When I got married (the first time… ahem), we received endless items from Crate and Barrel. And don’t get me wrong, it’s all very useful stuff, but… well… plain. Boring. So color me surprised to see that C&B’s younger, hipper sibling, CB2, has spawned a trio of comic book plates that make my heart sing.

Actually, they make my heart go *BIF* *BAM* *KAPOW*. But why split hairs?

These are real porcelain dishes — not plastic or melamine — which means they’re dishwasher- and microwave-safe. The smaller appetizer size means they’re perfect for transitioning slightly older kids to real dinnerware without being a total yawn. In fact, your kids might even think you’re cool. –Mir
