When I started creating my weekly blog theme, this archive of pictures was one of the first things I had in mind. If you have any free time, I strongly suggest you visit the link and view all 26 images. It was quite funny and entertaining for me looking at some famous comic book characters that I grew up reading about put in a new setting.

I think this gallery is a decent example of defamiliarization. Seeing superheroes put in a single image each with its own theme which corresponds to a letter. One of my favorites was the letter "P". "Peter Parker Playing Ping-Pong with Pikachu".

Also these pictures also change the overall view we have on superheroes. Normally, superheroes are super, because of their morals and their powers. These pictures show that the superheroes are still people, with real complex feelings and emotions.

For example:

"C is for Capitan Britain Cuddling Cerberus"

How many superheroes have ever been given a scene where they sit and "cuddle" with... something...

"D is for Doctor Who Defeating Dr. Doom in a Deadly Disco Dance-off"

Does Batman ever try to disco battle Joker?

"G is for Galactus Geeking out with his Glove puppets of Gundum and Godzilla"

Galactus, one of the biggest most feared evil villains outs there, playing with puppets?

I like how Neil defamiliarized and humanized superheroes. I look forward to his future work.
