The Transformers Get Their Sgt Pepper On!!!

I love it when comic books take a queue from other pop culture properties for covers. It doesn't have to relate to the story or the comic itself, but if done correctly could portray the comic characters in a fun way. Case in point: Issue #12 of IDW Comics Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye. Artist Nick Roche decided to channel the original Big 4, The Beatles, and have the Autobots & Decepticons get their Sgt. Pepper on. Now I don't read this comic and apparently Optimus is not around in the storyline (I don't know why), but I sure do know a cool cover when I see one. And this is it. Thanks to my main man Dan from It's A Dan World for keeping me in the comic book loop. Check out the cover after the jump....



Here is the original Sgt. Pepper cover:

And here is issue #12 of the Trasnformers from IDW:

How Did I Ever Not Know About Gangnam Style?

I love when a blog about one thing give you content on something completely different and it is gold. I read It's A Dan World because it is one of the best comic book blogs out there. Dan keeps me abreast of all that is going on in the comic book world and does it in a fantastically original way. But when I saw his post about a Korean dance sensation known as Gangnam Style. How the fuck did I not know about this shit? While the original video by artist PSY is fucking fantastic (you can see it after the jump), you have to love the version that Dan posted featuring Deadpoool & Bane. This is fucking amazing, but you must watch the first original video to get the full impact of the Deadpool one. Check em both out after the jump...

Daniel Scott Gabriel Murray Makes Digital Art Come To Life...

I read a ton of websites everyday and find a lot of the content that I post here on CCD from fellow bloggers who have a keen eye for awesome. When it comes to the comics, one of the best sites on the web has to be It's A Dan World.  Yesterday he featured an artist by the name of Daniel Scott Gabriel Murray and some of his many interesting digital creations. I then decided to dig a bit deeper and check out Murray's website to see if he had anything else worth posting... boy, that is an understatement! My man Dan has tons of cool art on his site, and he features a bunch of the more obscure characters  that I always like to see mixed in with the typical favorites. All artists can conceptualize a Batman piece... but can you take on The Shadow (Sam, the Shadow piece after the jump is for you)? Check out my favorite pieces of Mr. Murray and tell him that CCD sent ya...
