Iros Yan has been doodling the Avengers in the style of the Powerpuff Girls for quite some time now in comics, illustrations, and animated gifs.

These creative USB sticks will make your file transfers way more interesting

With the death of floppy drives (you remember those, don’t you?), USB memory sticks have become as commonplace and indispensable as mobile phones. But for the most part, they’re achingly boring and over-the-top utilitarian. Thankfully, there are still some manufacturers out there willing to put out products that defy the norm. Here are some highly…

Myths About Joss Whedon (That Keep Non-Whedonistas Away)

Absolutely everybody on the planet saw Joss Whedon’s The Avengers a few times — but still, many of our fellow humans have yet to delve into the Whedon back catalog. Possibly even including you.

The Hulk is Ally Sheedy in this Avengers/Breakfast Club mash-up video

The Breakfast Club was a movie about a group of kids with very different outlooks on life and different reasons for getting tossed into detention — who came together to stop an invasion of alien warriors and their huge ugly serpent ships. At least, that’s what I’m getting from this pretty hilarious Avengers/Breakfast Club trailer…

The Avengers‘ Leviathan warships could have been more H.R. Giger-esque

The Leviathans, the Chitauri’s living warships, were invented for the Avengers movie and had to be designed from scratch. Avengers concept artist Phil Saunders has shared some of the early sketches for the Leviathans, including ones in which the ships had massive horns and this top one, which appears inspired by H.R. Giger’s Alien xenomorph.…

Loki’s alien army could have been a hell of a lot more metal in Avengers

A new batch of Avengers concept art reveals a way different version of the alien Chitauri. In the movie, Loki’s minions are merely a group of grey beings, perfect for taking punches from our dashing heroes. And they were… perfectly fine. But in this new concept art, these bad boys look like something dreamed out…

So can we get a line of Avengers-inspired dresses already?

Artist Robinade’s Avengers dress designs looked cute—and, for the most part, quite wearable—when we first saw them on paper. This trio of cosplayers brought three of those dresses to life and make us wonder: Why can’t we buy a Loki-inspired frock off the rack? https://gizmodo.com/seriously-cute-dresses-inspired-by-costumes-from-the-av-5912711 Photo by Vincent Tam.

S.H.I.E.L.D. will be a sequel—not a prequel—to The Avengers

Ever since we found out that Clark Gregg would be reprising his role as Agent Phil Coulson in the S.H.I.E.L.D. television series, we’ve been wondering if Coulson did indeed survive the events of The Avengers or if the television series would function as a prequel to the films. But ABC president Paul Lee has revealed…

How does Captain America cope with modern life? By keeping a diary comic

Steve Rogers studied fine arts before becoming Captain America, so why not give him an artist outlet?

Joss Whedon wanted the Wasp and an extra villain in The Avengers

The Avengers was one of our favorite movies of the year, in large part because it avoided excessive clutter, with just one villain and mostly characters we’d met in previous Marvel Studios movies.
