Young Justice: Five Years Later

2012-05-04T02:00:00.000-05:00

The second season of Young Justice premiered last Saturday. The new season takes place five years after the end of the first season. Dick Grayson (who was Robin last season) is now Nightwing and, as you can see above, time has been very good to him. There's no sign of Wally, Red Arrow/Speedy, or current banner guy Kaldur yet. However, we do get to see Tim Drake as Robin.

More screencaps from "Happy New Year" are below.

Artist Spotlight: Joe Jusko 90's Flashback

2012-05-01T02:00:00.000-05:00

Today's post is a trip back to the early 1990's with Joe Jusko, an artist whose artwork has been featured here before. Marvel Masterpieces was a series of trading cards with art by Jusko. The artwork was collected in a collection of books called The Marvel Masterpieces Collection, which is where the pics in today's post come from.

Check out more artwork below.

DRAMAtical Murder

2012-04-18T02:00:00.000-05:00

DRAMAtical Murder (abbreviated as DMMd) is a visual novel from Nitro+Chiral, the company behind Togainu no Chi, Lamento, and Sweet Pool. Unlike their other games, this one takes place in the future and involves, among other things, a virtual world.

Another thing that sets it apart from Nitro+Chiral's other works is the slightly brighter color palette. I especially like the abundance of blue in the design of the main character.

There may be some spoilers in the art below.

Dat Spider-Man: A Micropost

2012-04-13T02:39:00.000-05:00

Today's post is a single scan from Avenging Spider-Man #5. Leinil Francis Yu provides the art. It has to be a coincidence that the final line from the preceding page is Peter saying "What's everyone looking at?" Right?

Rurouni Kenshin

2012-04-11T02:06:00.001-05:00

It's been four years since I last posted pics from the manga/anime series Rurouni Kenshin. Why I waited so long to revisit this, I'll never know. Enjoy the rest of the pics below.

Luther Strode's Hidden Talent: A Micropost

2012-03-26T02:00:00.000-05:00

The Strange Talent of Luther Strode is a miniseries by Justin Jordan and Tradd Moore about a teenager who becomes an assassin. It's ultraviolent and a lot of fun to read.

The last issue came out recently and it contained a great pinup by Mike Rooth. Check it out below:

Just One Kiss: A Micropost

2012-03-14T02:00:00.000-05:00

Today's post is a single scan from Avengers: The Children's Crusade #9. It features Wiccan and Hulkling, the popular couple from Young Avengers. Pencils are by Jim Cheung.

Uta no Prince-sama

2012-03-07T02:00:00.000-06:00

Uta no Prince-sama is an otome visual novel and anime series. Similar to La Corda d'Oro, the show revolves around a girl going to a music school. Unlike the school on that show, it's a training ground for wannabe idols and songwriters. All the teachers are former idols and romantic relationships between male and female students are forbidden (cue the yaoi fans).

What makes Uta no Prince-sama stand out are the colorful character designs and the fact that (spoiler alert) the six guys become a boy band called Starish (with a star for the "a"). A second season of the anime has been announced.

Shirtless Shep: A Micropost

2012-02-29T02:00:00.000-06:00

The highly anticipated video game Mass Effect 3 hits stores in less than a week. If all the hype and the cinematic commercials don't make you interested in this game, then the pics below just might.

We finally get to see what Commander Shepard has been hiding underneath the uniforms and armor and it's well worth the wait.

Shep's very sexy black boxer briefs are apparently casual wear that will somehow be available in the game (Femshep gets a bra and panties for those that care). I'm betting the romance scenes will be a lot hotter this time around.

Pics were found on Bioware's forums.

Guys of The New 52: Aquaman

2012-02-22T02:00:00.000-06:00

The next entry in the Guys of The New 52 is Aquaman. Even though he's a character that's been maligned over the years, I am enjoying his current series. It probably helps, though, that Ivan Reis is the one doing the pencils. Below, you'll find some pics from Aquaman #1, #2, and #4, along with a couple from Justice League #3 and #4 with pencils by Jim Lee.

New Thundercats

2012-02-15T02:00:00.000-06:00

In 2011, Cartoon Network premiered a new version of Thundercats. This reboot made a few notable changes. Thundera became a kingdom on Third Earth instead of its own planet. Lion-O and Tygra became (step)brothers with a competitive streak. It also adopted more of an anime look. The original show was animated in Japan and so is the new show.

Whether or not you were a fan of the original, the new version is definitely worth watching. Check out some more art and screencaps below. Some pics come from the great Thundercats fan site Thundercats.ws

Wand of Fortune II

2012-02-08T02:00:00.000-06:00

Wand of Fortune II is the sequel to Otomate's Wand of Fortune and once again features beautiful artwork by Kagero Usaba. I have to admit that I don't know anything about the plot but it looks like there's at least one new character to be found.

I hope this game can follow in the footsteps of La Corda d'Oro, Hakuouki, and Uta no Prince-Sama (the subject of its own post soon) and get an anime adaptation one day.

