Dresden Codak’s X-MEN REBOOT
Reblogged from dresdencodak
The Premise - I wanted to make an X-Men reboot that plays to the strength of the concepts, namely growing up as a teenager, dealing with those who are different and how to deal with those who hate you. The primary change in my setting is that the mutations have a clear sci-fi foundation rather than just being random superpowers. Mutants being “the next stage in human evolution” was biologically dubious in the 60s, and now it’s just corny. Additionally, I think the X-Men premise only really makes sense in a setting without other superheroes. With that in mind, here’s my pitch…
The story idea that goes with this redesign sounds really interesting. Sadly I don’t think Marvel would let it happen.

Tumblr artist Dean Walton created an excellent set of limited edition retro prints inspired by his all-time favorite places in Hyrule. These Legend of Zelda travel posters are now available in various sizes at GamerPrint!

Daniel Govar’s New Mutants redesign - Cannonball, Mirage, Magik, Magma, Sunspot, Warlock and Wolfsbane but sadly no Karma or Cypher.

Artist John Staub took three of DC Comics’ iconic characters and put each of them into a more medieval era. Read more about his process here.
They are all excellent, but I really like the assassin Batman concept.

I love the whole idea of this, wish he’d do some other characters too.

‘Have you ever started putting together your character for a game, flipped through the possible choices, landed on the (most likely lone) female and gone, “WHY ISN’T SHE WEARING ANY CLOTHES?!?” If so, the following illustration, by Redditor stareattheart is for you.’
Sadly true of most videogames.
Aaron Diaz’s redesigned Justice League.
I particularly like the look of the statuesque Wonder Woman.
