Batman Boba Fett


Because he's the bounty hunter the galaxy deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So he'll hunt the scum and villainy because he can take it. Because he's not our bounty hunter. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight. (Bobatman by Plinio Pinto at Draw2D2)

Brown Recluse Spider-Man


I suppose you wouldn't want the powers of a Daddy Longlegs either, especially as they aren't even spiders. Who knew? (With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility by Hark! A Vagrant)

The Breakfast Club Vs. The X-Men


Asks Rahzzah: "How about, instead of reboots, Hollywood starts doing mash-ups?" Oh, yes please! Hey Hollywood, look though a few pages of this blog if you need any inspiration. (The Xavier's Club by Rahzzah, via Comics Alliance)

Characters’ Favorite Musical Artists


I've always been a fan of Jughead, but all the more now that I know he's a Pavement fan. And Pepé Le Pew like Liz Phair? Cool, as long as it's for Exile in Guyville, Whip-Smart & Whitechocolatespaceegg. From artist and illustrator Karl Heitmueller, who has three other of these charts. (From Flavorwire, thanks John Farrier)

Holy Trivia, Batman!


"Unless a contestant can rack up never-before-seen perfect score of $566,400 in a special live broadcast, a group of hidden bombs will destroy Gotham City!

The only thing that can stand in the way of complete destruction is the most off-beat team-up of all: The razor-sharp intellect of Batman and the unflappable Canadian game-show hosting skills of TV's Alex Trebek! Will a few well-chosen categories be enough to save the day, or will Trebek and Batman be facing... Final Jeopardy!?"

From Comics Alliance's Great Comics That Never Happened series, by Dr. McNinja creator Christopher Hastings, colorist Carly Monardo and Dr. K.

The Office Avengers


The latest mashup challenge at Draw2D2 is The Office vs. The Avengers, which means there will be a whole lot of great looking pop art that I will only half understand the references, such as Andy Hunter's work above.

Snoopy's World War I Flying Ace gets an update. It's not quite as whimsical as the original. (Jacob Borshard's Creebobby comics via Nakatomi Stuff)

Bloom County: To Russia With Love


Dismayed that there has never been a Bloom County movies (what's up with that, Berkeley Breathed?), Jesse J. Barboza went ahead and created a plot and poster, featuring the whole cast:

"I began kicking around a plot idea similar to the 1984 anti-Commie "classic" Red Dawn - something like the Ruskies invade Milo's Meadow and all hell breaks loose. But then I built on it even further with the idea that the Russians kidnap former Communist defector Bill the Cat, and it's up to the residents of the Bloom Boarding House to bring him back in one piece."

Who Observes The Observer?


"The scientist will look up and shout "Save him!"... and I'll look down and whisper "The boy is important. He has to live."

A Fringe/Watchman mashup? Yup, awesome and only on sale for a few more hours. (Dana Lechtenberg for RIPT Apparel)

The Charlie Sheen Comics Page


You know, I wanted to avoid posting about Charlie Sheen, I really did, but when his bat-shit insane rants moved into comics even I had to relent. What can I do? It's funny stuff.

Endless Last Supper

A commission by artist Tom Fowler featuring Neil Gaiman's The Endless: Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Despair, Desire and Delirium from The Sandman. At the rik of losing whatever little geek cred I have, I'll admit to not having read The Sandman, but it's on my list, honestly. I'm trying to make up for my general lack of comics knowledge. Anyway, it appears that Death is in the Jesus slot (natch) with the Judas role filled by Destruction. Did I get that right, fans?
