Slash Film has obtained two new posters for the upcoming JJ Abrams Star Trek flick. These are pretty moody and remind me of my days of green and white computer screens as I tried to program the likeness of Spock on a computers that had yet to invent the original Wolfenstein. The poster features Chris Pine as James T. Kirk, and Zachary Quinto as Spock.
The film is scheduled for release on May 8, 2009.

Take the jump for all seven posters that are re-interpretations of the 1986 DC house ads promoting the series.
Even though it was only announced a few weeks ago, the first Red Sonja teaser poster was released at San Diego Comic Con. Originally scheduled for 2010, it looks like we might see the movie a year earlier than expected. I’m still not convinced Rose is the best She Devil with a Sword, but if she can bring life to the Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith creation, and do it right, then I’ll see it.

Over at the official Adam Hughes site, the master has unveiled his Women of the DC Universe poster that you’ll only be able to pick up at the various conventions Hughes will be appearing at this year.
This is the line art, before DC asked Adam to add Catwoman. You’ll notice on the art on Adam’s table, he had lightly penciled Selina Kyle in on the left hand side. The editors at DC saw this photograph, and asked that she be added to the roster of Heroines and Villianesses on the piece. At that time, the image had already been inked and was in the process of being colored. That’s why we the have line art without Selina.
If you haven’t been reading Catwoman – and obviously many of you haven’t because DC is canceling the series, then you have missed out on some great Adam Hughes covers.
If anyone goes to a con and is able to pick one of these freebies up, do you think you could pick one up for the Major Spoilers HQ wall of hot art?
Is it a poster, or a series of covers stacked side by side? Marvel will be releasing this 55″x16″ poster by John Romita Jr. September 5, 2007.
Take the jump for the big green thing!
Fans have really reacted in a positive manner over the Arthur Suydam cover to Savage Tales #1. You know, this one…
It is such a great cover that Dynamite Entertainment will be releasing an 18 x 24 inch poster this July.
“When I was working on this cover, I wanted to capture a moment of the calm following the storm. It’s like ‘what’s this pretty flower doing in the middle of this barren scene?’ What immediately sprung to mind was to create a painting that felt like Maxfield Parrish meets Robert E. Howard,” said Suydam.
While I like the idea of comic cover posters, this one is so amazing, I would much rather see it as a life size poster. I can imagine the fanboy reaction if such a thing were allowed.
The poster will sell for $7.99.
