Learning your ABC’s is one of those things all kids do, but I have to figure it’s way more fun learning them with this sci fi and comic based ABC Block Bamboo Wall Art by Etsy artist Tofufu Studios.
They’re still working on the full alphabet, but they look to be starting in a very good place

Artist Nicholas Hyde has taken comic superheroes and plopped them down in ancient Greece in these prints available on Etsy. Batman, Spider-Man and Thor have all been given a makeover and they’re all still fighting bad guys in a style that would look perfect on a priceless vase.

Artist Phil Postma came up with the idea of a Pixar/Superhero mash-up after Disney bought Marvel. He’d already done mash-ups with Star Wars, Doctor Who and Star Trek, so this was another chance to create something familiar yet different. He did the work with Photoshop, drawing mostly from The Incredibles with a little bit of Brave and Ratatouille. I love that he also made them look like a set of trading cards.

Straight from CES come these ridiculously cute superhero cases for the iPhone 4/5 and the iPod touch. They’re made by Huckleberry who calls them Chara-Cases. In addition to the line of DC and Marvel characters pictured, the plan is to release additional characters every month to expand the line, and it won’t be just superheroes. Look for Pixar, Disney and Despicable Me cases in the future. You can’t actually buy them just yet, but they should be available soon at a retail price of $34.95.

Funko has announced a team-up between Domo and DC Comics that’s giving us these fantastic blind box vinyl figures. Each measures 2.5″ tall and will retail for $5.95 when they debut on February 28th. There are 14 different characters, some of which come in more than one version.
You’ll be able to collect Batman (3 versions), Robin (2 versions), Superman (2 versions), Clark Kent, Aquaman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Shazam, The Riddler and Two-Face. Some of them are more rare than others, as you can see by the ratios in the first image. Superman with his shirt open is ridiculously rare with only 1/144 boxes holding him inside!

Everyone should have house banners as cool as the ones in Game of Thrones and deviantArtist Lokiable is making it happen for characters from Marvel and DC. Each banner has a sigil and a slogan that perfectly fits each character, and it’s not just superheroes. There are banners for House Skywalker, House Baggins, and House Croft, too.

These absolutely beautiful portraits of the women of DC Comics are the work of DeviantArtist Kit. He has created nine different portraits featuring heroes and villains and they’re all stunning. I think Catwoman with the little cat just visible at her feet is my favorite.

These custom Kias were all recently unveiled at the SEMA Auto Show as part of a joint effort with DC Entertainment to promote We Can Be Heroes which fights hunger on the Horn of Africa. They already revealed a Batman Optima SXL but now there’s also an Aquaman Rio, Batman Optima, Flash Forte Koup, Cyborg Forte and Green Lantern Soul. Each car features custom artwork by Jim Lee, and it’s not just on the outside of the vehicle. Every inch, including the interiors and trunks, features character theming. I think the center console full of Batarangs is a particularly nice touch.
