Superheroes as Pablo Picasso Envisioned Them

I always liked Picasso's art.  Each and every-time I view it, I can't help but think to myself, even I could paint a picture that looks like that.  Everything out of place, with multiple features and bright colors.

Now thanks to Mike and Matt over at Etsy, I now have a new found respect for Picasso and the cubist movement.  These superheroes postcards re-imagined as Picasso paintings are absolutely fabulous.

Mike and Matt are selling their bizarre superhero reinterpretations as prints and postcards over at Etsy, so once you check out our favorites below, head there and buy something to encourage them to keep pumping out these modern classics.

We can all be Tony Stark in Raytheon's Second-Generation Exoskeleton

Oh to be Iron Man...it's every comic fans dream.  While we cannot strap on our Iron Man suit like Tony Stark, the road to making it a reality just got a little bit closer.

Raytheon has unveiled its second-generation exoskeleton (XOS 2) robot suit. XOS 2 is lighter("light enough to play soccer in"), stronger and faster than its predecessor, yet it uses 50 percent less power, and its new design makes it more resistant to the environment. Watch the video!

Big Superheros + Small Heads = Beautiful Art

I doing my daily run down of comic related news when I stumbled upon a post from Comics Alliance (one of my favorite sites) about Patricio Betteo and his art.  I was captivated by these shrunken head superheros.  The small heads, elongated bodies and use of bright colors makes these unique superhero prints a must have for any collector.

The explorations on Betteo's deviantART account contain a lot of the same faces that other superhero-fan artists tackle on the site, like Iron Man, Hellboy and The Joker. Fortunately,  Betteo also incorporated one of my favorite all-time books into his one-of-a-kind art - BONE.  I love the piece with Rose and Fone Bone.  His Spider-Man meeting a fly scene is also extremely creative and very well done.

Sinestro Brand Moustache Wax and Other Superhero Endorsements

After years of ridicule, is Booster Gold's dream of being able to become a superhero millionaire simply by accepting endorsement deals now a reality?  Well no, but imagine if it was. 

Superheroes reach celebrity status.  They endorse products we all know.  And Booster Gold looks like a pioneer.  I don't even have a moustache, and I already want to buy some of the Sinestro Brand Stache Wax.

Nude Model Violet Molests an Iron Man Toy - Very NSFW!

Damn.  Iron Man has all the luck with the ladies. 

In what can only be described as a very strange, and very NSFW video, nude model Violet Erotica makes love to an Iron Man plush toy.  Now Violet is pretty damn hot, so we're willing to overlook the possible furry fetish. 

Seriously Violet, it's kind of weird. 
Of course, it's also kind of hot.
Still, you should probably talk to someone.

The Long Awaited R2D2 - Iron Man Crossover

Here’s an Iron Man-ified version of R2D2, complete with glowing chest arc reactor.  Read this quickly, because we're taking it down before George Lucas sees it and actually green lights the idea for whatever shitty way he's working on to ruin Star Wars today.

Sneak Peak at the Thor Movie

Gfest knows Iron Man 2 opens today (under somewhat mixed reviews), but Marvel's next big movie already has many fans salivating.  The first feature film based on Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's (Gfest Lifetime Achievement Award Winner) Norse God Thor.

The movie has been on location shooting for quite sometime, but no one has been lucky enough to to get a glimpse of the characters.  Many fans have been wondering about the choice for the role of Thor, Australian actor Chris Hemsworth.

Yahoo! Movies swindled the gods and the movie studio and received the very first picture of Hemsworth in the Thor costume. Thor opens on May 6, 2011.

Early Reviews For Iron Man 2 Are Not Good

Your friends at Gfest will not lie to you, we are not Tony Stark fans.  In our world there is only room for one bad-ass billionaire and his name is Bruce Wayne.

With that being said, Gfest thought "Iron Man 2" did look like a good movie from the trailers splattered all over the theaters and internet, and we were excited to see it.  But the early reviews are starting to roll in and according to the Hollywood Reporter, Iron Man 2 is no "Dark Knight'."

Hilarious Iron Man 2 Promotional Videos

Iron Man 2 is certainly not lacking from promotion.  I mean Robert Downey is EVERYWHERE, and we're honestly getting a little burnt out by it.  But don't let that take away from the hilarity of this new series of videos that show Iron Man making some damn funny cameos in various chick flicks.

Iron Man vs. Bridget Jones


Iron Man vs. Dirty Dancing


Want to see the rest of the series of videos like Iron Man vs Titanic or Iron Man vs When Harry Met Sally, go to our sister site GFEST TV where we keep all of our best videos.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Trailer - WOW!!

It's only been a decade since Gfest last saw a new Marvel vs. Capcom fighting game -- 2000's Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes.  But, despite the wait, the long, long wait (which will be a little bit longer 2011). It's coming and it looks damn good.  So good that if you're viewing the clip below in public, you may have the same experience you did in middle school when you looked at the pretty girl next to you in class. So be careful before leaving your desk.  Just warning you.
