You may have seen these already, but damn…they’re really cool, so let’s check them out again!

I’m a big fan of Marko Djurdjevic’s art, despite having no idea how to pronounce his name out loud.  He’s done some great work for Marvel Comics.  His art is incredibly stylized and unique, and visually interesting.

Well, turns out, years ago, one of the assignments that got him a huge amount of popularity was to redesign the X-Men for series of tutorial art DVDs. The art was so popular that it caught the attention of Marvel Comics, who offered him an exclusive contract to produce illustrations for some of their title’s covers.

Well, turns out he’s having some fun with character redesigns again, this time with my beloved Masters of the Universe!  I really love the look of almost all of these designs, even the Skeletor one, which is probably the most drastic change.

Check out all the designs at You Bent My Wookie.

I have been giggling about ROLCATS all day long.  It combines my two favorite things: Eastern bloc humor and pretty kitties!

Thanks to Richard for the link!

Wow.

For the last two days, I have been following a disturbing thread at Blog@Newsarama.  Blogger J.

As I write this, there are 15 responses to Mozzoco’s comment and the only ones defending it are Mozzoco himself and another Newsarama blogger.
