Let’s write out all the zeroes Stan Lee Media are hoping to take off Disney. It’s $5,500,000,000. Hmm. Tasty. The grounds of the case are pretty straight forward (unless you start to get too legal). Stan Lee Media claim ownership over all the characters that Stan Lee ever invented. This means they want cash from […]
The Justice League and The Avengers as chambara samurai
The word “Chambara” is used to describe a genre of movies in Japan with the focus on sword fighting. They’re very often samurai peroid pieces set somewhere between 1600 and 1868. Talented deviant artist Alex Mitchell must have wondered what some of America’s most famous superheroes; the Justice League and The Avengers would look like […]
Cosplay made DragonCon 2012 level 2 of awesome
Once cosplay might have been considered lame or even weird. Okay, maybe it still is – but only by those fools who’ve yet to succumb to the geek way. I look at this awesome video by Micah Moore and my jaw hits the keyboard. I don’t have the blog-skills, the wordsmithing ability, enough command of […]

It begins with the aftermath of the battle and with the predictable blame game starting up. It also shows the tensions in the relationship between Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria […]
Deleted Avengers clip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNhqVX8RksY This clip was deleted from the film version of The Avengers but will appear on the The Avengers Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D and DVD which should be in most shops before Christmas. I like the clip. It shows the conflict Banner has over this identity. Is he the Hulk? If he’s the Hulk then his […]

Fantasy Warrior versions of The Avengers
Deviant Artist The Durrrrian responded to a request from his housemate to paint The Avengers in a fantasy setting. He joked it seemed like a good thing to do while bored the class. The following is a sample of his work – I hope he’s bored in class quite a lot this year! Via Geek […]
