There are few prop replicas in this world that have struck me such as this one. Sideshow Collectibles has created this eerily accurate representation of a Predators skull. Partnering with KNB EFX GROUP the pair bring us this highly detailed prop based on this years film Predators. Each one is a full scale replica from [...]

Cover of the Week: GREEN ARROW #3
The cover of Green Arrow #3 gives us a disturbing image of our emerald archer. It is also a cautionary tale of why you shouldn’t look at your bow when you load it. The highly detailed MAURO CASCIOLI cover caught my eye immediately. I usually like the covers that have female heroes on them, but [...]
Cover of the Week: Brightest Day #8
David Finch back in the COW section this week with a great cover for Brightest Day #8. I am really getting to like Hawkwoman more and more. Visually, she is a stunning character with her wings, but her head dress and mace are what really make her pop for me. I really like the earthy [...]
Cover of the Week: Birds of Prey #4
Girls kick ass! It’s just a cold… hard… fact. In this ass kicking cover for Birds of Prey #4, it looks like Black Canary has her hands full. Alina Urusov gives us not only a beautiful fight scene, but a great perspective to see it from. I get bored of fights that are the same [...]
The Walking Dead’s “Bicycle Girl” Featurette
With The Walking Dead TV show just about two months away, AMC has released a really cool featurette that show the process of making one of the unforgettable zombie scenes. Adapted from the popular comic book of the same name Frank Darabont is bringing the dead to life. This nifty behind the scenes look shows [...]
Marvel: The World Still Needs Heroes
This teaser image has just shown up on Marvel.com. For Thor fans everywhere we all know that this mace belongs to Thor’s fallen ally Thunderstrike. The headline at Marvel read “One Shall Rise in November, 2010″. It’s clear to see that the mace is meant to be the main focus, however, one cannot help but [...]
Sweet Swag: Batman Reborn Series 1 Action Figures
This is probably the best set of action figures from DC Direct in years. Make no mistake, the DCD toy line rarely puts out a bad collection of figures and in most cases always hits it out of the park. However, for me this set takes the grand prize in sculpts, paints and choice of [...]
Cover of the Week: Superman: The Last Family of Krypton
I love finding new artists for a our COW column. I know that I have my favorite people and I can be a little bias, but it looks like Felipe Massafera has just landed in my radar zone. The cover for Superman: The Last Family of Krypton caught my eye immediately. At first I thought [...]
Cover of the Week: Green Hornet #6
It has been quite some time since mega artist Alex Ross has visited our COW column and all I have to say is welcome back. Ross has been doing great covers for Kevin Smith’s The Green Hornet, but none have popped for me like the cover for issue #6. Smith’s Hornet has been a great [...]
Cover of the Week: SDCC Steve Rogers: Super Soldier #1 Variant
Along with action figure exclusive, San Diego Comic- Con also does some comic books as well. The offerings range from each publisher and most times the covers are pretty good. The fact that we are in San Diego has caused me to choose the SDCC Steve Rogers: Super Soldier #1 sketch variant. It shows a [...]
Sweet Swag: More Awesome Fan Threads
A few months ago we showed a few awesome t-shirts available through various websites. Some of the best sites out there are Busted Tees, Snorg Tees, 80s Tees, and Stylin Online. There’s some awesome stuff out there for movie, television, and comic fans out there. Below are a few more of my favorite swag.
Web Crawler: Futurama/ X-Men Meld
This is, possibly, one of the best pieces of fan art that I have ever seen. My favorite animated show is FUTURAMA and my favorite comic book team is the X-MEN. This is totally a match made in heaven for me. This image was created and posted by gottabecarl at DeviantArt. I would totally purchase [...]
