Three awesome body paint jobs featuring everyones favorite neighborhood Symbiote that takes over it's hosts brain and turns it into a rampaging supervillain, Venom.

Iron Man's Drunk Again...

I love the videos that the guys over at Dorkly post, mostly because they take cool nerd tidbits and turn them into classic originals. Take this riff on Marvel vs. Capcom that has Spidey calling on Iron Man for a teammate assist, only for Tony to show up all 'Demon In A Bottle-d' up and unable to help at all. Love the Jill Valentine cameo as well... Check out the video after the jump.

Amazing Spider Man #50 Gets A Drive Re-Design By Artist Nick Felvideki

The Amazing Spider Man #50 and it's cover by John Romita are legendary to all comic book geeks around the world. It is one of the most iconic covers ever. But given that everyone EXCEPT Oscar nominee voters has been completely obsessed with Ryan Gosling's portrayal of the stunt man in Drive, artist Nick Felvideki decided to incorporate this into his re-design. The results are epic. Seriously, how the fuck was Drive not nominated for Best Picture. At the very least Christina Hendricks should have been nominated for Best Juggs in an Dramatic Performance... wait, what??? Click after the jump for the original and Felvideki's re-design...

Michael Buble Gives The Spider-Man Theme Some Jazz Swag...


... and thank god Emo-haired Toby McGuire was nowhere in sight! This awesome jazz version of the Spidey theme came to my attention courtesy of brother Cal, but the link he sent me was broke. So I headed over to Youtube and searched Michael Buble /Spiderman... and I was hit with a ton of videos! I picked this one because it is set to footage from The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon, and that show is bad ass. Enjoy the complete video after the jump!

Self taught Indonesian photographer Agan Harahap has an outrageous photo blog that features some awesome photos, but the coolest have to be his photo-shopped images of Superheroes participating in World War II. They are gritty and amazing... see all 5 of these wonderful pics after the jump.

Check Out The New Ultimate Spider Man...


The first image of the new Ultimate Spider-Man has been released and I am a very happy fellow. After killing of Peter Parker a few months back in June, teenager Miles Morales is taking over the Spidey suit. And here is the kicker: He is half black, half latino!!! Good for Marvel... I am glad to see them willing to take some chances with a multicultural superhero in such a visible title. Since the Ultimate universe is about doing things you CAN'T DO in regular continuity, why not get someone other then a white guy in there? I will be checking this one out for sure. Thanks to my boy Cal from The Cave of Cool for this tip.

'The Amazing Spider-Man' Trailer Hits... So What Do You Think?

Webb & Garfield at a Spider-Man press conference
Sometime yesterday afternoon the Amazing Spider-Man trailer hit, making it the third superhero movie (the leaked Avengers preview and The Dark Knight) that will not be out until next summer to release a trailer now. I am getting a bit tired of following all of this nonsense of talking about movies that are a year or more away from coming out, so I have not been covering all the news on these releases even though they interest me. Yet this trailer intrigues me because it showed 2:30 minutes of footage, and most of it was ACTUAL FOOTAGE. Bravo to Marc Webb and the team behind the Spidey reboot for putting out a trailer that ACTUALLY has images from the movie for me to get excited about. Chris Nolan may want to go the whole dark & mysterious route with a trailer full of whispering and old footage from his first two movies, but other then the 1 second shot of Bane's mask we saw NOTHING NEW. In this Spider-Man clip we get to see Andrew Garfield as both Peter Parker and Spidey, the sexy Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, and lots of the supporting cast. We also get to see the unique "Spidey's Eye View" perspective of Spider-Man swinging around that was absent from the Raimi movies. It's puts you right in the action. So what do you think? Are you in or out for this one? Tell us your thoughts in the comment section below.

'I'd Buy That...As a Tee!' ...Volume 3 by Jeff Bond

Spring has sprung and I could use a few new unique T-Shirts to really make a statement without saying a word. A Statement like "I'm a geek that doesn't take much of anything seriously...I'm approachable and easily abused."

Here's some of the T-shirts I have my eye on to do just the trick but, there's only one problem....they aren't for sale yet! Please click the links below to the  Threadless.com voting pages for each and give these beauties '5' ratings so I can throw 'em on my charge card one day.

