Surprise, Mr. Falcon!

In my attempt to keep up with pop culture goings-on this year, there were a lot of developments I never could have predicted. It seems awesome television announcements or crazy character appearances were turning up all over the place. Take my silken hand as I lead you down the path of 14 of my favorite unexpected surprises from 2014!

Community's "G.I. Jeff" lovingly parodied the 1980s G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero cartoon, complete with corresponding action figure commercials.

Weekly Want - Sideshow Deadpool, MP Star Saber, & More!

Hey you crazy kids! It's Weekly Want time once again, so let's take a look at some of the new toy and collectible promos or newly in-stock items that graced the interwebs from the end of September through early October! Where does the time go?

The guys over at Sideshow Collectibles really know how to tease. It's not coming out until a year from now, but the Pre-Orders for their Sixth Scale Deadpool figure are now live. The hefty $230 price tag looks to be worth it given the high quality costume and elaborate variety of accessories and interchangeable parts. There are tons more pictures over on Sideshow's site, so check 'em out!

With the promise of Tusken Raider cosplay fresh in mind, I made the effort to venture to my nearest comic shop today and I had a grand time overall. Here are 15 random pictures that loosely illustrate my adventure:

Cyborg FanArt Frenzy!

Cyborg DC art

With the recent news that Cyborg will be featured in Zack Snyder's upcoming Batman & Superman movie, I felt a Cyborg FanArt Frenzy was in order! My other character-specific showcases have been Marvel focused thus far (with Captain America and Moon Knight) so I'm pleased to finally give DC Comics some love. Enough babble, you came here for fan art! Don't just stand there, let's get to it:

The Dark Knight Rises Full Bane Costume Revealed


Photos taken from the set of The Dark Knight Rises in Pittsburgh have given us a possible look at the Christopher Nolan version of famous Batman baddie Bane in full costume. So, what do you think? Are you full of rage over the mere sight of Bane in a coat, or has your level of excitement raised even higher? If you're not keen on it, keep in mind that there could always be several other variations to Bane's look over the course of film.

The above photo is but one of several recent on-set pics. They were taken at the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute. I can't imagine this is how anyone involved with the film would have wanted the first full look at Bane to be revealed, especially given their ho-hum broad daylight nature, but this sort of thing is par for the course these days.

This news comes to the GeekSkull from IGN. Head on over to their article to check out the other on-set photos from the shooting of The Dark Knight Rises!

DC Universe Classics Wave 19 Sandman

"MTV Geek" gave us an exclusive first look at DC Universe Classics Wave 19 yesterday. I'd like to share Sandman specifically:


Why Sandman? Well, hot damn! Just look at those gorgeous colors! I'm sure they won't be quite as nice on the mass-produced version available in stores, but I'm still more than ready to plop down some cash on this guy. He's just...he's just so god-damned PRETTY.

Check out the rest of the wave here! If Sandman isn't up your street, maybe some of the others will be!
