Michael Turner's Fathom

The late Michael Turner created the Fathom comic series back in 1998.  One of the things I've always liked about Fathom is that for all the cheesecake shots of the main character, there are usually always some hot guys to be found.

A good example of this can be seen in scans from issue #7 of the current volume of the series.  Ale Garza handles the pencils.

 

  

You can see some other guys from Fathom in the Michael Turner Artist Spotlight post.  I plan to do a more inclusive post of guys from the series at a later date.

Video Game Week Finale: Misfits #6

Video Game Week comes to a close with a special Misfits post.  A Misfits post usually contains pics that could not support a full post by themselves.  This time around, all the pics are from video games.

First up is the main character of the upcoming Wii shooter The Conduit:

 

Next are three pics of two hot guys from the upcoming MMO APB, which allows you to play as either a criminal or a cop.

 

  

Kratos (who we just saw in the Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny post) will be returning to his own series in the upcoming God of War III.  Hopefully, there will be a ton more art of him to follow the pic below:

  

The following pic of Deadpool was labeled as concept art from Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.  I'm really not sure if it is or not.

The Nintendo DS has an installment of the Tales series called Tales of Hearts that had an interesting release in Japan.  You could buy the game in two different versions.  One version had anime cinematics while the other had CG cinematics.  See what version you prefer in the pics of two male characters below:

 

  

Batman is looking pretty good in the highly anticipated Batman: Arkham Asylum as seen in these pics:

 

  

The following artwork is from a Conan The Barbarian video game, although I've forgotten which one.

This is the only artwork I could find of this guy from Saint's Row 2.  If anyone has more art of the buff, shirtless guy in this picture, I'd love to see it.

 

I like the style of the sequel Army of Two: The 40th Day.  I just wish I could see more of the guys again.

 

  

Finally, I somehow missed these four male characters from Virtua Fighter 5 completely when I originally featured the game.

  

I hope you enjoyed this special week of posts.  Things go back to normal on Monday.

Video Game Week Day Six: Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny

The second of today's mini-posts features artwork from the latest game in the Soul Calibur series.

Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny is a brand-new game for the PSP and features many of the beloved characters from the series.  In keeping with the tradition of guest characters, this game features Kratos from the God of War series as a playable character.

This game is set to be released in late September/early October.

 

 

Video Game Week Day Six: Uncharted 2

It's the next-to-last day of Video Game Week and today there are two mini-posts featuring upcoming games.  The first game featured is the highly anticipated PS3 sequel Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. 

The original game was featured on HFG back in September 2008 and the new game is looking pretty nice so far.  It is set for release this October.

 

  

  

  

 

Video Game Week Day Five: Shadow Hearts

Video Game Week continues with some RPG love.  Shadow Hearts is a series of RPG's released for the PS2.  The games take place in an alternate version of the past.  The first game takes place in 1913.  The second game takes place prior to World War I and the most recent game takes place in 1929.

All three games in the series were released in America and as far as I can tell, there are no current plans to continue the series on the current generation of consoles.
