My local comic shop's potluck revealed something cool about fans

Last weekend, my comic book club had a potluck at the local shop (we do this every few months). I decided to make these little pizza rolls inspired by Deadpool, because, you know, he loves chimichangas but I wanted something easier. I used store-bought dough and filled it with pepperoni and cheese, then cut them into little X's like his logo. Everyone went nuts for them, and it started a whole conversation about other character-themed foods we could try. One guy brought Batman cookies with little bat symbols, which was pretty clever. It's funny how food can bring fans together and spark these creative ideas. Now I'm thinking about making a Hulk-themed green dip for the next meetup. Stuff like this really makes the fandom feel more like a community, you know?

Did you read about that superhero themed pop-up restaurant in the city last year? They had a menu with items like "Flash fries" served in a red basket and "Professor Xavier's wheel-free chips" which was just nachos. Your Deadpool rolls sound better than my attempt at making Spider-web deviled eggs. They looked vaguely suspicious. It's neat how this kind of stuff turns a shared interest into an actual shared meal.

My buddy tried making Hulk smoothies that turned this weird grey color, the whole thing felt vaguely threatening. Still beats eating alone though.

What exactly goes into a Hulk smoothie anyway?
