Nerd is the New Black: Civil War
Monday, May 02, 2016
Full disclosure: I've already seen Civil War (twice!), and it's great.
But if you haven't and you want to head to the cinema wearing something that proclaims your Cap vs. Iron Man loyalties, or if you just want to look at some cool Civil War-inspired stuff... well, that's what we're here for.
Let's start with the iconic Cap vs. Iron Man image from the comics, above.
Cool, huh? Etsy has some neat alternatives, like this one from ColourInkStudio.

This extremely cool melted crayon art from The Cat and Dragon:
Display your loyalty on your sleeve (or lapel, whatever) with badges from The Square Penguin:
