Artist Mike Mitchell, known for the portrait-like quality he gives to the subjects of his work, has applied this dignified aesthetic to 60 heroes and villains of Marvel Comics. The result is to have transformed the Mondo Gallery in Austin, Texas into something more along the lines of a Marvel Universe Pantheon — representing everyone from icons like the […]

Back in December, the Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer debuted, and we got our first look at Jamie Foxx as longtime Spidey villain Electro. Well it looks like another historical villain, the Rhino, will also be making an appearance in the Amazing Spider-Man sequel, as he gets teased just for a second in this new long form sizzle trailer […]

The first official trailer to the sequel of the Amazing Spider-Man dropped today.

OK, it’s Friday June 15th so you know what that means — we’re getting our tuxes ready for Jim Mahfood’s  L.A. Ink Stains vol. 1 Prom/Book Release Party over at Titmouse Animation Studios.

Chad visits arguably the nerdiest place on Earth and knocks down costume after costume in rapidfire format, 75 in 2 minutes. I’m not sure if […]

We’ve been big fans of Jim Mahfood even before he rocked our launch party last August. Prior to that we’d collaborated on a 16-page comic book for BPM magazine, and ever since he’s been one of our favorite LA artists. Whether it’s working on Kevin Smith’s Clerks or Marvel’s Spider-Man comic books, doing murals for […]
