Would rather dress like a character you love than fill your wardrobe with whatever color is in? Do you scour Etsy for fandom purses or model your going out clothes after Felicia Day…
Why, because America, that’s why. We believe in excess. Since Iron Man and the Dark Knight landed there’s been a gratuitous serving of comic book films that have bloated the box office.
