This is a trick but it’s not a computer generated one. This work of art uses perception and carefully spaced objects to turn a jumble into the incredibly dangerous X-Men mutant Legion. As you might well guess this particular promo was commissioned to promote the Legion TV show. It’s just the sort of clever I’d […]
Checker buys the first ever Superhero RPG – Superhero 2044
Skip back in time to the year 1977, it is the start of the tabletop RPG industry as we know it today, Dungeons & Dragons is new and Superhero 2044 has just been published. The first version of the game had different types of superheroes, melee rules, ranged combat and a point based chargen system. […]
Adorn your ears with these Squirrel Girl earrings
Squirrel Girl, hero of the Great Lakes Avengers, has yet to go mainstream but her geek-fu is strong. Who knows? Perhaps Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will slay the box office and studios will start looking for another way to do a non-grim, lighthearted, proper hero story. If there’s a Squirrel Girl movie then here’s […]
What if Tim Burton helped illustrate superheroes…
Artist Andrew Tarusov is a talented Russian living in Los Angeles. He works with art and animation and is a fan of pin-ups and comics. This collection of clever art draws inspiration from both and adds lots and lots of dark Tim Burton. What would some of the world’s most famous superheroes look like if […]
Superhero Nerd: A review of Geek-Girl #1
Sam Johnson’s Geek-Girl has been on my radar for a little while, at least from last year when Geek Native previewed Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman: Cabra Cini (rated as: hopeful) but the author himself has been getting mentions on the site since 2014 in conjunction with Free Comic Book Day. What Geek-Girl does is flip the […]

If the name The Deathly Halliwell is familiar it is because this is the third LEGO build by the master that Geek Native has featured. You’re welcome […]

You can view more of Eric’s work over at his Society6 store. Pick up one of these prints at Society6. This superhero-themed post is from 2016’s Superhero Week. Made any good superhero discoveries […]
Superhero Week: Constantine rumours grow
I had hopes but low expectations for the Constantine TV show. Of course; I liked it, no one else did and it was cancelled. When I say ‘no one else liked it’ I mean its ratings were bad. I haven’t actually found anyone who admits to not watching the show. After the show was cancelled […]
Superhero Week: The Real-World Physics of Superman [infographic]
This is a bit like the Mythbusters team decided to investigate Superman. Allow for the possibility of an alien from Krypton, who becomes amazingly strong after arriving on Earth, how many of his famous feats are possible? For example, can you catch a plane when it’s falling out of the sky or would that just […]