Guys of The New 52: Teen Titans

2012-02-01T02:00:00.000-06:00

The Guys of The New 52 series continues with the guys from Teen Titans. The males in the lineup this time around are Red Robin, Kid Flash, Superboy, and the new guy Bunker, who is gay.

Brett Booth and Norm Rapund provide the art for this new incarnation. The scans in today's post come from issues #1-5 of Teen Titans.

Guys of The New 52: Superman

2011-10-18T02:10:00.000-05:00

Today's post is the first in a series spotlighting the guys of DC Comics "New 52" reboot. It's fitting that the first post features the one and only Superman. Most of the pics show off Supes' new brief-less costume design, although a couple feature Superman donning a T-shirt and jeans.

The pics come from Action Comics #1 and #2, Superman #1, and Justice League #1. Jim Lee, Jesus Merino, Rags Morales, and Ethan Van Sciver provide the art.

More Tiger & Bunny

2011-10-14T03:58:00.000-05:00

It's time to revisit the awesomeness that is Tiger & Bunny, one of the better anime series I've seen in a while. I first posted about this show in July and back then, there wasn't much in the way of official art. Thankfully, this is not the case anymore. Check out more art below.

Superboy Goes Blonde

2011-09-30T03:11:00.003-05:00

In the recent Young Justice episode "Terrors," Superboy and Miss Martian go undercover at a prison for supervillains as twins. Thus, we get a chance to see Conner as a blonde. I think he pulls it off pretty well. Check out the pics below.

A Little More Daken

2011-09-17T00:31:00.000-05:00

It's been more than a year since Wolverine's son Daken was featured on HFG. Today's post features some scans from issues #9, 9.1, and 10 of his current series. The art is by Marco Checchetto, Ron Garney, and Mateo Buffagni with Riley Rossmo.

Herc

2011-09-06T02:13:00.001-05:00

The comic that was once known as The Incredible Hercules was relaunched a while back as simply Herc. This time around, our hero is completely mortal.

Today's post features art from issues #1, 2, 6, and 6.1 of the series. Pencils are by Neil Edwards and Mike Grell.

More Wolverine Anime-Style

2011-08-29T03:34:00.000-05:00

I wasn't really intending on revisiting the Marvel Anime guys until I got some artwork from X-Men and Blade for the second part of this series. As I started actually watching Wolverine, I realized that (like many anime) this show uses pans to help cut animation costs. Also, this show especially likes using these pans over Wolvie himself.

Some screencapping and some stitching and now we've got more pics of Wolverine. The pics below all come from the first half (eps 1-6) of the anime.

Metal Gear Solid

2011-08-25T13:56:00.000-05:00

There are times when I think I posted something before but it turned out I hadn't. Today's post is one of those times. Somehow, I went all this time without ever featuring Solid Snake or the other guys of the Metal Gear Solid series. I guess HFG's 601st post is as good a time as any to remedy this. More art from various games in the series is below.

Flashpoint Cyborg: A Micropost

2011-08-20T01:44:00.000-05:00

I really like this alternate cover of Flashpoint #1 penciled by Ivan Reis that features Cyborg.

Three Dimensions (Part Three): Video Game Guys

2011-08-16T22:41:00.003-05:00

Today's post is the third part of the Three Dimensions series, focusing on statues, toys, and dioramas. This time around, the focus is on the guys of video games in non-virtual form.

This statue of Vega from Pop Culture Shock shows the Street Fighter hottie unmasked:

Kratos, our favorite God of War, gets his due courtesy of Sideshow Collectibles:

Pop Culture Shock is behind this upcoming statue of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat:

Finally, some guys from Resident Evil courtesy of Hot Toys beginning with Krauser...

...and the ever-sexy "I wish he was real" Chris Redfield:

Emperor Aquaman

2011-08-08T01:29:00.001-05:00

Flashpoint is the current major event happening in the DC Universe, one that paves the way for the much talked about reboot of the entire DCU. All of your favorite superheroes are different in the world of Flashpoint, including Aquaman.

Emperor Aquaman is the name of the mini-series dealing with Flashpoint's version of Arthur Curry. While today's post features artwork from that series, I've also included some art of the character from the main Flashpoint series and the Hal Jordan mini-series.

Adrian Syaf did the pencils for the covers and interior artwork from Flashpoint: Emperor Aquaman issues #1 and #2. The alternate cover of Flashpoint #3 was penciled by Ivan Reis. The interior art from Flashpoint #2 was penciled by Andy Kubert. Finally, the interior art from Flashpoint: Hal Jordan #1 was done by Ben Oliver.

Inversion

2011-08-01T18:29:00.001-05:00

Inversion is a third-person shooter from Bandai Namco that's set to come out for the PS3 and X360 in February. The story revolves around Davis Russel, a cop and father who works with his partner Leo Delgado to find his missing daughter after an alien invasion. The name of the game comes from the ability of the characters to manipulate gravity.

Kami-sama Dolls: A Micropost

2011-07-30T01:00:00.000-05:00

Kami-sama Dolls is the new anime from Kishi Seiji, the director of Angel Beats. That anime gave us this, which probably explains why episode four of his latest work gives us this:
