Looking Back | Marching Onward
MARVEL COMICS is selling "deluxe" adult costumes based on some of their more popular characters:
Who says you have to wait until Halloween to dress up as your favorite hero? The official Marvel Shop has numerous costumes (for kids and adults), and with San Diego Comic-Con right around the corner, there's no better time to pick up some fun attire.
Yep, they've got all kinds of great outfits for comic fans who want to dress-up...
They've got CAPTAIN AMERICA,
HULK,
IRON MAN,
and even GHOST RIDER (for those fans who want to dress up like a third-string superhero with a movie that tanked...).
And, of course, for the LADIES, Mighty Marvel is offering...
Um...
Some lip gloss.
For the young ladies out there, Marvel has partnered with Lotta Luv to create some awesome lip glosses and lip balms.
Douglas Miller, Licensing Coordinator for Lotta Luv, says: "With a branded line of make-up from Marvel, girls will be able to feel as if they are going from ordinary to extraordinary just like the super hero characters in the stories... There is also such a nostalgic undertone that either young or older girls are drawn towards because of the long history and brand behind the name Marvel."
Looking at the Marvel Shop online, they ARE selling a "Sassy Spider-Girl" costume. Check it out!
Yah. Um, guys, I wouldn't use that to support the argument that you're offering a good number of choices for women. OK?
Well, maybe they have a point here. I mean, after all, it's not like you ever see grown women dressed up as their favorite characters at a con! Right?

In Marvel's defense, there are tons of superhero-themed or style costumes for women. Admittedly, many of them are of the "sexy" variety, but as one commenter pointed out above, many superhero costumes are little more than fancy bathing suits to begin with. It's a lot harder for a man to find a decent costume of any kind than it is for a woman.
You're probably right about the men's Marvel costumes being quite cheap tho... Kinda thought they could've been better. But men dressed as super heroes usually aren't my thing.
