CubeDude M.O.D.O.K.

Originally uploaded by polywen

Apparently, in the LEGO fan community there's a specific style of character building called CubeDude that was developed by a guy who just so happens to work for Pixar. At any rate, LEGO fans jumped all over the design this guy developed, creating numerous variations depicting endless versions of different characters [...]

For the most part, I've been pretty unimpressed with the offerings from both Marvel and DC's direct to video animated movies, but I'll cop to being hesitantly positive about this week's Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, if for no other reason than seeing all these cold-powered villains together got my nerd senses a tingling!

Man, the art for Boom! Studios' new Wall-E Series looks fantastic. Yeah, it's not the final cover art, but if the interiors looks half as amazing as these promo images, then The Kid™ is going to be a very, very pleased little girl. As for the writing, CBR has a pretty interesting interview with the series [...]
