Marvel 's Scariest Wolverine Cover Ever

Admittedly,  I do not read Wolverine all that often.  Not that I don't like him as a character, but mainly because there are just too many titles.  As a novice Wolverine reader I am confused when it comes to the continuity of this character and his relationship with the X-Men and the Marvel Universe.  Similar to what DC is doing with Batman.

"What If? Wolverine: Father" cover by Leinil Francis Yuonly only adds to my confusion.  Not that the art isn't wonderful but my Lord this makes this character even more confusing for a non-die-hard fan. 

Could that kid be anymore scary?  Freakin kid is like something out of a John Carpenter or Wes Craven movie. I thought "Child's Play" was scary, but Chucky's a light-weight compared to this thing.

Superhero/Peanuts Mash-up

Michelle Lana created these stupendous superhero cartoons.  I don't know if she intentionally did a Peanuts/Superhero mash-up, but I love the way they look.

Kevin Bacon Cast as Villian in X-Men First Class Movie

X-Men: First Class, which is being directed by Matthew Vaughn (Stardust, Kick-Ass), has been on a casting tear since we discovered that Vaughn would be taking over.


Kevin Bacon has been confirmed in the role of an unknown villain for the movie.  That's right, the Kevin Bacon game has invaded the world of superheroes.
Mystique has also been cast.  Mystique will now be played by Jennifer Lawrence, who has previously starred in The Burning Plain, Devil You Know, The Bill Engvall Show, and Winter’s Bone. Mystique was of course played by Rebecca Romijn in the first three X-Men movies.

X-Men: First Class also stars who will now officially be only one degree away from Kevin Bacon:  James McAvoy as Professor X, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Alice Eve as Emma Frost, Caleb Landry Jones as Banshee, and Lucas Till as Havoc.

Futurama X-Men = FANTASTIC

gottabecarl  posted this wonderful work of art on deviantART. Anytime Gfest can get their favorite animated characters re-imagined as their favorite superheroes makes for a damn good day.

The artist gottabecarl explains the inspiration behind this wonderfully creative picture.

A friend of mine suggested one day that it would be cool to see the characters of Futurama as X-Men and so I drew him Fry as Cyclops. For some reason I couldn't just stop there...and what came of it was a pretty extensive illustration with some of the most obscure characters from both the X-Men and Futurama universes.

Marvel Declares Nude Recreation Day is Now X-MEN Day

Marvel is releasing X-MEN #1 on July 8, the first X-MEN #1 in almost 20 years, so they took it upon themselves to just rename July 8th X-Men Day.  Problem is that our country was already scheduled to celebrate Nude Recreation Day on July 8th, so that takes some real balls on Marvel's part to try and steal it away. 

Although Cyclops penis sure seems like its trying its best to get out of that spandex and celebrate a little nufe recreation on the comic's cover.
