Posted by Eyun on 04/12/09 at 06:43 PMIt keeps telling me to update my shipping address, which I did. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Posted by Eyun on 04/12/09 at 06:50 PMWow! thats pretty awesome.
Posted by Rchapoteau on 04/12/09 at 07:08 PMHalarious
Posted by DaveCarr on 04/12/09 at 07:19 PMMan are you guys trying to get sued?
Posted by lantern4life on 04/12/09 at 07:33 PMGot mine! Thanks guys!
Posted by DarthDuck on 04/12/09 at 07:44 PMSpider-man + Math + Shirt = Awesome. It works on so many levels with Spidey also being a science nerd and all. Great job guys.
Posted by Parker on 04/12/09 at 08:30 PMnot bad. who designs the shirts?
you should let the users submit some designs, maybe, perhaps
Posted by edward on 04/12/09 at 09:17 PMDam you Ifanboy. I was hoping to go to Toronto Con next week and buy some stuff with the little money i have, but now I have to buy this shirt.
Posted by thematthaber on 04/12/09 at 09:31 PMhaha, quite clever. Might just have to pick one up
Posted by drakedangerz on 04/12/09 at 11:27 PMI agree with this equation
Unless you put in Mephisto; then you got some type of radical...
I like the blue shirt though, stands out more
Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/12/09 at 11:33 PMVery nice.
Posted by KickAss on 04/13/09 at 11:17 AMThese are thwipping sweet!
Posted by cromulent on 04/13/09 at 11:52 AMDamn. Nice idea, nice presentation. That is sooo tempting.
One math quibble: Following the line graph back to the origin, it appears you can have some power with zero responsibility.
Posted by patio on 04/13/09 at 12:09 PM@patio - I'd say that can be pretty accurate, though. :)
Posted by OttoBott on 04/13/09 at 12:29 PM@OttoBott - very true.
Posted by patio on 04/13/09 at 12:44 PMLove the new tshirt design.
I'll wear this bad boy with Spidey Pride.
Posted by PimpToxie on 04/13/09 at 02:21 PMTarget acquired
Posted by Weezul on 04/13/09 at 02:43 PMI cackled with nerdy delight.
Posted by cman12 on 04/13/09 at 02:47 PMred or blue? red or blue? red or blue?
Posted by acbg on 04/13/09 at 04:40 PMHooray for XXL.
Posted by cormano on 04/13/09 at 08:50 PMAny word on how he ifanboy shirts are usually sized? I want to order one but not sure if I should order a L or XL
Posted by FanboyStrikesBackDavid on 04/14/09 at 03:24 PMI typically wear XL's and the 'HURM' XL shirt also worked for me...
Posted by DarthDuck on 04/14/09 at 03:55 PMWow, that is Nerdcore, guys. Great design!

A) There will be any left by SDCC
B) They will be on sale at SDCC.
Posted by conor on 04/14/09 at 09:57 PM@conor: This is true. I'm just a cheap bastard trying to not pay shipping.
@filipsabilk: Pimpin' dem books ain't easy, huh?
Posted by miyamotofreak on 04/14/09 at 10:59 PMgraph!pron :)
Posted by spastasmagoria on 04/15/09 at 12:11 AMI'm torn. I love Spider-man, but this shirt reminds me of my statistics class.
Posted by cman12 on 04/15/09 at 02:54 PMOr, rather, how much I hate my statistics class.
Posted by cman12 on 04/15/09 at 02:55 PMGenius shirt, you guys should do a variant down the road with black and white.
Posted by Crucio on 04/17/09 at 07:43 PM"Man are you guys trying to get sued?"
Technically there is nothing on it that is liable. Not the saying, not Spider-man or any logos.
It's far enough away to be considered an homage to the material and doesn't tred on any copyrighted material. It's pretty genius actually, much like the Hurm shirt.
Posted by Crucio on 04/17/09 at 07:47 PMwish u guys have the venom version (black n white). I might consider the blue one.
