Game Of Thrones: A Dance With Dragon's Lair

Ah, so that's where Dirk the Daring got to. (Andy Hunter for Draw2D2)

Khal Drogo as Mario? Yes, please! And fighting on the weirwood tree from the opening credits is a nice touch. (Alex Ryan for Draw2D2)

The Church Of The Mushroom Kingdom

Our Mario, who art in castles
hallowed be thy Name,
thy Mushroom Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
in castles as it is in warp zones.
Give us this day our daily 1-UP
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive Koopas
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into lava,
but deliver us from Bowser.
For thine is the Mushroom Kingdom,
and the power-ups, and the Starman,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

(Mushroom Kingdom by Ian Glaubinger)

The Justice League Of The Ottoman Empire

Because who wasn't wondering what the Justice League would like depicted in the Ottoman style of classical art? Berk Senturk satisfies that curiosity.

Game Of Thrones Last Supper

Got sucked into a Game of Thrones reddit thread and came across this Last Supper illustration by sheilalala on deviantart. My current and constant obsession together at last!

The disciples of Christ (in this case Tyrion "The Imp" Lannister) are divided between House Stark and House Lannister (and the small council), which doesn't seem like a very cohesive group - and adds a few extra disciples. It also appears to make Catelyn Stark the Judas figure to Tyrion's Christ. She did kidnap him, sure, but I'm not far enough in the books to know if there's more to it than that.

Choose X-Men Life

Choose your future. Choose life . . . But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

Begbie is Wolverine and Renton is Cyclops? Yeah, I think that's a decent characterization. I can't really speak for the other three X-Men. Anyone? (New X-Men by George Sarell, via Comics Alliance)

Return Of The Great Pop Culture Showdowns

It's been awhile since I've posted one of Scott Campbell's showdowns, but he has a new show on at Gallery 1988 with over 200 new ones, so I couldn't resist. Above are eight of my favourites — check the show for the rest. Also, I love that he did one of Delicatessen!
