Super Stamps

Just when I thought that there would be no reason in the world why I would ever need to go to the post office or mail a letter, I find out that the US Postal Service is getting into the Super Hero market. As part of the 2007 Commemorative Stamp Program the US Postal Service is coming out with a Marvel Comics character stamp series.
Characters included are

• Spider-Man
• The Incredible Hulk
• Sub-Mariner
• The Thing
• Captain America
• Silver Surfer
• Spider-Woman
• Iron Man
• Elektra
• Wolverine

Also included in the collection with the ten characters are ten covers featuring the characters

• Amazing Spider-Man #1
• Incredible Hulk #1
• Sub-Mariner #1
• Fantastic Four #3
• Captain America #100
• Silver Surfer #1
• Marvel Spotlight #32 (Spider-Woman)
• Iron Man #1
• Daredevil #176 (Elektra)
• X-Men #1

Here's a quote from Geek Speak about the X-men #1 being featured:

About the only curious item is "X-Men" #1. Saunders notes it's the one from 1963. Thing is, we all know Wolverine wasn't in that issue.
Whatever. If you can get a stamp of the first X-Men comic and a stamp of Wolverine, so much the better.

I think is totally awesome that the Post Office is doing this, I just might have to start collecting stamps.

As a bit of old news, last July the Post Office came out with DC Comic stamp commemorative series.

WOLVERINE MOVIE: Will It Include Brian Cox

Ain't It Cool News is asking the question if Brian Cox, who played William Stryker the main villain in X2, will be appearing in the up coming Wolverine movie. The movie is set to be 17 years ago and Brian said that maybe they can do to him what they did to "Professor X" (Patrick Stewart) and "Magneto" (Ian McKellen) at the beginning of X3, be CG Young-ified. He knows his character is in the film and they have asked him to be in film, but it is yet to be seen how things work out.