Posted by excalipoor on 04/20/09 at 01:46 AM@excalipoor
Variant shirts? I think they're a given eventually.
Posted by miyamotofreak on 04/20/09 at 03:18 AMYeah, I'd definitely order this if it was White or Black -- not really feeling the red and blue. Even though I love me some Spidey, the color schemes are a little too American Apparel for me.
Posted by kndoubleu on 04/20/09 at 04:47 AMClever, but the designs could do with being a tad bigger for ease of reading from a distance.
Posted by Mart on 04/25/09 at 03:52 AMFrom a distance it looks like an open umbrella lying on its side.
Posted by cromulent on 04/27/09 at 04:33 PMI really like the concept and design but shouldn't power be on the X axis and responsibility on the Y axis? I haven't done maths for about 12 years but I pretty sure the graph is saying that the more responsibility you have the more power you have... :/
Posted by deadspace on 05/02/09 at 02:53 PMNeither axis has priority over another.
Posted by josh on 05/02/09 at 03:18 PM"with great responsibility comes great power" - ok. just doesn't make sense to me.
Posted by deadspace on 05/02/09 at 03:54 PMIt makes sense in either direction.
Posted by PaulMontgomery on 05/02/09 at 04:10 PMFrom what I remember from math class, it doesn't matter, but it's common to make the X axis and Y axis a certain way. You can choose which is X and which is Y and what the hell Y and X mean.
You don't have to write equations with a b and c. You can use Mickey, Larry and Martha. It doesn't really matter.
Posted by chlop on 05/02/09 at 05:32 PMsorry to get all mathsy but the X axis is where the independent variable goes. if you want to say "as power increases so too does responsibility" then the power will be on the X axis. I've never heard the phrase "with great responsibilty comes great power", which is what the tee says.
Posted by deadspace on 05/02/09 at 09:27 PMIt's a t-shirt. Shhh.
Posted by josh on 05/03/09 at 12:44 AMAgain you still gotta add the X factor that is Mephisto to the equation
Posted by TheNextChampion on 05/03/09 at 12:45 AMWith great math comes great confusion...
Posted by chlop on 05/03/09 at 07:39 AMI betcha one night I'm gonna be wearing this shirt while drunk and see the spider on my chest and go nuts.
Posted by cromulent on 05/07/09 at 05:41 PMMeh had to change my shipping address for the order: my apartment burned down :(
Will be hanging out in Florida until the end of May, then headed back to New York to move into my new apartment June 1st.
Any idea when you guys were planning on shipping the shirts?
Posted by PimpToxie on 05/10/09 at 12:32 PMI hate to sound like an old man here, but nowadays all the t-shirts I buy need to have a pocket in them to carry my iTouch as I listen to the show.
So, if you produce a shirt with a pocket (perhaps/even a regular iFanboy t-shirt), I'll buy it, and wear it frequently. (And that's some advertising for you!)
A Bruce Banner lab coat with "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry" on it? I don't know.
Posted by chlop on 05/18/09 at 08:52 PMYou know, since I am an old man who needs a pocket in his t-shirt, maybe you can make for people like me a t-shirt saying, "You kids stop making all that noise, I'm trying to read my comicbooks!"
Posted by powerdad on 05/20/09 at 03:18 PMOr "comics isn't just for kids. Just look at that shirt pocket!" or a "I'm a comicbook artist, and I need room for my brushes".
Posted by chlop on 05/20/09 at 05:11 PMI was trying to think of one which worked with "Get off my lawn!", but nothing really came to mind.
Or many more of a Dana Carvey Grumpy Old Man kind of thing like, "When I was a kid comics weighed 100 pounds each, and we had to walk through 15 feet of snow for 10 miles up hill to buy them, AND WE LOVED IT!"
Posted by powerdad on 05/20/09 at 05:27 PM
I think I might by both the red and blue shirts but cut some holes in the red one and wear the blue one underneath so it looks like Spider-man's costume.
