We've seen kaiju inserted into yard sale paintings and vampiric 1800s facsimiles of Nicolas Cage. In the spirit of such portraiture comes Alex Gross' series of science fiction cabinet cards, in which he takes poor dead bastards who kicked it 100+ years ago and repaints them as pop icons. Gross will be presenting a new batch of cards in Los Angeles next month. Here are some of our favorites.

Before Scarlett Johansson donned Natasha Romanov's red tresses and Lynda Carter wore ancient Grecian skateboarding gear, Angie Bowie — a.k.a. the model "Jipp Jones," the then-wife of David Bowie, and mother of Source Code director Duncan Jones — gave both Marvel's superspy and DC Comics' Amazonian princess a shot. Neither of her forays into superheroics were picked up, but the photographic evidence does have a magnificently deranged 1970s vibe. More »

In this week's comics, Grant Morrison puts him imprimatur on The Avengers, but not the ones you expect. On a similar albeit unrelated note, Brian Michael Bendis is also writing Marvel's Avengers (above), wherein Storm joins the team. Let's see what else is on the shelves Wednesday. More »

If you love reheated and recycled entertainment, then your heart will thrill to a recent interview with Fox co-chairman Tom Rothman. Coming off an apocalyptically bad summer (including Space Chimps, X-Files 2, The Happening, Meet Dave and Babylon A.D.) Fox seems to be looking backwards. Rothman told IESB he's optimistic about upcoming films like The Day The Earth Stood Still and James Cameron's Avatar. But when the conversation turned to remakes and sequels, Rothman trotted out not just a laundry list, but a dry-cleaning list and a darning list as well. More »

In a couple of years, it's going to feel like you're swimming in superhero films, many of them remakes of remakes, or retellings of classics. Fox Movies has announced a handful of Marvel Comics properties it would like to develop — including a couple of X-Men films and another Daredevil film that pretends Ben Affleck never existed. Meanwhile, producers are still working hard on a movie about one of the Justice League's most important members... but at least they're thinking about how to avoid retelling the same old story.

If you've been spending the last few weeks hoping to give all of your money to DC Comics, then this is definitely the week to hit your local comic store.

From Roger Ramjet to Super Friends, it seems that as long as there have been superheroes, there have been bad superhero cartoons. But little do you know just how bad some of the cartoons could have been... until now. Marvel editor Tom Brevoort pulled back the curtain to reveal the plans for a luckily-abandoned Marvel cartoon from the '80s that may have offended the blind and the circus cannonballmen alike. More »

An off-handed comment from Jason Statham to the L.A. Times has sparked speculation that Statham could play blind lawyer/superhero Daredevil. Famed Daredevil artist Frank Miller, who was sitting there when Statham made the comments, said he approved of the casting, further fueling the speculation that the duo could collaborate at some point. In other terrible superhero casting news, blond American Gladiators star Titan (aka Mike O'Hearn) says he's auditioning to play World War II super-soldier Captain America. After Ed Norton and Robert Downey Jr., it's hard to believe Marvel will stoop to casting a reality TV show star as the Sentinel of Liberty. And as for Statham, I'm as eager as anyone to see Ben Affleck's terrible Matt Murdock buried forever, I'm not quite desperate enough to reach for Statham's trademark growl/smirk.

The holiday season is the perfect time to celebrate families torn asunder due to demonic intervention. This week sees the release of the long-dreaded Amazing Spider-Man #545, the comic which writer J.M. Straczynski almost took his name off. The demon Mephisto has offered to save the life of Peter Parker's Aunt May — but at the cost of undoing Parker's marriage to Mary Jane. We already know what choice Spidey will make, but the fun is in watching his marriage splinter, and bitching about it online afterwards. More new comics coming Friday (thanks to holiday delays) after the jump. More »
