Cool Art: 'Star Trek: Insurrection' by Matt Ferguson
Not long back off my hols, had an awesome week in Ibiza! But whilst I was over there I caught a glimpse of this simply stunning 'Star Trek' poster on my blog feeds.

Off On My Hols, I'll Be Back In A Week!
I'll be jetting off on my hols today for a week of sun, sand, sea and fun in Ibiza! Been going there for the last few years now. Of course, this means I won't be able to post to this blog when I'm away, in fact I won't be near a computer for most of the time either - it'll be torture, but I'll keep calm and think of Ibiza!
When I'm there I will be posting photos up on my Instagram, Facebook and Twitter during the week and once I'm back home in a week, I'll go through all the rest of the photos and videos I'll post more to Flickr and my video channels on YouTube and Vimeo.
So I'll leave you with some videos below that I put together from my trip to Ibiza last year.
See you in a week!

DC Nation Animated Short: 'The Bat Man Of Shanghai'
This. Is. Awesome!
I first saw this short last year, but after seeing the new 'Wonder Woman' DC Nation short, I thought I'd look for these and post it again!
Set it to full screen HD, sit back and enjoy 'The Bat Man Of Shanghai'.

'Wonder Woman' Kicks Ass In These Awesome DC Nation Animated Shorts
I'm loving these stylised 'Wonder Woman' animated shorts by Robert Valley (Tron: Uprising) for DC Nation. 'Wonder Woman' is definitely super cool! I would watch the hell out of this if this was made into a series!
Check out the preview then watch the three shorts below.

Cool Art: 'Jack' by Tankball
Check out this awesome papercraft statue, yes papercraft, of Jack from Mass Effect 3! It took Deviant Art user tankball around 4 months and $150-$200 in paper, wood, and ink to make. It looks stunningly lifelike! He's also planning to upload the files and a video too, so you can have a go too!
Go here for some up close detail shots.

'Fables: The Wolf Among Us' Video Game Teaser Trailer
This looks pretty good, as if it's straight off the pages and onto the screen!
From Telltale Games, the makers of 'The Walking Dead' video game series, comes 'The Wolf Among Us', a video game series based upon the DC / Vertigo (and one of my favourite) comic book series 'Fables'by Bill Willingham.
Not much details out there yet, but I think I'll be keeping tabs on this!

Happy Birthday, Hugo Gernsback - Founder Of 'Amazing Stories'
He's best known, in April 1926, for launching the first magazine fully-dedicated to science fiction, Amazing Stories, the debut issue featured works by HG Wells, Jules Verne and Edgar Allen Poe and although Gernsback lost control of the publishing rights in 1929, the magazine was in publication up until 2005, and has been resurrected online since 2012.
Gernsback was noted for his sharp (and sometimes dodgy) business practices, and for paying his writers extremely low fees or not paying them at all. HP Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith referred to him as 'Hugo the Rat'.
He is also credited as first coining the phrase ‘scientifiction‘, which would later become the term we know and love. His definition of the term being - "a charming romance interwoven with scientific fact and prophetic vision."
The Hugo Awards or 'Hugos', the annual achievement awards presented at the World Science Fiction Convention, were named after him, Gernsback himself received a special Hugo Award in 1960 as 'The Father of Magazine Science Fiction'.
In honour of the birth of one of the most influential figures in the history of science fiction, and as I totally love the artwork, here are a few of my favourite covers from 'Amazing Stories', starting with the very first issue.
What If 'Star Wars: Episode II' Was Good
I'm liking this hypothetical of what if about 'Attack Of The Clones. I totally get the swapping of Naboo for Alderaan (forgotten detail he intended to mention for Episode I), and the whole Obi Wan / Anakin bromance thing too.
I've often felt that the pacing of the movie just fell a bit flat, especially the sequences on Naboo and Coruscant. Michael Barryte of Belated Media's shake up certainly addresses that point and a lot more. Would have loved to see this version instead.
You can see what he'd change from Episode I here.
