What’s the greatest show to ever get canceled? (…besides Firefly)

Oh, it’s a doozy of a “Postal Apocalypse” this week! We’ve got the X-Men hurting themselves! Where the hell Sailor Moon went! Only one zombie question!

I guess this guy really likes Sailor Moon

Also, he really likes construction paper, apparently. This is Evan MacIsaac, performing the song “Do My Thing” by Estelle and Janelle Monáe, in the cheapest but possibly most inspired cosplay I’ve ever seen. I’m genuinely impressed. And confused. And possibly mildly traumatized. [Via iGeektrooper]

Sailor Moon grows up, ditches the schoolgirl skirts for body armor

We previously dug Kevin Wada’s high-fashion interpretations of the X-Men. Now check out his adult take on the Sailor Scouts, who are now sporting armor and whatnot. It’s far and away more dignified than the scuttled American adaptation of the show, that’s for certain.

Batgirl Sailor Moon is so absurd it works

Presumably from the reality that spawned Cliff Chiang’s nixed Justice League of Japan comes Corey Lewis’ Sailor Bat, who is so gleefully ridiculous she dispels any and all mash-up-induced malaise. For further characters that will never officially grace the comic page, see the Sailor Avengers. [Corey Lewis via Project Rooftop]
