How’s your comic book collection looking? Cool but a little messy? What about your Marvel blu-rays or superhero RPG hardback pile? Just as messy. Yeah. Me too. I need a rescue. These Artori Designs might be just the thing to save the day. They’re a clever little bit of engineering, using the footplate under the […]
The evolution of Harley Quinn [infographic]
Harley Quinn is a remarkable super villain in many ways; for a start her first appearance was as a TV toon character rather than in the comic books. Over the following 23 years she’s grown her profile and become a fan favourite. Batman and Joker fans are now looking forward the DC’s Suicide Squad movie […]
Superhero Week: Six-shooting Steampunk superheroines
Superhero Week draws to a close and we’ve had a bit of a steampunk theme. Let’s finish on the same note with a dozen steampunk style, six-shooter holding, superheroines. The art here is from Mahmud Asrar who we’ve featured before with superhero art. What do you make of this batch? A good mashup or are […]
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: The Evolution of Catwoman
There you have it; a tribute to one of the best anti-heroes/comic book characters of all time. I’m not sure it’s entirely fair to put the young Gotham Catwoman in there but, equally, she’s a perfectly valid Catwoman. Which is your favourite Catwoman era? Via Jeff Victor and an awesome collection of art. Let us […]
Superhero Week: What if Superman was adopted by the Waynes
Comic books aren’t shy of doing “What if…” as a scenario. Here’s one of my favourites. What if Superman was adopted by the Waynes and ended up taking the place of Batman. You’d have a super powered crime fighter with Batman’s outlook on life. Would it work? Here’s Cartoon Hooligan’s take on it. This is […]
Superhero Week: Hijab superhero self portraits
Nour Saleh is a hijab wearing Canadian. Last year she took up a Tumblr challenge to draw herself as different fictional characters. I love how Nour responded to that challenge. Not only did she imagine herself as various superheroes, she kept the hijab in all of the illustrations. I think the results work well and […]
