Even superheroes need a day off from fighting big bad guys. What do they do in their free time though? Matt Kaufenberg has taken the time to imagine and illustrate what some of the Avengers would do if they had a free day. Hulk is playing a Smash-A-Loki game, Thor tends his garden, and Agent Coulson… well, he doesn’t take any time away from his job.

One of the best parts of all this Avengers hype is seeing the cool things fans put together as a tribute to their favorite superheroes. We have Ken Robichaud, Avengers fan and Lego enthusiast, to thank for these fabulous recreations of their iconic weapons. These are 1:1 scale, so you can actually wield Thor’s hammer without being Thor. Just don’t smash stuff with it because you’ll have a Lego catastrophe all over the floor.

Clearly, The Avengers relationship status on Facebook should be set to “it’s complicated”.

With the release of these new Avengers flash drives, we now know that the power of Thor’s hammer, Captain America’s shield, Iron Man’s helmet, and the Hulk’s disembodied fist translate to 8GB of file storage apiece. Although the drives look cool and offer retractable USB connectors, many will be disappointed to learn that no Hawkeye or Black Widow designs are currently available… C’est la vie.

Alright. They’re made of cardboard and will be absolutely no help when Loki tries to take over the world again. Still, they’ll look darn cool glaring at your family in the living room next Christmas. Get me what I want this year or, Hulk Smash! There are seven different life-sized cutouts available and each stands about 6 feet tall. Not only will they look cool, but they can look down on little Aunt Martha that keeps criticizing your room decor.

Mondo has created a series of seven new posters for the Avengers that will have everyone looking to redecorate their living rooms. They already debuted first two, Black Widow and Hawkeye, and now they’ve revealed the next four. Each poster in the series is designed by a different artist, including the last yet to be unveiled image of the whole Avengers team. Artists behind this most recent batch include Martin Ansin on Thor, Phantom City Creative on Captain America, Ken Taylor on Hulk and Kevin Tong on Iron Man. All the posters were available in very limited quantities and have already sold out, but follow @MondoNews for your chance to grab an upcoming version featuring the whole team.

It is impossible for May 4th to arrive fast enough. Marvel keeps releasing little snippets of Avengers awesome and today we’ve got three, that’s right, three videos to make you drool. First, Iron Man and Thor duke it out and destroy several miles of forest in the process. Next, Robert Downey Jr. picks on Nathan Fillion (who still wins because he has better hair). And lastly, a verbal smackdown between Nick Fury and Loki that makes me wonder what kind of magazines you’d find in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s breakroom.
We’ve assembled all three videos after the jump…
To celebrate the upcoming release of The Avengers, AMC Theaters and Marvel are hosting a superheroic movie marathon on May 3rd. The Ultimate Marvel Marathon will feature six movies from the universe: Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor in 3D, Captain America in 3D, and it will end with The Avengers in 3D. Whew. The event will start at 11:30am and continue on all day—all for a very reasonable $40.
Bruce Lee as Spider-Man; it seems like a natural combination. Designer Alex Tuis has chosen a handful of acting legends to portray Marvel superheroes, and he’s chosen wisely. It’s just a fun side project for an artist who contributes concept art to films, but it’s obvious a lot of time was put into this art.
See Harvey Keitel as Wolverine and more actors as superheroes after the break.
