The Chive put together a great slideshow of images mashing up comic book characters and their movie counterparts. I am always a fan of mashups, especially if they involve comic art. I have always and will continue to have an appreciation for any remediation of the artform.
I took my favorite and included them in this post. Check out the link above for the full list of images.
This is just a great feel good story of one five year-old and his impact on Marvel Comics. In a wonderful post on Upworthy, Anthony Smith no longer wanted to wear his hearing device claiming “Superheroes don’t wear hearing devices.”
Anthony’s mother wrote to Marvel Comics, asking them to draw a comic cover proving to her son that hearing devices are not uncool. In an act of awesomeness, Marvel Comics launched the Blue Ear Poster Campaign at a center for hearing-impaired kids in New York City.

At the young age of 88, Earl Norem, famous for breathing life into many comic book covers during their golden age, is back with a new original cover for Classics Obliterated #1 featuring Mars Attacks.
The original comics, and subsequent movie, are a personal favorite of mine and can truly appreciate the 50′s-style aesthetic Norem brings to this cover. You can see more of Norem’s work here.
A buddy of mine sent me a link to a series of drawings on IMGUR. While I am unable to find any information on the artist(s), I love the concept here. Below are a few of my favorite, as I have been a life-long Dolphins fan, I’ll start with them.
Have a favorite or would like to suggest any other matchups you would like to see, feel free to leave a comment below.

A little post Super Bowl trek through Deviant Art led me to this great work by Teryv83 where he imagines what the Simpsons would look like if they were collectively bitten by the Spiderman universe. Full disclosure, I have not watched the Simpsons in close to 15 years and felt ashamed that I did not know who every character in this work was. Naturally I can name every Spiderman counterpart.
