Earlier this week the first images of Peter Dinklage as Bolivar Trask surfaced for Bryan Singer’s upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. In addition to that tidbit of news, Singer tweeted out the following pic of a Trask-built Sentinel.

Trask Industries didn’t have a booth inside San Diego Comic-Con, but that didn’t stop the company from unveiling the head of its new Sentinel prototype outside the convention center! The feared mutant-hunting robots look different from the comic incarnations, but they still look pretty damn intimidating.

Relax mutants. That is not a real sentinel. You can go back to your schoolwork which Professor X is expecting in the morning. This awesome stained glass creation was made by Zero Wing Labs and it looks amazing.
You have to love those comic book colors as the Sun shines through and the details throughout. It belongs in a bad guy mutant place of worship alongside Juggernaut and Toad and other villains. Forgive me father, it has been 10 years since my last mutant capture… Dear God, the pain! I’ll do better, I swear.
This thing looks like it came straight from the pages X-Men. Awesome glass pages.

Detroit is working on a Robocop statue, so of course Edmonton, Canada wants their own statue now. Not just any statue, mind you. They want a 1,000 foot tall statue of Wolverine. If this keeps up we are going to have superhero statues everywhere. I’m ok with that.
It all started as a joke by Brian LaBelle who wanted to mock the city’s plan to build a pricey new arena, but the idea began to gain traction. Of course. Who wouldn’t want a giant Wolverine statue. LaBelle started a petition for the project. Here is his argument for why the statue would be important:
It is important to build this statue because in order for Edmonton to be considered a “world class” city, we NEED a statue similar to the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Statue of Liberty in New York City. Wolverine is arguably the most famous Albertan around the world and this statue would be a major boon for tourism in the city. It is also important because it is what is commonly referred to as a “catalyst project”, meaning it will spur greater growth on the downtown of Alberta’s capital city and create numerous spin-off projects in much the same way that the X-Men comic book spun off dozens of other successful books. In order for Edmonton to join the ranks of other world-class cities we need a hero to champion Edmonton across the globe, because Wolverine already does that as a former student at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning and as the current Headmaster of the Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters, he is the natural choice. Please don’t miss this opportunity to revitalize our downtown core Edmonton City Council, I fear the downtown arena and other developments will be in jeopardy if we don’t.
I doubt they will ever build the 1,000 foot version, but I’m sure we’ll eventually see a smaller one in Edmonton. Seems like another good use for Kickstarter.

The love team of Rémy LeBeau and Anna Marie…Something was one of the most popular couples in mainstream comics, partly because for a long time, Rogue’s power meant they couldn’t make physical contact without Gambit turning into the world’s most charming vegetable. How romantic. How frustrating. How weird. If you’re in a similarly intense relationship, then these tees are for you, mon ami.
I have to admit, Gambit’s shiny and muscular armor looks really silly without his trademark trench coat. But I’d take this T-shirt over a Cyclops one any day, because Cyke is a jerk in the current Marvel world. You can order the Gambit and Rogue T-shirts at ThinkGeek for $20-$22 (USD) each.

While many of us are used to Hugh Jackman’s big-screen version of Wolverine, comic book purists prefer the original version, complete with yellow body and pointy black ears. So here you go…
The Logan in this Wolverine Hoodie won’t be turning up in any Broadway (or network television) musicals, as it’s based on Len Wein and John Romita, Sr.’s classic yellow and blue Wolverine from the pages of the X-Men comics. The hood itself zips up to reveal only your beady little eyes and the most menacing grimace you can muster.
It sells for $57.99(USD) over at SuperHeroStuff and is available in Men’s sizes S-XXL. You might be down to the wire for a Halloween costume order, but SuperHeroStuff does ship within 1 business day, and offers express shipping for an added fee.
Oh, and if you do need those claws to go with, you can find plenty over on Amazon.