Posted by cromulent on 05/22/09 at 01:50 PMIn case you missed these tweets, the shirts have now arrived - so the packages will be going out soon!
Posted by conor on 05/24/09 at 02:30 PMGot my shirt today!!! Aww yeah!
Posted by sillytothejoe on 06/10/09 at 07:51 PMJust got it, got it in blue, looks great!
Posted by Guardedmarman on 06/13/09 at 11:35 AMI got mine today!!!
Thanks guys!!!
Posted by DarthDuck on 06/15/09 at 10:18 PMI got my t-shirt and members stuff on the same day!! I was like oh shit, this is t'ight! Or should I say oh shirt, this is tight?
Posted by cromulent on 06/17/09 at 12:45 PM@cromulent - A Geekscape reference?
Posted by chlop on 06/17/09 at 03:08 PMJust got my shirt in the mail today...awesome!
Posted by Brian on 06/24/09 at 12:38 AMGot mine in the mail a while back, just gave it to my brother (who is responsible for getting me into ifanboy) for his birthday. He says, "cool, thanks" :). I'm looking forward to the next tie-in you guys come up with.
Posted by ohcaroline on 06/29/09 at 03:53 PMGot one for my birthday, it looks awesome! Great job guys.
Posted by astoriajohnstons on 07/09/09 at 02:08 AMAm I correct in thinking that these t-shirt you guys are putting out are to be in the category of comic-related clothing that is not obnoxiously comic-y?
If so, perhaps in future shirts you will refrain from having the iFanboy logo on the back. I totally love this website and all of your various audio and video shows, but "Fanboy" just isn't a word I want to wear around.
That said, brilliant design on the front.
Posted by samoflange on 07/14/09 at 11:41 AMIt's our logo, so... no we're not going to stop putting it on our products.
Posted by conor on 07/14/09 at 02:19 PMNew logo someday? Something like: (iF)
and with the same fun red font?
Posted by samoflange on 07/17/09 at 02:33 PMI am perfectly happy with the iFanboy logo being slapped on the back. It's advertising for a site I love that will (hopefully) drum up some additional readership who will (hopefully) buy memberships to increase the revenue for the site.
Did these ship? I'd like to have mine in time for Dragon*Con (September 3-7).
Posted by stuclach on 07/29/09 at 09:00 AMDid anyone else read Dark Reign: Young Avenger's issue 3 and catch the iFanboy shirt shoutout? Gotta love Paul Cornell.
Posted by Anson17 on 07/29/09 at 12:02 PMYeah... I get the feeling that the shirts will sell even faster now.
Posted by Mangaman on 07/29/09 at 10:37 PMi cant wait to get mine =)
Posted by rayclark on 08/05/09 at 09:12 AMI would love to get me one of each color, but there are no 3XL's.
Posted by ShaunR on 08/05/09 at 10:14 PMMy shirt arrived in the mail yesterday. I wore it to the theatre to see G.I. Joe. My wife really liked it (I have been told that red is my color). I also had a rather attractive young lady tell me she liked it (I believe clever was the word she used) and asked were I got it. She should be visiting the site in the near future.
Thank you for getting the shirt to me so quickly and thank you for designing a cool shirt.
Posted by stuclach on 08/08/09 at 07:39 PMThanks for telling us about your positive experience, and holding back the story when you're beaten to within an inch of your life by rabid DC fanboys.
Posted by josh on 08/08/09 at 07:44 PM@Josh - I was able to avoid said beating. Here's how: As they angrily charged me I quickly pointed out that the Marvel Zombies who designed the shirt foolishly flipped the axes and that I am wearing the shirt primarily to point out their lack of graphical acumen. They politely congratulated me and sent me on my way with a series of jovil high-fives. I then mentioned that they should visit iFanboy.com if they wished to purchase a shirt of their own. They quickly jotted down the address.
