HEY! WE got new stuff! That means…..YOU got new stuff! Well, if you give us a little virtually transferred “cashola,” you’ll have yourself some new stuff. Yup. Anyway….NEW STUFF? US? Yes, us. And, as always, we received 38,000 tons and worked far too many hours to make sure that YOU, supportive, eager superhero t-shirt consumer, get your surgeon-smooth grabbers on the good-stuff. Because we care. Because we care about you, super-humanity, the economy, my little brother with the speech impediment and the little baby bunny with one ear and …Pancreatitis. I think they can get that. So….on with a conservative sampling of the NEW…..
It’s the Avengers Good Guys Movie Cast T-Shirt! Man, we just can’t seem to wash the bad taste of this movie out of our….OK! Stop throwing rocks! Yes, I’m kidding; the Avengers movie kicked the !@#$$# out of every preconceived film rolling in my brain’s…movie house. You loved it. We loved it. Here’s another t-shirt celebrating it. I know, I know……you already own 75 Avengers movie t-shirts. Well, here’s another. Now do your damn duty and shut up about it!
It’s the Spider-Man Ominous Lizard Sketch T-Shirt! HEY! There’s
another take on the Spiderman film franchise just around the corner, with Spidey banging against the scaly, regenerating head of…the Lizard! AHH! Yes, he’s the Lizard. AND LOOK! He’s on this very t-shirt! Drooling on Spidey’s head! Layered in shadow and preparing to…uh…Well, we’re really not sure. Guess there’s another t-shirt that tells the rest of the story. Anyway, I guess I’m hoping the Lizard sounds a heck of a lot like Cobra Commander, dragging out that hard “S” for a good 37 seconds, changing a 5 second question into a lesson in social tolerance. OH! What a clever way to segue into the next item of interest…….
It’s the Cobra Spray Paint Stencil 30 Single T-Shirt! They’re Cobra! And yes, i f you happen to be swept up within one of Cobra’s schemes to rule the world, you’ll probably survive it. HOW!!? How on Earth would a spineless, listless “civvy” like yourself survive an attack by a ruthless, efficient terrorist organization determined to rule the world!!??? With a very well placed shoestring, that’s how. Trip the first guy coming down the stairs; watch the other 423 stumble over each other and into the keg-sized vat carrying a deadly contagion. Their collective weight disables the automatic distribution console, interrupting the timing mechanism and ending the threat of a micro-population plague event. And now, you’re an honorary member of Gi Joe.
Anyway, that was a very, very slight sliver shaved from the cotton/polyester t-shirt monolith looming and drooling on the warehouse dock. Take a gander. Take a look. Bring the kids. Take a few pictures. Take some time. Take the train. Add to cart.
We’ve seen quite a few costume changes over the years, from color changes to hair color changes. In the next coming months we will be seeing some new costumes for our favorite heroes in the alternate universe of Earth 2. In this world, many of our loved characters will take on a makeover. DC recently released some teasers on the subject for eager fans just like you (and us, admittedly).
and his cape has a collar reminiscent of the classic Dracula. What truly amazes us is that he seems to be wearing… pants! Instead of his usual skin tight body armor (or classic leotard) the Earth 2 version of Bats will be donning a good ole’ pair of pants. The coolest part of this new outfit appears to be the subtly lined bat symbol blending seamlessly from the chest-piece into the cloak (and hiding skillfully on his knee caps).
Lastly, we discovered upon release of the cover artwork for The World’s Greatest #1, that Power Girl will be donning a very new, and very modest, new outfit for Earth 2. She appears pretty much the same, with her normal color scheme and short blond hair. It’s the keyhole that has disappeared, or rather been filled in. Instead of baring her legs completely, her suit covers almost all of her body, except her arms. Some of us see this as a positive step forward in seeing Power Girl as an empowered female supe, as opposed to an object of fanboy lust (but honestly will this really stop any of you?). But in truth, it just seems like a practical idea to prevent wardrobe mishaps mid-flight (It can’t have been fun to dig bugs out of there… yuck!). At the least she’ll have less time worrying about angling her bust correctly toward the reader, which means more time to dedicate to kicking serious butt. Sounds like a decent trade to us.
