Digimon are creatures who live only in the "Digital World" - a parallel universe created by accident from Earth's communication signals. The Digital World can be accessed by digitizing humans, and the different species of Digimon are raised by various Tamers. The Digimon are then used to battle each other, as well as fighting evil humans who want to corrupt the Digital World. Digimon started out during the virtual pet toy phenomenon of the late 90's, and later turned into video games and an anime series. With a similar premise to Pokémon, the original anime proved popular, and spawned several more animated series, Manga, feature length films, as well as numerous video games and a successful toy line! The franchise is known for its wide variety of unique monsters, and virtual pet toys. To celebrate this popular Japanese franchise, here's a selection of Displate artwork featuring some of the main creatures found in the Digital World!

First appearing in the late 1990s to rival Tamagotchi virtual pet toys, Digimon fast became popular in anime, manga, and video games. Featuring digital monsters, the franchise is very similar in premise to that of Nintendo's Pokémon, albeit set in a parallel digital world. The various digital monsters usually team-up with their human counterparts in order to battle evil Digimon and human villains who are intent on destroying the fabric of the digital world. The virtual toy line by Bandai enjoyed moderate success around the world, but the franchise only really became popular after the introduction of the anime TV series, and later, the breakthrough into video games. The franchise is now over 20 years old, and is still popular amongst otaku. Here's a selection of sumi-é Displate artwork by artist Soulkr Design based on some of the more frequently seen Digimon characters.

Ant-Man And The Wasp is the latest film in Marvel's Cinematic Universe series of films featuring popular superheroes. The film was released several months ago in the United States, and has recently been released in cinemas in Europe (delayed in order to avoid competing with the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia over the summer). The film is a direct sequel to Ant-Man, and takes place after the events of Civil War but slightly before the events of Infinity War, and continues the story arc of Scott Lang and his incredible shrinking suit developed by Hank Pym. The film has received mostly positive reviews from critics and fans, citing it as being a "Funnier and more light-hearted story" compared to that of some of the more recent films in the hugely successful Marvel franchise. The film has so far earned over $450m across all markets where it has been released, but some believe that the delayed release in Europe may have hindered its potential success, especially during an unprecedented heat-wave over the last few weeks. To celebrate the theatrical release of the film, here's some officially licenced Displate artwork featuring some of the key characters from Ant-Man And The Wasp!

Fortnite was originally released by Epic Games back in 2017 as an open-world multiplayer first-person survival game similar to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. However, since Epic Games introduced a free-to-play Battle Royale mode across all platforms (including mobile devices), the game quickly become a cultural phenomenon almost overnight! The game revolves around 100 players parachuting onto an island, with the sole intent of being the last player standing. Players are forced to a specific area of the map by a storm that surrounds the playing field, which gradually shrinks in size to encourage players to move to a safe area and to engage each other in combat. The game currently boasts over 125 million players across all platforms, and has become a huge financial success for Epic Games via the various micro-transactions in the game.
