Remember the badass Game of Thrones dragon shadow ad that appeared in the New York Times, on the side of buildings and busses, etc? Well, in a way (a big way) this almost trumps that. While it’s not accessible to everyone (it’s in Dorset, UK) like the NYT ad was, it’s nonetheless impressive.

Marcel Dzama’s Melting Snowman
This past weekend as I was roaming around with Paul, I stopped into Toy Tokyo. It was someplace I hadn’t really been in a while, and I forgot how much I loved. It’s one of those places that reminds me how cool New York is/was, and takes me to a really happy place.

For the uninitiated, the film is based on the acclaimed limited comic series of the same name, written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Frank Quitely. Over the course of just twelve issues, Morrison and Quitely distill seventy-plus years of comics into one iconic opus to the Man of Steel as he embarks on a series of great feats and tasks while faced with the fact he’s dying, thanks to a diabolical – and successful – plot by arch nemesis Lex Luthor. To Superman fans, the comic series was a celebration of everything that made him, well, super.
