Superheroes as Pablo Picasso Envisioned Them

I always liked Picasso's art.  Each and every-time I view it, I can't help but think to myself, even I could paint a picture that looks like that.  Everything out of place, with multiple features and bright colors.

Now thanks to Mike and Matt over at Etsy, I now have a new found respect for Picasso and the cubist movement.  These superheroes postcards re-imagined as Picasso paintings are absolutely fabulous.

Mike and Matt are selling their bizarre superhero reinterpretations as prints and postcards over at Etsy, so once you check out our favorites below, head there and buy something to encourage them to keep pumping out these modern classics.

Is This the World's Greatest Superhero Cake?


I understand that there is an entire subset of our culture that's really into fancy cakes.  I confess that I don't really understand that culture, but I've seen the TV shows dedicated exclusively to extreme cake design as I flip around the channels on my TV. 

Maybe I should give them a second chance, because this cake is the coolest thing I've ever seen.  And how cool for Aquaman that he somehow made the cut.

The Avengers Discuss Their New Health Care Plan [NSFW Video]

First it was the Tea Party, Sarah Palin and Republicans members of Congress and now it's the Avengers - government run health care (or Obama Care as it is known in some circles) touches everyone, even earth's mightiest superheroes.

You will laugh through "Avengers Assemble! Episode 1: Healthcare," in which a group of cosplaying comedians imagine how Earth's Mightiest Heroes might respond to today's hot-button issue.

The sketch sees Tony Stark addressing the team's new health plan, with each Avenger inadvertently revealing their health care needs as they inquire about how reform impacts their lives. Scarlet Witch is worried about her artificial domestic partner and imaginary children, Hawkeye's worried about STD's and unwanted pregnancies, Thor feels marginalized as a god from another realm and Wolverine is just happy to be Canadian.

Sinestro Brand Moustache Wax and Other Superhero Endorsements


After years of ridicule, is Booster Gold's dream of being able to become a superhero millionaire simply by accepting endorsement deals now a reality?  Well no, but imagine if it was. 

Superheroes reach celebrity status.  They endorse products we all know.  And Booster Gold looks like a pioneer.  I don't even have a moustache, and I already want to buy some of the Sinestro Brand Stache Wax.

Lucas Lee Movie Posters (From Scott Pilgrim vs The World)



Scott Pilgrim VS The World opens this weekend, and gfest couldn't be more excited.  The series of books was fantastic, but the marketing campaign around the movie has been outstanding. 

Now Team Pilgrim has released a fake viral campaign for the movies within the movie that star Lucas Lee, Ramona’s second evil ex-boyfriend played by Captain America Chris Evans.

We love them.  What do you think?
