T-shirt Tuesday: Periodic Table of Marvel

Wow, I haven't bought a t-shirt since the Black Panther Starry T-shirt back in 2021. I found this Periodic Table of Marvel t-shirt earlier today while I was shopping for a thermal shirt at the local Walmart's. The price was a whopping $8.98 and the fabric is a little on the thin side. It's black with faces of superheroes and supervillains from Marvel Comics. The superheroes include Spider-Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hulk, Black Panther, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Thor, Vision, Doctor Strange, She-Hulk, Nova, Black Bolt, Clea, Ant Man, Wasp, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Falcon, Lockjaw, Rocket Raccoon, Spider-Woman and Ghost Rider. The supervillains include Venom, Green Goblin, Thanos, Liki, Red Skull, Hel, Baron Zemo, Dormammu, MODOCK and Ultron.

Vending Machine Ultimate Spider-Man Tattoos

I picked up a few of the Ultimate Spider-Man temporary tattoos from a vending machine at the local grocery store. Each tattoo was fifty cents and feature a character from the Marvel Kids cartoon series. There are ten different ones in the set.

First up is Peter Parker in classic Spider-Man costume ready to shoot his webs at you (there is another tattoo of him swinging from his web):

Next up is Black Spider (I actually had to look him up since I have only seen a few episodes of the series and it turns out that he is actually Harry Osborn):

Here's the Iron Fist tattoo and he's my second favorite:

I like how Nova is captured in flight with his hands energized:

I was surprised to get White Tiger for she is the only woman in the set and she is by far my favorite one:

Here is what the backs of the tattoo cards look like (notice that there are not any numbers but it was made by Vending Supply in 2014 using only FDA certified colorants):

The tattoos that I didn't get include the swinging Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Goblin, Lizard, and Doc Octopus. I'm not sure if I will pick more up or not since I'm out of quarters and I'm happy with what I got so far.

Netflix To Bring Four Marvel Superheroes To Tv

According to Netflix signed a HUGE deal with Marvel for Dardevil, Luke Cage series + more, not only will those two superheroes be getting their own live action Internet tv series but Jessica Jones and Iron Fist is also on the list. There will even be a crossover mini-series featuring the four called The Defenders. Looks like I may have to subscribe to Netflix in 2015.

The Defenders Are Back

I have always enjoyed The Defenders and Doctor Strange gathers a new group in the latest incarnation. The Hulk shows up at Stephen's place asking for help. The pair find King Namor, who is looking more alien than ever. The trio quickly finds the Silver Surfer playing in the snow on the Cantabrian Mountains. The quartet finds Betty Ross aka the red She-Hulk after chasing the bulls in Pamplona. Iron Fist in his white and gold costume is the last to be found in China. The art is clean and the story is fast-paced. My only complaint is that I would have enjoyed seeing Doctor Strange wearing his new costume more but I expect that will happen with the second issue.

Marvel Heroes Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book

I was at the local Dollar General yesterday morning and picked up the Marvel Heroes Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book published by Bendon from 2009. As you can tell by the front cover, Wolverine is the predominate character featured followed by Spider-Man, Iron Man and the Hulk. Captain America and Thor gets a few pages but Mr. Fantastic seem to appear more than the Thing. I was surprised to see a few coloring pages featuring Iron Fist. A few of the villains get their own pages especially Black Cat, Rhino and the Lizard. The activity part is mostly in the form of puzzles, word searches and games. The back cover features a door hanger featuring the Marvel Heroes that one can cut out and use.
