The Comic Book Characters I Really Want To See On Arrow

Derek

As a diehard comic book fan I am completely hooked on The CW’s ARROW Tv show that follows the adventures of DC Comic’s Green Arrow in live-action form. The show could have very easily devolved into a soapy SMALLVILLE style mess but somehow the folks behind ARROW managed to walk the perfect tightrope of super-hero action goodness with CW style melodrama to create the best comic book based series on TV (take that AGENTS OF SHIELD!). Don’t believe me? Check out the trailer for the remainder of Season 2 after the cut and prepare to get hooked on this show.

Warner Brothers Animation teamed up Zack Snyder and Bruce Timm to create a snazzy 2 minute video of Superman throughout his 75 years of existence from the first issue of Action Comics through this past summer’s MAN OF STEEL. It’s a really cool tribute to the character.

The Daily Nerdgasm: Remember Amalgam Comics?

Derek

amalgamcomics
Remember when Marvel Comics and DC Comics had their big MARVEL VS DC crossover event that led into the combined universe of AMALGAM COMICS? I enjoyed those books and it seems like a million years ago that the two comic companies had a good enough relationship that they would actually work together to put out such a massive joint effort.
Well, artist Eric Guzman remembers and at his DeviantArt page he has done some really cool amalgamations of DC/Marvel characters. Click onward to see some of the ones I liked best.
