It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Standard Edition Screen Print by Nicolas Delort

Over the past few years Dark Hall Mansion has released some amazing Peanuts screen prints, but this haunting “It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” poster by Nicolas Delort might just be their best yet! The Blot’s embarrassed to admit I wasn’t familiar with Nicolas’ work before this release, but after visiting his website I was blown away by his designs. His black and white line work is seriously amazing!

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Glow in the Dark Variant Screen Print by Nicolas Delort

Nicolas Delort's gorgeous interpretation of Schulz's annual Halloween classic signals the holidays are upon us!

His highly detailed line work well serves his hauntingly beautiful composition, truly making this year's Great Pumpkin screen print a singular and moving release.

NYCC 14 Exclusive Astro Boy Hikari Vinyl Figures by Funko

New York Comic Con 2014 Exclusive Astro Boy Hikari Vinyl Figures by Funko - Rice Candy Edition & Pyro Edition

The Blot’s had some pretty mixed feelings about Funko’s new line of Hikari vinyl figures. Some of these officially licensed pop culture figures have looked awesome, while the sculpts of other Hikari figures have looked pretty terrible. To be honest, I’ve tried to ignore the bad ones and focus on the Hikari toys I do like. Take for instance, these amazing Astro Boy Hikari!

Osamu Tezuka's iconic Mighty Atom gets the Funko Hikari treatment this October, and Toy Tokyo will be releasing the figure’s first two colorways exclusively at New York Comic Con 2014! First up is the Botan Rice Candy Edition and the Pyro Edition. I love both versions, but the how crazy is that Pyro colorway with its beautiful melted crayon façade!?! This one is going to be especially hard to get as it’s limited to just 88 pieces.

Tonight’s the world premiere of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD Season 2 and The Blot can’t wait! To promote the new season, ABC has released this kinda “meh” one sheet teaser TV poster. It doesn’t actually say anything, but you can decipher some hidden messages by how the cast in lined up. For instance, Chloe Bennet’s Skye is now a full-fledged agent of SHIELD, while Brett Dalton’s Grant Ward has his back turned to the rest of the cast, which shows he is still at odds with the rest of his team. What more can we learn from this last official image before tonight’s premiere?

Arrow Season 3 Television Poster

Arrow Season 3 Television Poster

For some odd reason we’re still weeks away from the season premiere of Arrow on The CW. To help us kill the time until Stephen Amell’s Oliver Queen/Green Arrow returns to the TVs everywhere, The CW has released this Arrow Season 3 television poster. I actually like this group shot of Team Arrow, which includes Colton Haynes as Roy Harper/Arsenal, Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak, Amell, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance and David Ramsey as John Diggle. My only gripe is how freaking fake this poster looks! They couldn’t they have just taken a cast photo? Ugh… Regardless, bring on the 2014/2015 television season! With 5 different DC Comics live action shows airing this fall, The Blot is in hog heaven! I just hope they live up to they hype.

Arrow Season 3 premieres on The CW Wednesday, October 8th, at 8/7c.
