Friendly Neighborhood Postage Stamps

I think I've lost a few geek cred points. Would you believe I had no idea the Marvel stamps had already been released? For the most part, I dig 'em.

I have to ask, though, if Spider-woman and Elektra are the most iconic women characters in Marvel comics. Wouldn't the casual person on the street be more familiar with the Invisible Woman? What about the Scarlet Witch or She-Hulk? The most deserving of the Marvel women is probably Wasp, a founder and long time member of the Avengers.

The Sub-Mariner and The Thing stamps don't do much for me, either. What about Thor or Daredevil? One would think either of them are more recognizable than Sub-Mariner.

Nevertheless, I have my sheet of Marvel stamps sitting in my desk and will use them with pride. Now, who will be deemed Iron Man worthy?

After Civil War, maybe a utility bill. Anyone else might take offense.

ROFLMAO! And to think, Tony Stark used to the cool, hip, man to be admired. Now he's just a jerk in iron clothing. ::sighs:: He was my favorite hero back in the day.
