Marvel 1602

I'm sure I've mentioned before that I have a more historical background when it comes to costuming, so I was super excited when a friend showed me Marvel 1602. You see, some family friends do events at a place called Pioneer Village in Salem, a false town based on New England in the 1630s. Despite it being too late for marvel 1602, I still want to make some of the costumes (and maybe a photoshoot?).

My favorite ever is the Spider-man costume:

I also very much liked Nick Fury's costume:

And I thought the x-men uniform was kinda silly, but I liked how the costumes are still recognizable: 

I really like blue, so I really like Susan Storm's dress as well as the rest of the Fantastic Four:

but Johnny reminds me of Guy Fieri so that kinda ruins the look for me.

Of course, my historical background is more in the 19th century, so I'm not judging on historical accuracy. But yeah, I'd love to make that Spider-man costume or see other people make costumes from this series.

Wedding covers

Oh wow, three posts in one week? how cool!

So I was browsing Comics Alliance today and found the article on Phil Noto's variant cover for Astonishing X-men #51 which will have the first gay marriage in Marvel comics.

The next question is why do I care, This is a great thing to happen and all, but I just don't care for weddings in general.
The answer is that my best friend, Sarah collects wedding editions of comics (mostly avengers related). So far she has the Black Panther and Storms wedding, and Luke cage and Jessica Jones' wedding. 













So I guess I'll be going out early to try and pick up this variant and gift it to my friend.
