Professional artists and gifted amateurs alike enjoy recreating their heroes and heroines and often put a twist on their usual look.

1. Wolverine Mickey Mouse
Two years ago on August 31st, Disney bought Marvel and added around 5000 new characters to their stable. This pic of Logan (Wolverine)/Mickey Mouse in X-Men regalia is just an incredible tribute to the pairing. Take a look at some of graphicgeek’s other work.
