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.
drawn maybe three months ago when i was on tour and feeling hateful, also submitted for m. p. fikaris' latest comic exhibtion.

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! :)
All the links are in the bio! ;)

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.

Adult comics @ Bookoff (used bookstore). I have gone to Thomas Ruff's Exhibition@ MOMAT. I have to think about photograph.
トーマスルフさんの写真展に行ってきました。今年注目の写真展のうちのひとつ。ライアンマッギンレーはなんとなく行く気がしなかったけど現代アート好きとしては行っておくべき写真展だと思い。コンセプトとか写真というメディアに対しての捉え方を考えさせられるものになっていたしクオリティは高かったけど感動や感激はなかったな。デュシャン以降の現代アートってアートの文脈からの理解度がないと解釈が難しい。それに比べ併設されているMOMATの展示の近代美術は素晴らしかった。毎回ここの所蔵品には感動させられる。写真よりも絵画の方が好きなんだな。きっと。という一日でした。そんでこの被写体かい！ってね。個人的に本棚って大好き。作家や漫画家の本棚とか。立花隆さんの本棚はすごかったなぁ。本棚って装飾が綺麗なもの以外は真正面から撮る以外ない気がする。エロ漫画って矩形が同じだということに今気がついた。だから綺麗なんだな。あとピンクと肌色が圧倒的に多い。なのでこのコーナーって遠くからでもすぐわかる。女性よりも男性の方が本能的にはピンクなんだそうです。男性がピンクが好きだから女性は本能で男性の好きなピンクの服を着る。少女漫画の棚もピンクが多いですね。たまには長文。

Comics - there's nothing else in the modern age like it, the Superheroes have been with us on paper, radio, TV, Toys, Movies, Video games, LEGO.. it's a way of life.
Batman will always have a special place in my heart, even if his heart is broken...
This was another one of my @rebellug Vignweek 24 hr build. I've always wanted to do a Crime Alley build to evoke that emotion in a single scene... perfect for a vignette, or a comic book cover!
Another in my Amazing Builder Series (ABS) homage builds - Many years ago I saw Dave Kaleta's amazing Crime Alley build at Brickworld Chicago and always wanted to tackle something similiar.
