Guardians Of The Gallery: Dragonball Superheroes, Bond, Lego Hobbit & More
Some of the best, funniest and weirdest pics & vids that’ve been doing the rounds on the ’net this week
••• French artist Pierre-Marie Lenoir has taken Dragon Ball Z characters and fused them with superheroes like Batman, Spider-Man, and Wolverine. See more of his work here.

••• No doubt inspired by transatlantic success of Straight Outta Compton, Marvel’s latest variant covers gimmick is classic hip hop album cover homages. Apparently comic shops in the US are going gaga over them with huge pre-orders forcing Marvel to reprints.
••• Minions prepare for a (PR) invasion of China.
••• Just added to the Dr Marten’s Adventure Time range are these Marceline the Vampire Queen boots, which as well as the toe cap detailing have fluffy tongues too! Available here.
••• This week’s amazing Lego construction (because there has to be one) is a mammoth 120,000-brick reconstruction of Erebor from The Hobbit by Michal Kazmierczak. [via Gizmodo]
••• Sesame Street does a spoof of the most famous scene from When Harry Met Sally. We have no idea why.
••• Have you ever heard that theory about Star Wars – the one that suggest with a different emphasis the Empire could be portrayed as the good guys fighting against evil terrorists?Seems that you can do a similar “sexing up” with Joffrey in Game Of Thrones.
••• Spider-Man elect used Instagram to show off his first ever Spider-Man costume.
••• Aston Martin has unveiled a special Bond edition DB9 sports car to coincide with the release of SPECTRE. Only 150 examples of the car, based on the DB9 GT, will be offered for sale, at $250,000. Thank God Top Gear is off the air at the moment and Clarkson’s new show is months off. 
••• A deleted scene from last year’s Doctor Who… well, sort of.
Just found this. The first scrap of Kill The Moon I scribbled. Didn’t make it into the ep, of course. But it’s nice. pic.twitter.com/1Ry0v1W6NZ — Peter Harness (@mrpeterharness) September 4, 2015
Guardians Of The Gallery: Orphan Black, Naruto, Star Wars & More
Our weekly look at some of the best, oddest and most amusing images and vids that have been doing the rounds this week
•••A superb size comparison image of a Star Wars Executor-class Super Star Destroyer hovering over Manhattan created by Redditor movielover278.
••• Vietnamese artist Nguyen Quang Huy’s “I Am Naruto” series “enhances” the characters with the use of everyday objects from peach pits to conches. Click on the images to see larger versions.
••• We include this awards nomination list not because it’s a great image but because it’s amusing to see them trying to fit in all the characters that Tatiana Maslany plays on Orphan Black
.@TatianaMaslany is Emmy-nominated for 6 of her characters! https://t.co/OsJIyzvteB pic.twitter.com/ghDCqRrZQe

••• James Gunn is serious about what he does but not always serious in the way that he does it. That’s why we love him…
A first look at Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. 😞 PS Douchebag is back on SnapChat at MrJamesGunn. A photo posted by James Gunn (@jamesgunn) on
••• A Star Wars/Daft Punk mash-up. Of course. What else is the internet for?
The prequel’s quite fun, too…
••• How the trailer for The Empire Strikes Back would look done in the style of The Force Awakens. Pretty bloody good, actually. We especially like this because while the editing is current, the fonts are still very ’80s.
••• A truly transforming birthday cake…
••• Comics guru Mark Millar Tweeted this with the message: “Terrifying design flaw in Minions bubble bath”.
••• And finally… not something cute and cuddly. This is NOT a painting. This is a real person painted! [via ComicBookResources]
