Justice League Brewery: Adult Beverages In Honor Of The JLA by Marcello Rizzetto


My love for comics was forged at a very early age. I remember being four or five and walking into my local neighborhood candy store, seeing a rack of comics, and falling in love with how colorful they were. From that point on I spent my life idolizing comic book characters, buying and collecting hundreds and thousands of them through the years. But now I am a grown up geek, and I have grown up needs. Enter graphic designer Marcello Rizzetto, who must be in the same boat as me and decided to do something about it. He created a six pack of beers based on the core six members of the Justice League, with each beer taking on characteristics of each hero. This is a killer idea. Superman as a super strong Pale Ale. Wonder Woman as an American Lager. The Flash as an Irish Red Ale. Aquaman as a Belgian Blonde Ale. Green Lantern as a special edition St Patrick's Day Green Beer. And finally Batman as a Dark Ale. It all works so perfect, both in reference to the heroes and to the potentially deliciousness of these beers! I can get behind this. You can see all 6 beers after the jump, and hopefully we see something like this in the future...

JLA Quote Posters


I found these bad boys over at Cal's Canadian Cave of Cool, and boy are they fantastic. They take some of the best members of the Justice League of America and uses some key quotes from the characters history. Most of the quotes come from the comics (the issue #'s are cited... cool), but Batman's comes from The Dark Knight Rises. These are great posters. Love the abstract nature of them, and the quotes are perfectly fitting for each. Check 'em all out after the jump...

Justice League of the Round Table by The Comic Fan

My main man Cal up in Canada sure does find some gems to post on his awesome blog The Cave of Cool. One of the cooler things he has posted in the past few weeks has got to be these medieval renderings of The Justice League of America by a Deviant Artist who goes by The Comic Fan. I love the way he recreated each individual character in a way that befits their counter parts of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. Pretty great detail and innovative ideas on how to make the more mystical characters like Martian Manhunter & Green Lantern into Knights without sacrificing their original looks. I would love to read a book like this from DC in the vein of Marvel 1602, especially if Neil Gaiman was writing it. All around pretty cool. Thanks for another winner Cal... check out the pieces after the jump!

JLA Paint Blots by Nicholas Hyde

I am always a fan of anytime we get a representation of the big 7 from the Justice League, but these minimalistic  paint blotted styles for the 7 characters just absolutely took my breath away. Artist Nicholas Hyde really gets the basics right on these, but gives them his own special spin to make them unique. Click after the jump for all 7 pieces...

Daniel Morpheus Shows Us What A Justice League Movie Might Look Like...

Lets face it... now is a great time to be  a comic geek/movie fan. Marvel finally got their shit together & has been killing the movie market over the last 5 years leading up to next summers compilation blockbuster "The Avengers". It is going to be epic. While DC has been able to make some great animated features and Batman is doing great, the rest of the companies forays into film have not gone so well. Will we ever get a team movie starring the Justice League? I doubt it. But artist Daniel Morpheus has given us a sneak peak on what this movie could possibly look like, using comic artist Frank Quietly's original team drawing as inspiration. Check out his awesome cast choices for the other team members that have yet to make a silver screen debut. Both a comparison shot and the full piece are available after the jump.

The new piece:


The proposed cast:

Justin Hartley as Aquaman
Doug Jones as Martian Manhunter
Ryan Reynolds as Green lantern
Bradley Cooper as The Flash
Henry Cavill as Superman
Christian Bale as Batman
Bridget Reagan as Wonder Woman

Bloops Takes On The Justice League, Minimalistic Style


I have been featuring more and more artists who have taken to expressing themselves in the minimalist format for some reason. I'm not exactly sure why, but i think it has something to do with the simplistic nature of the designs that go into a minimalistic take on something. While someone might think that since the designs are simple then they must be easy to create, if you see truly good minimalistic art then you know that this is not the case at all. While they may be simple, the artist must capture distinct details of the subject matter in order for the pieces to work. Case in point: Check out artist Bloops take on the Justice League of America. These are wonderful... just wonderful. You can see the whole crew represented after the jump...
