Oh boy comic fans, today is a very special day. The teaser for Joss Whedon’s The Avengers just hit the web and it’s got fan boys (and girls) excited for what is probably the largest superhero movie ever created. Assembling the members one by one in semi-interweaving origin stories Marvel (and now Disney) has taken one helluva chance on the success of this ensemble film. I have a feeling that it’ll be awesome but you probably don’t need me to tell you that right?

Ohhh, Look…Neat Minimalist SuperHero/Villain Posters
Slow day here G-S-T fans, I won’t try to hide it. But to help speed us along, I do have something you may sort of enjoy. I found these cool looking Minimalist Superhero posters that are so simple I wish I’d thought of it. Anyway I got them from one of our favorite sites Geekologie (which is a sister site of I Watch Stuff). Neat thing is that these posters not only feature famous comic Super Heroes, but also the Villains. Have a look and see how many you can name. FYI, if you’re coming up short, I put the answers below…but only for the Heroes. What? You want me to…
