Superhero Noir Posters by Marko Manev

If you’ve got a flair for the dark and broody, and dig superhero posters, then I’ve got something you’re going to absolutely love. These superhero noir posters are fantastic. They all capture the heart of the characters they’re showcasing, and give them all a super dark feel that looks absolutely gorgeous.

Marko calls his recent work “Superhero Noir Posters”, with each one featuring a superhero in a scene that many fans would recognize. Anyone can slap a superhero (or two) onto a poster and share it with the whole world, but it does takes a special kind of something to make it dark and utterly beautiful. While I do love my poppy colors, Marko’s superhero noir posters make something stir deep inside me. Take a look for yourself, and you just might see what I mean.

Splatter Paint Superheroes

So the title on this gallery is “Superheroes get the pollock treatment”. But that’s really not a good representation of what the pictures are (as the reddit comments will MORE than tell you). But that doesn’t make these splatter paint superheroes by Melissa Smith any less awesome. If anything, these are better than any pollock “painting” if you ask me. These actually look like something once they’re done, instead of just some random droppings on a canvas. But then, I prefer art that’s of something rather than the abstract stuff. But that’s just me.

Thor Hammer Bookend by Urban Collector

Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of THOR! If you’re like me, you’ve got at least a book or two. What better way to hold them up by putting an immovable object say.. a Thor Hammer Bookend at the end to hold them up?

My only real issue with this bookend is that it’s a book end, not book ends and I’d love to have a matching set, but the $90 price point and with an estimated release day of sometime in Q1 of 2014 it’s a bit too much on the wallet.

This is still a must have for any Marvel reader.

One of the most iconic magical artifacts in the entire Marvel Universe, with an origin steeped in Norse legend, Thor’s Hammer is both a symbol of heroism and a weapon of unimaginable power. Cast in high quality polystone, the Thor’s Hammer Bookend from Gentle Giant Ltd. is a stunning scale replica that is worthy of display on your shelf by itself, or effortlessly holding up your media of choice. Digitally sculpted by the master artisans at Gentle Giant, each hand-painted bookend comes individually numbered and includes a matching certificate of authenticity.
