Captain America & Iron Man Stuff to Whet Your Civil War Appetite

Captain America: Civil War is still a week away and if you’re like me you can barely contain your excitement!

So, to help wile away the hours until then, here’s some stuff to peruse. Enjoy!

Superhero Squad Cards

When the boy was little he had all these cute little Marvel action figures that he just loved. Apparently they were really popular because they also spawned a TV show, a video game, and a set of trading cards. Here’s a sampling:

Marvel-ous Christmas

Over Thanksgiving I was out to visit the family in Iowa, and we attended the Quad City Arts Festival of Trees.

While there was plenty of great stuff to look at, I thought these two displays were especially fun:

If I’d had a decent way to get this home, I would’ve bought it in a second. Then again I could’ve just eaten it back at the hotel. Oh well…
