My five year old daughter, we call her the Precocious Princess here, loves to dress up. Absolutely loves it! Whenever we’re in a store, she wants to try on all the costumes. After swapping superhero in-store-costume stories with my buddies C.T. from Nerd Lunch and Terry, I was inspired. When the Princess and I next […]

I’ve been an avid collector of Avengers comic books since the early 1990s. I love this team and I love these characters. The animated series really has an interesting […]

While shopping at Wal-Mart this past weekend, I stumbled across these superhero briefs for men. Yes, these are for adults. They look like overgrown Underoos. While I’m always thrilled to find superhero apparel, these are not something I would wear. This takes scaring away the ladies and reinforcing stereotypes to a whole new level. And […]

This t-shirt design is crazy funny, but I’m sure also very controversial. It was worn by Matt Fraction, writer of The Invincible Iron Man comic book, at the recent San Diego ComicCon. I’m not entirely certain who to thank for this awesome design, but Matt was pointing everyone to “Tony Was Right.com”. Personally, I stumbled […]
