I feel like I'm the only person who didn't like Nebula's final design! To me it just looked like patchwork bodypaint with a dodgy latex arm and not the technologically augmented badass she is. These earlier designs look so much better with lots of techy bits showing through.

The City & The City is amazing like that as well! It took me over half the book to understand the conceit of the story, since you're expecting China's usual weirdness. Then you realise he's turned his own style on it's head, and the story is even more sinister because of it.

From what I gather, Stjepan already works on several published titles and does covers too - he seems like the definition of an artist who can churn out the pages, even his scribbles feel photoreal!

That's the reason Mike's been pretty quiet lately - his Cleopatra In Space was picked up by Scholastic and he's making that thar book!

I know right, it's just like back when we all growing up, and you'd read that big book explaining all the backstory and world-building before you would read the actual novel. Back in those days, they knew the audience didn't want to discover anything as the story went along...

While I somewhat agree with you, I also just found this. If this is what we get to see (even in a spin-off/sequel) it might just, just be worth the wait...

There's no reason The Wolverine's story can't still play out, given the way DoFP resets things. Count me in for wanting to see a Logan/Mariko team-up - X-Force perhaps!?

While I'm incredibly glad that scene reset everything... it also struck me that now every new X-film is kind of a prequel to that scene! Know we know the fates of certain characters, and who is expendable....

Maybe not sciencey-fantasaysay enough - but where's my 100 Bullets series dammit! Great idea, great set of characters, plenty of room to expand if you need to ensure 3-4 seasons worth. And one hell of an ending.

Ha, yes I wanted to rant about that scene where the AI (in pretty much is initial task once installed in the quantum computer, no less) pretty much hands them the keys to victory, but thought maybe there was something I had missed. Maybe it was simply just a thought experiment, maybe they already had other AI -…

While I have to admit I actually enjoyed the main characters and the actor's performances - I otherwise totally agree with you. All the really interesting stuff gets glossed over to focus on a pretty predictable story.

Another vote from the "I'd Freakin Love To Read That" party! I've been searching around lately for more Middle Eastern speculative fiction, it's a vein that really hasn't been mined enough.

Strangely enough, this is exactly my method of getting around my city as well! You my drive a little further, but if you think ahead you get there so much faster...

Slowly making progress getting concept art together for my animated web-series. It's something of a steampunky (emphasis on the 'punk') romp. I always think of it as being The Last Airbender, if it was made by HBO. But with mechanical body implants instead of bending.

To be honest, after watching Avengers: Earth's Mightest Heroes, I be totally down with this leading to a Captain Marvel of either flavour. Can't have too much of a good thing.

Hello - Doctor Strangebat, I presume?

As an animator, I whole-heartedly agree with this! I never understood why, from a storytelling point of view, why the X-men films were live-action when the animated cinematics from games did the characters much better justice. But, I guess, the reality is still that general western audiences still see animation as a…

I studied with Aaron at Design School - and even then he was creating the most bad-ass mechs. He even did a few animated shorts, including this:

"We found you can pass hot water cold water over our muscles and generate about seven horsepower of mechanical energy per kilogram of polymer."

In the same vein, DJ Food has produced two astounding DJ mixes that are both musically enjoyable and entertaining - like some kind of club-friendly documentary. Raiding the 20th Century is a full history and dissection of sampling, and Caught In A 3-Way Mix breaks down the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique, showing off…
