In spirit of the trailer for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (and out of pure love for Phil Coulson). Personally, I dig the impact of the simplicity of this tee, but if this isn’t your cup of tea, check out We Love Fine’s huge catalog of Agent Coulson/S.H.I.E.L.D. designs HERE!

Bonus: The first trailer for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. can be seen below (click on the tiny grey rectangle!)

With Star Trek Into Darkness right around the corner, I’ve been getting a lot of messages about Star Trek-inspired fashion. Luckily, Fab just launched a week-long Star Trek fashion sale, featuring graphic tees, costume-inspired apparel, and costume replicas (for men, women, and kids).

Check out the sale HERE!

New Marvel T-Shirts Tell Boys They Can Be Heroes, And Girls That A Hero Will Save Them By Joseph Hughes Following the success of the Avengers film, and with Iron Man 3 set to hit theaters next month, the characters who make up Marvels Avengers team are more recognizable than ever. Naturally, the publisher is taking advantage of that fact via merchandise, including the two t-shirts pictured above.

These are Marvel’s characters, the foundation of their company. As such, these products represent them, not the manufacturers. When people see this, and are (rightfully) bothered by it, they aren’t going to care what middle man made the shirts. They’re going to instantly direct their ire toward Marvel, as it it will look to them as if Marvel is telling boys they can be heroes, and telling girls that, if they’re lucky, a hero will come save them.
