In case you haven't heard, a little movie called Iron Man 3 is hitting theaters this week. This latest superhero sequel kicks off the next phase of Marvel Studios' ongoing plans and sees the Armored Avenger clash with Mandarin for the first time in live-action. It's definitely an exciting time to be an Iron Man fan.
But what about when the credits roll and you walk out of the theater? What are you supposed to do to tide yourself over until the next blockbuster Marvel movie?
