And To Think That I Hulked Out On Mulberry Street

I love looking back into an artists work and seeing what else they have done and doing that with cartoonist and illustrator Ryan Dunlavey is a treasure trove. These are four Dr. Seuss-inspired superhero books that I am well familiar with.

SpongeBob Avengers Assemble

There has been a ton of art generated with the release of The Avengers, but Alex Ryan's Planki’s Army grabbed my attention, probably because my eldest son is really getting into superheroes and SpongeBob SquarePants. Also, I love SpongeBob as Thor and Patrick as the Hulk. (Alex Ryan for draw2d2)

I'm pretty much a sucker for any characters in the Breakfast Club pose, even though Tony Stark would be a better John Bender, at least in terms of attitude. But I suppose he's Brain Johnson, as the brains. (From ninjaink)

動新聞 美國深夜脫口秀大風吹
Confused about the late-night battle and scheduling machinations of NBC, Jay and Conan? Then why not have a Taiwanese news channel explain it to you in animated form, with NBC CEO Jeff Zucker as Captain America, Jay Leno as Superman and Conan O'Brien as The Hulk? Makes perfect sense to me know. From the folks who brought you the Tiger Woods accident, via The Ampersand.

Superheroes Come In All Shapes and Cliches

I'd want to be the rich avenger, but only if it came with real super powers. See the video at the bottom to understand why. From Threadless designer Joshua Kemble.



The Real Story of the Superheroes

From photographer Dulce Pinzón: The Mexican immigrant worker in New York is a perfect example of the hero who has gone unnoticed. It is common for a Mexican worker in New York to work extraordinary hours in extreme conditions for very low wages which are saved at great cost and sacrifice and sent to families and communities in Mexico who rely on them to survive.

The principal objective of this series is to pay homage to these brave and determined men and women that somehow manage, without the help of any supernatural power, to withstand extreme conditions of labor in order to help their families and communities survive and prosper. (See all 16 photos here)



Do those workers ever wish they had real super powers? From Norwegian director Stian Hafstad: This is the story of Arne, who is convinced he has super powers. He just hasn't found them yet. So he decides to put up a wanted note for an archenemy, hoping that it will help him discover his true powers.

The Justice League and a completely ordinary human save the city. Sometimes not having super powers makes it a little hard to deal with your peers.
