This is amazing, especially if you're a fan of the sixties Adam West version of Batman.
It's the complete intro from the 1966 Batman TV show, including the great Bat theme, and it's all in Lego.

Some more cosplay from day 3 of Heroes Con.
Suzann Knudsen does an amazing job of creating cosplay costumes that no one else seems to do. Last year she had my favorite costume of the weekend with an awesome Dazzler. This year in addition to this Black Canary she also appeared as Amethyst Princess of Gemworld. I didn't get any good pictures of Amethyst, but check around, others took some great photos of her. I think she also appeared as Wonder Woman, but sadly I missed that also.

Phil Noto is another artist I discovered by watching him paint at Heroes Con. He painted a beautiful Marvel Girl last year and this year he took on one of my all time favorite characters, Supergirl.
He did an amazing job and it was tough watching the auction later that evening knowing I had no chance to own this painting, but at least I was able to observe the creative process.
Here is a progressive look at Phil painting his contribution for the auction.

As much time as I've spent watching Brian Stelfreeze paint and sketch at Free Comic Book Day and Heroes Con, I've come to the realization that I'm a huge fan of his work.
I really wanted this Scooby Doo and Daphne painting Brian did for the auction, but alas it was not to be. I think Cat Staggs might have won it. Whoever has it, I hope you gave it a great place on the wall.
Here's a progression of Brian painting Daphne and Scooby Doo for the auction.

Those of you familiar with the web series Avengers Assemble already know the work of Miracole and Chris Burns. If you aren't familiar with the series, click the link and take a few minutes to introduce yourself to the show.
It was great seeing Miracole and Chris at Heroes Con and picking up the Gambit and Rogue print that they posed for.
They will be debuting the new season of Avengers Assemble at DragonCon in July. We can't wait for season 2.

I ran into Miracole at the Studio Revolver booth and asked for a picture. Here's the amazing Miracole when she's not in costume.

My youngest son was the first of us to discover Mike Maihack, and I'm glad he did. Mike does amazing work. Check out Cleopatra in Space.

Stephanie Gladden was a pleasant discovery for me last year. I picked up her sketchbook, Girls of Monster Paradise, and fell in love with her style. Check out her new comic - Cricket and Plato.

As a follow up to the cosplay post, I thought I'd show you a few of the amazing artists at this year's Heroes Con.
I missed watching Mark paint this year, last year he did an amazing Black Cat, but I hope he paints something next year.

Sara Richard remains one of my favorite artists, she has such a beautiful and unique style.

I can't just ignore it, so I'll dig up an oldie. The video below is Brian Stelfreeze from Heroes Aren't Hard to Find in 2010.
Brian is drawing Pinky and the Brain and the soundtrack is "Feed Me Pet Me" by The Dollyrots.
I hope you go and have fun!

There have been lots of comments regarding the new Wonder Woman costume slated to be worn byAdrianne Palicki, but most of them haven't been good. A lot of comments compare the new Wonder Woman to a Halloween costume by Leg Avenue.
Suzann Knudsen, AKA @ThatDJSpider, has taken the criticism one step further.
Suzann shows how you can create the new Wonder Woman costume using common items from Ebay in less than two hours.

I loved the Green Hornet as a kid, mainly because I loved the car. Lots of people will tell you that the best thing about the short lived TV series was Bruce Lee, but any 60's kid will tell you it was the Black Beauty.
In addition to all the cool gadgets, such as machine guns, the most memorable thing about the car was how it was stored. It was hidden underneath the garage floor and was exposed by flipping a switch; then a convertible would rotate underneath the concrete slab and the Black Beauty would appear. Of course this is completely impractical, but it sure looks cool.
I was thrilled to not only see this method return in the new movie, but also in the Green Hornet comic. Yep, in Green Hornet issue number 1, available at iTunes, you can see a perfect rendition of the famous Black Beauty switch.
The six year old kid in me is thrilled.
