A grotesque imitation of Superman fashioned out of lifeless matter. Clad in an invulnerable costume just like Superman's and endowed with all of his mighty super-powers, Bizarro possesses a dim copy of Superman's super-keen mind.
His flesh is white, the color of chalk, and his face appears faceted, as though it had been chiseled out of rock. His black hair is matted and unkempt. He is well-meaning but witless, super-powerful but pathetic. His speech is illiterate and ungrammatical. Because Bizarro's mind is an imperfect imitation of Superman's, however, he is capable of flights of occasional super-genius. Because he possesses dim duplicate memories of all that Superman knows, he is well aware that Clark Kent is secretly Superman.
Unlike Superman, Bizarro is immune to green kryptonite, but like all Bizarro creatures, he is vulnerable to blue kryptonite.
Brought into being by an ingenious duplicator ray built by Lex Luthor, the renegade scientist who is Superman's bitterest enemy, Bizarro is only lifeless matter in human form - a thing composed of unliving matter. "Me not human... me not creature," moans Bizarro pathetically in July 1959, "... me not even animal!"

For the purposes of this comic, the only “canonical” texts are the first Predator film and the first Batman vs. Predator miniseries–all other comics and movies involving the Predator are ignored. As for when it’s supposed to take place in DC continuity–I don’t really care. By including the miniseries as history I’ve already placed it outside the DC canon anyway.
I have once again photographed another family portrait of a bunch of goofy colorful characters! It was another case of “geez I have a lot of these figs lying around on their own, why don’t I put them all together in ONE GIANT PHOTO!”
And I know nobody ever reads these, but if you did, a majority of the custom figs are my own designs using elements and fig parts from Christo7108, Citizen Brick, BigKidBrix, Lab9, KOPF/Knock-Offs, Minifig Madness, Phoenix Customs, EclipseGrafx, Funny Brick, Minifigure Maniacs, Crystal Minifigs… and uh yeah… probably more. Additionally Martian Mahunter’s boots are edited. They do not exist.
If you guys want to see how I edited this shot, check out my Patron to watch it all come together! Or grab yourself a poster on my RedBubble! :)

To quote Charles Shultz: "comics will ruin your life, they will break your heart." I feel you man, I do. Never has so much paper be squandered for self-absorbent reasons.
Couple of Marvel Comics baddies. Nothing you haven't seen before. Sorry bout the shadows in the pic and overall kinda low quality. I'm not a photographer what do you want from me
Kraven the Hunter: Same fig as usual just with Taserface hair.
The Kingpin: Same one TheMooseFigs made. Just added the CMF chef arms to represent his cufflinks and a whisk for when he makes his omelettes. Also, Ddaredevil Season 3 was amazing.
Taskmaster: Same one from the last pic but with a blue hood so he's more comic accurate than USM cartoon accurate.
Let me know what you guys think! :D

Bram Stoker’s Dracula
By R. A. Jones
Like word of the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in 1849 drew thousands of fortune hunters to California, news that a few rare comic books can be worth thousands of dollars prompted many to become comics collectors. Most will be disappointed, and then move on to other ventures.
Ventures such as trading cards. They are the hot ‘collectors’ item now. Capitalizing on the demand, many comic book stores also carry a wide variety of trading cards.
The next step in this melding of collectibles has now been taken. Topps – one of the major producers of trading cards for many years – recently decided to branch out and form its own comic book publishing arm.
The first fruit of their labor is now available. Entitled “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”, it is an adaptation of the motion picture playing in theaters now. Insiders have questioned the wisdom of starting a line off with such a title. Movie adaptations of recent vintage aren’t usually highly valued as collectibles – especially if the movie should flop.
Also, by the time all four issues of this mini-series can see print, the original will be well on its way to video stores. This likewise plays to the theory that people won’t be interested in reading a comic when it’s faster and better to see the actual movie.
Such considerations aside, this is an excellent comic book in terms of scripting, artwork, and overall production values. If nothing else, it proves that Topps can be expected to produce comics with the same high standards of quality that they employ in their trading cards.
It can be enjoyed as a supplement to the movie (and to the original novel), and comes highly recommended as such.
“Bram Stoker’s Dracula” costs $2.95 per issue, and is available in comic book specialty stores.
