Hilarious! I always find it hilarious when no one questions Emma Frost’s choice of costume. She’s pretty much in lingerie and it serves no purpose other than seduction. Well, I guess Sebastian Shaw has had enough with Ms. Frost as show in this short by “Monkey and Apple” (@monkeyandapple). While trying to interrogate Wolverine, Shaw doesn’t get the results he was hoping from Emma’s powers. I guess it was the last straw and Shaw pretty much goes ape-shit about Emma Frost’s “assets” which results in my headphone speakers blowing out and loss of hearing. Now, lower the volume and enjoy!

A bit of ingenuity, a little of elbow grease, and a lot of know-how can fuel a lot of anger. This is the case with this guy who decided to create some “Wolverine Claws”. Three sharp blades are loaded on springs and a track to slide out just like the furball’s. I found it pretty awesome until… I saw the video of the creator sporting the claws jumping around the house beating on a cardboard box. I can see where you’re are getting at, but I pretty sure there are more impressive ways to demonstrate the claws without jumping two feet off a bar stool onto a cardboard box. I wouldn’t even need the claws to do that. All I need are my bare fists and my manly powers to punch a hole in a box. Great idea, great execution, crappy video.

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.

Hummm… Very interesting indeed… I am faced with the tough decision of deciding what exactly it could be. Found on @kimmi_page’s tumblr page “The Kessel Run (in 11 parsecs)“. Before I read the text, I saw a pretty cool looking illustration of Wolvie. It wasn’t until after reading, I noticed the two Bat men doing eskimo kisses. Which is it? Wolverine or two Bat men? I’m going with two Bat men sharing a kiss at sunset. I wish it would be Wolvie as well, but I don’t remember the fur ball having a nose like Gonzo from the Muppets in the shape of a harpoon.

Back in July, the crew at Universal Design Replicas created a pretty cool leather motorcycle suit crafted to look like Batman’s suit in The Dark Knight. For 2010, Universal Design has created a leather motorcycle suit in the design of Wolverine’s outfit from X-Men 2. Considering the epic nature of Bryan Singer’s last X-Men movie, I can’t help but be a bit unimpressed by Universal Design’s newest creation. Don’t get me the wrong. I have complete faith that UDR’s motorcycle suit is both brilliant in function and craftsmanship, but the the less than spectacular faded orange on black didn’t look that great in the movie and in return, not as great as a motorcycle suit. If I saw someone zoom by in the Dark Knight suit, I would definitely be in awe of the epic-ness of that rider, but if I saw the Wolverine suit, I might think… “whadda douche…”
On that note, great things are on the horizons for UDR as they are feverishly designing and fabricating a leather replica of Tony Stark’s Mark V Iron Man suit (yes… the bitchin’ suit case suit from the Monaco scene from Iron Man 2) in time to release with the premiere of Iron Man 2 in May. I’m hopin’ for the best.
BTW, that Wolvie suit is making the guy’s head look really really small… unless he does have a small dome. Than I’m sorry…

“Snickety-snickety-SNICKT!”
Last week, we posted an article about a lizard that has the similar color scheme as Spider-man. This week, the creepy and crawly post is about a newt that has a natural defense mechanism as our favorite mutant furball, Wolverine! The Spanish Ribbed Newt apparently has the ability to thrust out it’s rib bones out of its skin when it feels that it is in danger. Egon Heiss, (holy shit, his name is Egon) of the University of Vienna, and a team of Austrian scientists have shown that the Spanish ribbed newt is able to rotate its ribs until the sharp points of its ribs pierce through its skin. On top of that nasty little feature, the spikes are coated with a toxic secretion as it exits the body (don’t lick the bastard). When the newt feels it is out of danger, it retracts its spikes back into its body. Then, the newt’s insane healing ability kicks in curing all the tears on it’s back from where the spikes came out. Unlike the porcupine and blowfish (I know you were going to ask about those two), the Spanish Ribbed Newt is the only animal that can brandish its spikes like a weapon. Only if the newt had some crazy facial hair.
