Pokemon Fusions Are a Thing, and They Are Amazing

I don’t know if you’ve noticed yet or not, but there’s a meme that’s been going around for awhile now called Pokemon Fusions. It’s this blog – Click Here – that randomly fuses two pokemon together to create a nifty, silly new gene-spliced pokemon. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Here, I made an example:

I know you’re reading his name in Pikachu’s voice

Neat, right? Go ahead and try it out. It’s a ton of fun.

But I’m actually here to tell you that the Internet has taken Pokemon Fusions and done them one better. A bunch of professional artists, or at least people who can really draw well, have taken these Pokemon Fusions drawn them to look real, instead of looking like awkward cut and pastes. The results are both beautiful and horrifying, but all together brilliant. If you want to see an example of the Internet at its geeky finest and most creative, click the jump to see all the freaky and awesome Fusions!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/22/13

Age of Ultron is the worst Big Event Comic that Brian Michael Bendis has ever written. The man is a writing god when it comes to small comics – like Ultimate Spider-Man or his current X-Men series – but he just can’t handle Big Events. He can come up with some really neat ideas, but for some reason he just can’t execute them. I don’t know what it is. How did the man who created Miles Morales write Age of Ultron? Whatever. It’s over. Age of Ultron is done and it’s just as bad as the rest of the series. But now we all have Angela to look forward to…so…yay? I guess. Ugh.

Thankfully, the rest of the comics this week are all winners. From Avengers and New Avengers carrying through with some grand ideas to comics like Batwoman and Superior Spider-Man continuing their general greatness. Quality reads through and through. As for Comic Book of the Week, that distinction has to go to Wonder Woman #21, for Brian Azzarello for really amping up the action and excitement, and actually getting me to like a New God.

I never thought I’d live to see the day.

Comic Reviews: Age of Ultron #10, Avengers #14, Batman and Batgirl #21, Batwoman #21, Green Lantern: New Guardians #21, New Avengers #7, Superior Spider-Man #12, and Wonder Woman #21.

Wonder Twins to Appear on Teen Titans Go! Because Somebody Up There Likes Me

I haven’t been watching the new Teen Titans Go! cartoon, but clearly I should, because two of my all-time favorite characters are going to make a guest appearance!

Squee!

The freakin’ Wonder Twins, baby! How cool is that? Somebody out there in TV Land understands the nostalgic fun of the Wonder Twins. If only they’d been allowed to show up on Young Justice while that show was still on the air. No doubt they were saving the Wonder Twins for Season 3.

At any rate, I’m definitely going to have to give this episode a try. It’s called “You’re Fired”, and it’s about the Titans firing Beast Boy and picking up the Wonder Twins to replace him. Sounds like fun to me. There’s also a funny audition sequence, of course.

The episode debuts at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday on Cartoon Network. Be there!

I can only assume some hilarious hijinx have occurred

Hulk: Agents of S.M.A.S.H. Is What It Is

I dunno. This cartoon is not for me. Maybe it’s for you, and maybe people will enjoy it. But for whatever reason, I find myself mostly skipping all these Disney-funded Marvel superhero cartoons.

Is it possible that I’ve finally outgrown childish cartoons? I didn’t respond all that strongly Beware the Batman. And I haven’t seen a single episode of Ultimate Spider-Man. Have I really reached the point in my life where I don’t care about superhero cartoons?

Heavy.
