Scott and Logan in Uncanny X-Men 2019 (For all it’s faults this comic brought my boys back together again and for that I will always hold a special place in my heart for this one.
Kill Bill reimagined as an old school side-scrolling beat ‘em up where you slice your way through the Crazy 88 and face O-Ren Ishii!
Old concept art from Alex Ross back in 2000. Still keen to see him do an X-Men series using similar art.
I never get tired of this photo, and will post it again and again. In the words of Carl Sagan…a pale blue dot.
Take a moment to contemplate our home in the grand scheme of the universe. In the middle of petty squabbles and power grabs, in the end, we are adrift on our cosmic journey. We need to take better care of our “spaceship”.
And for those who do not care or would not hesitate to screw our home over to make some money, I’d love to banish you to Venus.
The Kepler space telescope has shown us our galaxy is teeming with planets — and other surprises
The Kepler space telescope has taught us there are so many planets out there, they outnumber even the stars. Here is a sample of these wondrous, weird and unexpected worlds (and other spectacular objects in space) that Kepler has spotted with its “eye” opened to the heavens.
Kepler has found that double sunsets really do exist.
Yes, Star Wars fans, the double sunset on Tatooine could really exist. Kepler discovered the first known planet around a double-star system, though Kepler-16b is probably a gas giant without a solid surface.
Kepler has gotten us closer to finding planets like Earth.
Nope. Kepler hasn’t found Earth 2.0, and that wasn’t the job it set out to do. But in its survey of hundreds of thousands of stars, Kepler found planets near in size to Earth orbiting at a distance where liquid water could pool on the surface. One of them, Kepler-62f, is about 40 percent bigger than Earth and is likely rocky. Is there life on any of them? We still have a lot more to learn.
This sizzling world is so hot iron would melt!
One of Kepler’s early discoveries was the small, scorched world of Kepler-10b. With a year that lasts less than an Earth day and density high enough to imply it’s probably made of iron and rock, this “lava world” gave us the first solid evidence of a rocky planet outside our solar system.
If it’s not an alien megastructure, what is this oddly fluctuating star?
When Kepler detected the oddly fluctuating light from “Tabby’s Star,” the internet lit up with speculation of an alien megastructure. Astronomers have concluded it’s probably an orbiting dust cloud.
Kepler caught this dead star cannibalizing its planet.
What happens when a solar system dies? Kepler discovered a white dwarf, the compact corpse of a star in the process of vaporizing a planet.
These Kepler planets are more than twice the age of our Sun!
The five small planets in Kepler-444 were born 11 billion years ago when our galaxy was in its youth. Imagine what these ancient planets look like after all that time?
Kepler found a supernova exploding at breakneck speed.
This premier planet hunter has also been watching stars explode. Kepler recorded a sped-up version of a supernova called a “fast-evolving luminescent transit” that reached its peak brightness at breakneck speed. It was caused by a star spewing out a dense shell of gas that lit up when hit with the shockwave from the blast.

Happy comicbooks Wednesday! I share with you a little proyect I have with my pal @danieruhuli, the anthropomorphization of our favorites comics publishing houses (and seals)! Hope you like it, and please make me know if you want us to design another one of your liking!
Time to have some fun reading today!
Dc & Marvel Mashup by Eric Guzman
Inktober day 22: Imagine your favourite Halloween-themed or Scary movie depicted upon a stain glass window, very much like the opening of Beauty and the Beast. What would that stained glass look like?
I chose to do a stained glass Xenomorph from Alien! With a side of gore and facehugger. This is one of my favourite Horror movies. An oldie but a goodie.

Wow!!!!! This is so well done, I love it!!
