X-Men Born This Way

June 8, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a pretty funky song that the X-Men: First Class movie inspired. I’m told it’s a parody of a piece of music produced by a “Lady Gaga”. If true I have to wonder whether she’s a superhero too; has the name to match. I wonder what her powers might be? Kudos to Ryan from […]

Nintendo characters as X-Men

May 29, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Artist unknown – shout up if you know – comes this fantastic four X-Men meets Nintendo panels of art. My favourite, without a doubt, is Colossus Kong. In second place is Cyclops Luigi and Rogue Yoshi. How would you rate the collection?

X-Muppets: X-Men or Muppets?

May 18, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Mondo credit goes to the deviant artist Rahzzah for this clever digital mash-up. We take two bits of geek culture, two far removed and yet inclusive aspects of geek culture, and show how well they go together. I think the Animal Wolverine, in particular, is a work of genius. What do you think?

Read more comics: The X-Men family tree

February 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This has been doing the rounds for a while but given that X-Men First Class is drawer nearer, it does not harm to re-surface it here. It helps to pause on the legend in the top right as that spells out quirky “family tree” relationships like “clone”. For example, x-23 is a clone of Wolverine, […]

Anime X-Men trailer

February 20, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve got X-Men First Class to look forward to and worry about at the same time. There’s also another new X-Men franchise on the way. That’s Madhouse‘s anime version of X-Men for Animax. This is the same pair that produced the anime Ironman and Wolverine. The anime starts on April the 4th. We’re expecting to […]

X-Men: First Class mashup with Star Wars

February 17, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The trailer for X-Men: First Class has been out for about a week. Despite concerns about the franchise you can tell there’s real interest in this movie based on the speed at which blogs leapt on the video. You can also judge the interest levels because of the amount of First Class mashups out there. […]

X-Men: First Class trailer

February 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

That’s right folks. We have a trailer for X-Men: First Class. My first thought was whether they can save the franchise after a disappointing X-Men 3. My second thought was “What on Earth will they show?” I think it’s a pretty good trailer. We’ve Erik and Charles – who become known as Magneto and Professor […]

Superheroes transformed into women

April 17, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 12 Comments

Artists like Portal Comic / Hernan Cebrera and Elsa Chan are treating us to some visually stunning “What if” scenarios.

What if Sam Fisher, from Splinter Cell, was a woman?

What if Hellboy was Hellgirl?

Shall we find out?

We Are The X-Men teaser

March 2, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We Are The Watchmen – sorry, I mean – We Are The X-Men. It’s the blood on the logo that does it. I really did read this text as “We Are the Watchmen” when I first glanced at this in Google Reader. No. It’s X-Men. So what’s going on? My bet is an Avenger’s style […]
