It started off as a joke, then it became self-referential, then it became the target of fan ire and now it's on the verge of eating itself... Just how many comics is Wolverine in?

From the way people go on about it (including us!), you may be surprised at the answer. Or I may just be being a little naive... I've only counted regular titles and not one-shots and/or guest appearances but click through for the answer and some cool artwork!

I honestly can't remember where I found this picture but that doesn't detract for it's beauty. It's the kind of street art that is so good it actually tricks your eyes for s second, I was honestly concerned for the fella standing on the ledge, of course I needn't have been worried with The Dynamic Duo on the case.

If you're the artist or ethe guy in the photo or both, please get in touch either on Twitter @sidekickcast or by email sidekickcast@sidekickcomicsuk.com

Never did I think the day would come when I would find something so awesome that I absolutely had to get it on the site no matter who else was running it or when it came out...I was so wrong. Thank you carinsuance.org via the mighty iFanboy. Personally I've always been partial to the penis extension on wheels from Batman: The Animated Series, which is your favourite?

Police were called out to a Hollywood bash today as chaos and violence broke out at the 30th Anniversary celebrations of 80's dayglow classic Flash Gordon. As you can see at first all was well as the movies stars Flash Gordon and Ming the Merciless met up for the first time in 30 years.

It didn't take long before the uneasy alliance was broken and once again the old enemies were at each other's throats, the flashpoint according to an onlooking Rocky Balboa was a comment Ming made about Flash's latest venture as a naked windowcleaner.

I was struggling for inspiration for Something Silly this week and then I saw a retweet from @mrmarkmillar linking to this motion comic version of Nemesis. It seems by nature of his retweet Mark Millar approves of what I can only assume is a Nemesis fan film and it's not hard to see why, this rocks!

It almost sounds like something Rude for Sunday but it should be something Awesome for Sunday, that’s Twitter art. Each week a new theme, each week a new series of pieces by a bunch of talented artists including Declan Shalvey, Evan “Doc” Shaner, and Chris Samnee (whose new Thor series I still haven’t gotten around to looking at, but I hear it looks amazing).
