These incredible mash-ups feature superheroes who’ve been given ’80s rock star makeovers for their comic book covers. The designs are the work of Butcher Billy who has incorporated some iconic 80′s images into the covers. There’s Plastic Man/The Cure, a fierce Aquaman/Billy Idol and check out the Big 80′s hair on the Wonder Woman/Siouxsie and the Banshees cover!

You never really imagine superheroes raising kids, but Andry-Shango thought about it and worked up a beautiful series of images that show superheroes at their nurturing best. Superman, Wonder Woman and even Aquaman have their kids ready to go, complete with backpacks and appropriate weapons. I think the Golden Jumprope of Truth might be the best of the bunch.

Are you a superhero or a Disney character or a Transformer or a Starfleet Captain or a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or Gandalf? Regardless of which genre you come from or who you are, there’s room for you in the TARDIS. The Doctor will keep everyone safe.
I can’t believe how many characters artist Dean Trippe included in this incredibly detailed illustration! Click on the image to enlarge and check out the guide if you want to identify everyone.

Lots of parents write notes on their kids’ napkins and they may even come with little hearts and smiley faces, but artist Nina Levy has taken lunchbox napkin art to a whole new level. She decorates her nine and five-year-old sons’ napkins with superhero versions of dogs done in full color with waterproof markers. I think Nina qualifies as a bona fide Super Mom.

Batman has been drawn hundreds of thousands of times, but I’ve never seen art quite like this. The way artists are constantly bringing new interpretations to the table impresses me, and I’m especially in awe of this work by Jeffrey Veregge. He’s taken familiar comic book characters like the Bat, Superman, Hellboy, Flash, and Spider-Man and presented them in straightforward, no fuss art with a Native American twist. He says,
[My work] is a reflection of a lifetime love affair with comic books, toys, TV and film. Taking my passions and blending them with my Native perspective.

Here’s some art for everyone who’s ever wondered what superheroes do on their days off. This is the second installment in a series of prints from Gregoire Guillemin that imagine what superheroes do when they’re not being super. It’s kind of just like what the rest of us do, but with a snazzier wardrobe.

We all need to escape the grind of everyday life with a little Dungeons and Dragons, even superheroines. DeviantArtist Kyle Latino has taken the heroines of the DC Universe and set them up for a day of roleplaying complete with pizza and Mountain Dew. I’d love to know what Wonder Woman just did to make poor Batgirl look so aghast.

Maybe if we all click our heels three times and wish really hard, we can turn this fan-made trailer into a real movie. It’s directed by stuntman Jesse V. Johnson and features Nina Bergman as Wonder Woman who kicks some evil Nazi butt. This isn’t shiny and pretty, but gritty and real and it would be incredible to see this as an actual movie.

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.

American Airlines just got cooler. On a recent flight landing in Boston, Lawrence Wright encountered a flight attendant who used a memorable phonetic alphabet. He announced to the plane they would be arriving at gate B 11, as in Batman 11. Their luggage would be at carousel C, as in Captain America. I like this better than Bravo and Charlie.
The attendant, Mr. Owens, shared his entire code with Wright and I can only hope that more people adopt it. Check it out after the break.
