It’s the first of July and the first ever Superhero Week here at Geek Native. Superhero Week means along with all the gaming, anime, computer game goodness that you’ll expect – there’s a supercharged boost of superhero specials. Here’s a question – how does any blog begin their Superhero Week special? After much though, over […]
Incredible LEGO Superman mosaic
Based off Jim Lee’s Superman is this impressive LEGO mosaic from Dave Ware (aka BrickWares). What does the Jim Lee artwork look like? Glad you asked. Image via Brothers Brick. Original here.
Superheroes on the D&D alignment chart
I think this superhero and villain alignment chart is particularly good. It takes the old school Dungeons and Dragons alignment scale and uses heroes and villains to populate it. The rest is that old D&D geeks get a kick out of the retro chic and the newer native geeks get an easy way to see […]
The deadly cute of art of Christopher Uminga
Do check out the website of Christopher Uminga as he draws some fantasticly cute and dangerous comic book heroes and villians. He also takes commission. A sample of his work recently surfaced on Buzzfeed, which I’ll repost some of below, so I imagine he’ll be very busy with new requests. You’ll see from the sample […]
Australia takes the cloak off new superhero car license plates
Do you have a personalised license plate for your car? If so then you’re two steps further on than this blogger who doesn’t even drive. Australia has just gone and upped the geek game. It’ll soon be possible to get some DC Comic superhero license plates. Drive forward Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Supergirl, Green Lantern […]
The Scottish schmuck Grant Morrison denys God for Superman
Like the post title? Don’t get me wrong – the real schmuck is the one hurling insults around; not Morrison. There’s a panel in Action Comics #1, the new one, that’s upset some people who like to project their religious views on to other people. While protecting their views, calling Grant Morrison a Scottish schmuck, […]
Superman is no longer American; renounces citizenship
In Action Comics No. 900 Superman will renounce his US citizenship. I know this will cause debate. Geek Native has already seen comments on some of the Wonder Woman costume debate that complain about the “removal” of America from superheroes. Geek Native reader Fringe330 wrote: “What is it with ppl trying to take America out […]
Kneel before ZOD (er, kitchens)
What if General ZOD made kitchens. Rather than bother Superman with general world conquering ambitions imagine that ZOD was content to build high quality kitchen units. Can you imagine that? Maybe this will help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ9yYpUooiw Makes sense. Right? You’d be certain that the workers in the kitchen unit assembly warehouse worked hard, effectively and had […]
Fan-made Superman animation; short but punchy!
This is a very short video. It’s only 2:35 long and most of that is the credits – however, watch to the end because you get a short scene with Robb Pratt, the animator, who reveals extra layers of cleverness. You see, this isn’t just a quality piece of animation. This Superman cartoon is drenched […]
Lego Phantom Zone
This is cool. Chris Doyle is more than just reasonably clever. He’s a guru of Lego design and smart ideas. The 2D black prison which contained the infamous General Zod from the Superman films in part of geek culture. Surely it deserves to be re-created in Lego? Isn’t Lego such a perfect choice of tool […]