'Bigfoot Spotted On....' Endor! Only that's NO 'Bigfoot' that's the one and only Chewbacca milling about amongst the shrubbery. I love that if you actually do cozy up a bit closer to 'Read What Locals Are Saying' as the t-shirts suggests, you'll find nothing but, the native language of the cute and cuddly Ewoks! Unless, of course, you read 'Ewok'...than please feel free to translate for me in the comment section below



'Insane For Brain' is a play on the Cypress Hill lyric, of course..but, this shirt would look kinda loco plastered around my chest cavity when I'm front and center for the next season of 'Walking Dead' on AMC!


**Please click on 'READ MORE' below for quite a few more Tees!***



'The Punished' is the logo one might wear AFTER coming in contact with 'The Punisher'. I like the idea behind it. 'Nuff said!



'Delicious Forest Friends' is one you'll have to click on the link to behold. Just one of those bat-shit crazy tees I'd love to find my gal wearing when I knock on the door to pick her up for a date.

Delicious Forest Friends - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever



'Samurai Snapper' kinda gives me an old skool 'Don Bluth film' feel on a rendering of the classic line of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'....hiiiiii-ya! 



'Yoda's Angels' teams, what appears to be, female Jedi: Shaak Ti, Bariss Offee, Aayla Secura in the iconic silhouette of Bosley's gals. 



'Dextoon' pairs the old black & white cartoon shorts of yester-year with that of Showtime's murderous vigilante, Dexter Morgan. I love a good Dexter mash-up...because it always reminds people of ME! And if it don't, ah well...it's a great design anyhoo.



'The Cube' that has Transformer Optimus Prime baffled in this particular case, is not made of 'Energon' but, it is...alas, the elusive 'Rubki's Cube'. Pssst..Here's a hint, Prime. Peel of the stickers and than put them back on in proper order! The world will never know you're intelligence level is less than meets the eye!



'Tetris Skull' is an absolutely brilliant design! I wish I'd thunk of it! This player will NEVER clear out the lines with all that wasted eye socket space, though. Better to hit 'reset' and start from scratch! I gotta have it!



Here's some t-shirts from, yet another, kewl t-shirt vendor, 'SplitReason.com'. Unlike the t-shirts above that require high scores to make them available to the general public...these are available to purchase NOW! Gimme Gimme!! 

'Evolution of Evil' shows man's penchant for war leading to the darkest and deadliest of outcomes. 



'Chocovania's II: Yummy's Quest' might just be MY FAVORITE t-shirt design of this week's posting. A General Mills cereal/Konami Classic mash-up featuring 'Yummy Mummy' in the Belmont the vampire slayer role...to Count Chocula's version of said vampire. I love the concept...love the design...and want to see anything else it's creator might come up with masing-up other General Mills Monsters with classic NES games. One second while I order this one and get right back to my post......



.....PURCHASED!...and I'm back!


'Over the Line', for some unholy reason, features John Goodman's Walter Sobchak from 'The Big Lebowski' movie as the 'Stay Puft Marshmallow Man' from 'Ghostbusters' infamy. Is this what Jeff Bridges would have imagined his death by, up on that rooftop, if he had played 'Ray Stantz'? I hate this! NO I love it...NO I hate it! 



'The Beach Boys' reminds me of simpler times playing in the sand on vacation with my Star Wars figures. 'Tis a fun one that would make a great baby one-zie. That's baby Jabba slurpin' on a squid-scream cone, while baby Luke bounces around in his inflatable Yoda life preserver....but, the baby Tusken Raider takes the cake! 



Finally this week I give you the Amazing, the Spectacular....'Man-Spider vs. Octopus Doctor'! Simple enough idea...switch the names around! Kinda like 'Man-Bat' but, I paticularly like this artist's style. That angry arachnid is something to behold detailed in Spider-Man colours...and that octopus is something only my buddy Cal could hate!


P.S. .....I didn't really buy that 'Chocovania II' tee. My birthday's fastly approaching (July 2nd!) ...size Large please...thank you very much!

See ya next time T-Shirters!
