CUSS! I told myself that I was done with posts for the week, but I couldn’t resist when I laid my eyes on this trailer on ComicAlliance. For some time now, we already knew that Marvel has partnered with various animation studios in Japan to produce an anime-style series for ‘Wolverine’ and ‘Iron Man’. Well, from animation giant, MADHOUSE Inc. (the group behind ‘Trigun’ and ‘Vampire Hunter D’), comes a teaser trailer for the ‘X-Men’ anime. From the looks of the teaser, it is pretty spectacular. As usual with most action-heavy anime series, the animation of the action scenes are near perfect and nothing like you have ever seen before. It is pretty common that anime is looked down upon within the comic community, but no matter how much you do not like anime, you have to admit that the animation in this trailer is pretty fucking awesome. Cyclops and Beast looks amazing and Wolvie is one bad ass son of a bitch. Even characters like Storm who usually never gets any love looks pretty hot in this trailer. We already know that the animation is going to be top-notch, and with Warren Ellis’ involvement in the projects, I’m pretty sure the story will be pretty strong as well. The X-Men animated series from the 90’s will always have a place in my heart, but this X-Men anime from MADHOUSE is getting me all excited.

there actually have been situations where Rouge’s cleavage has been exposed, but eventually censored. WHAT a price to pay! I think the best part of this beauty is that she wears three different outfits unlike the other female characters, and who wouldn’t want to fly across the landscape, be as strong as Shawn Johnson, and flirt with any male, anytime, anyway… – Dylan Guptill on “Rouge the Bat”
Well, thanks to Rob at ToplessRobot.com my brain was assaulted by Dylan Guptill and his video “Top Ten Hottest Female Sonic Characters” of all time. A video that seems harmless, but will most likely fuck your life up. I would go into all the details and break this video down, but I don’t think I can do any better than ToplessRobot. Hit the jump, watch the video, cry, yell at the world, take down a glass of scotch, and go to ToplessRobot and read Rob’s review. It’s a gem. Fucking internet.

This is such a simple idea yet I’m freaking out about it. Japanese figure designer/manufactuer, Kotobukiya is pretty well known around the world for their pretty awesome ‘Star Wars’ toys. Well, since last year, they have been getting into making stuff that isn’t statues or model kits such as the Star Wars lightsaber chopsticks from early last year. Well, I guess it was a huge hit because Kotobukiya will now make Star Wars silicon ice trays that will produce perfect mini ice sculptures of Han Solo in Carbonite and our favorite astrometric droid, R2-D2. Simple idea right? Well, than why hasn’t anyone made it before?! These ice trays are heat and cold resistant so you can be either on Mustafar or Hoth and you won’t need to worry about these getting damaged. It’s pretty cool considering you can fill and freeze almost anything you want. You can fill them with water to make ice for your glass of scotch or fill them with fruit punch to make mini popsicles for the little ones. You can put some melted chocolate into them and make a little Artoo chocolate that you can bite into. The possibilities are endless! Koto’s Star Wars ice trays will hit the streets in July (just in time for Summer) and will cost you less than 10 credits (when I say credits, I mean dollars) each!
I hope these are out by San Diego Comic Con. It would be pretty awesome to have for a party.

“Treat of the Week” will be my gift to you before the weekend. This week, we got ourselves a video of Justin Bieber getting put down in a hail of gunfire on this second guest appearance on the crime-procedural drama, ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigations’. Enjoy it friends. Enjoy it over and over again.

Okay now. It seems like everything this week has something to do with videos. Break is well known for their hilarious parodies and their newest gift to the world is a parody of Enrique Iglesias’ song, “Tonight (I’m Fuckin’ You)”. Don’t look at me. Blame Enrique for that crude song title. Anyways, titled “Tonight, I’m Frakking You”, the music video is about a Star Wars Trekkie geek that find himself in a nightclub where he is pretty much trying to hump anything that moves and doesn’t have a wang. It’s pretty funny even though he’s wearing a mash-up cosplay of a Jedi Knight and a Vulcan (blasphemy…). Like a lot of hip-hop/R&B videos, Frakking You doesn’t disappoint. It has it’s fair share of cameos such as Alessandra Torressani, who played Zoe Graystone on ‘Caprica’, Richard Hatch from the original ‘Battlestar Galactica’, and Amy Okuda from ‘The Guild’ who ends up getting blasted in the mouth by the guy’s “web”. Yeah, its pretty crude. I’m sorry. The best part has to be Kunal Nayyar rapping in the video. Kunal, as you may know plays Raj Koothrappali on ‘The Big Bang Theory’. Even with the powers of the Jedi and Vulcan, the guy still fucks up at the end of the night and get no booty. Well, not the kind he was looking for anyway.

mmmmm.. I love me some ‘Star Wars’ fan art. Its even better than Star Wars is mashed up with something as beautiful and elegant as “steampunk”. This amazing collection of steampunk Star Wars character illustration was created by UK based conceptual artist/illustrator, Bjorn Hurri. Unlike many artists who just adds some bells and whistles to an existing design, Bjorn really took it to another level by designing the character from scratch. The ability to reimagine these iconic characters and turn them on their heads yet have them still recognizable to the viewer is quite remarkable. Considering almost nothing about Bjorn’s steampunk Boba Fett is similar to that of Boba Fett from the movies, I still would be able recognize the infamous bounty hunter. My favorite of the collection has to be steampunk Princess Leia and Chewbacca. The only one that seems to look similar to the movie version is the Jawa Scavenger. On the other hand, Jawas are pretty steampunk’ed themselves.
Hit the jump and enjoy Bjorn’s Steampunk Star Wars collection.

Yes… I would like to know. Why so curious? Designer and illustrator, Andy Hunt (@andyhunt) is up for vote at Threadless to have his newest design made into a shirt. His submission titled “Why So Curious?” is a pretty fucking funny mash-up of The Joker from ‘The Dark Knight’ and George the monkey from ‘Curious George’. The design is pretty adorable considering it is Curious George, but just looking into the bastard’s eyes, you can see that there some madness in that little monkey brain of his. You can vote for Andy’s design at the link below.
