supergirl trailer got people talking – some with heat, drama and tension in their voice. Why? This new superhero TV series didn’t look like it would double down on the dark and depressing. Melissa Benoist stars as Supergirl and in Global’s new trailer we get a much better idea of the plot. In […]
First look at Melissa Benoist as Supergirl
DC have released photographs of Melissa Benoist as their small screen Kara Zor-El. The costume was designed by Oscar winning Colleen Atwood – the same designer for the costumes of The Flash and the Arrow. Supergirl will pilot from Warner Bros with a host of stars; Mehcad Brooks (Jimmy Olsen), Calista Flockhart (Cat Grant), Chyler […]

PREVIEWS is part magazine and part catalog from Diamond Comic Distributors. The idea is you use it to go to your local comic store and tell them what you want while your local store also uses it to work out what to stock. There are reasons to get engaged; you can book exclusive goodies with […]
Supergirl approves of the new Batgirl costume
Previously I’ve recommended Mike Maihack’s Batgirl & Supergirl series. I stand by that. The most recent strip published on Deviant Art shows Supergirl approving of the new Batgirl costume.
DC Bombshells prints will make your walls look fab
The DC Comic Bombshell range is available from QMX Online with prints starting at just $14.95. The range is based off the line of statues DC produced from designs by Ant Lucia. Each superhero or villain is reimagined in a vintage pin-up style. It all feels very World War II and that’s certainly approprate for […]
