Black Panther: Oh, yeah

Just check out this trailer, and you'll know I'm not going to miss this one.



The star, Chadwick Boseman, was great in the last Captain America movie, and I've liked what I've seen of director Ryan Coogler's work, so I expect this to be a good one.

Superhero stamps

They may be dorky, but the comic book fan in me can't help but recommend them: the new Marvel superhero stamps. They make a lovely package with the earlier DC superhero stamps. Buy 'em (I didn't have to, because Jennie gave me a set), enjoy 'em, and use 'em--or, if you're like me and can't bear to part with them, then just collect them along with all your other collectibles.

The drawings on the stamps are mostly from early renderings of the characters, but some appear to be later, slightly sleeker images. You get Spidey, the Hulk, the Sub-mariner, the Thing, Captain America, the Silver Surfer, Spider-Woman, Iron Man, Elektra (possibly the weakest drawing of the lot), and Wolverine.

As Stan Lee might have written, Excelsior!
