- Thanos is just about to magic all of the people back to San Diego Comic-Con, so it’s only fitting that LEGO has created an eight and half foot tall iteration of him. Created out of 91,350 bricks, he’ll be on display at the LEGO booth.
- Jason Edmiston has more Thanos for you, with the latest edition of his Eyes Without a Face series. In order to get your hands on this 8.25″x3.5″ acrylic painting ($750), you’ll hae to battle it out and “be the first mortal being to successfully acquire all 6 Infinity Stones in a row, out of Thanos’ celestial satchel without pulling a clear crystal stone”. There will also be pencil editions for $250, which require no such superhuman feat.

- LEGO artist Dan Veesenmeyer is bringing his own take on the Batman and Catwoman wedding to San Diego Comic-Con. Pick up yours at Artists Alley HH-23.
Well surprise! The good news is I was actually able to illustrate a new print for #SDCC after all. 😃
Bad news is that printer messed up and printed on a thinner stock than I wanted. 😞 Too late to redo. But I’ll still bring Batman & Catwoman for anyone that is interested. ✌️ pic.twitter.com/M7LWIAJHEx— Dan Veesenmeyer (@dveese) July 16, 2018
- The new Robin Hood film won’t be holding a panel, but they’ll be giving out… er… cryptocurrency? I’m not sure “Steal from the rich to give bitcoin to the poor” has quite the same ring to it.
#RobinHoodMovie is part of the blockchain, now and forever. There are whispers of a thief bringing Crypto-power to the people at #SDCC2018. Stay tuned. pic.twitter.com/GkyByg7lbX
