Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 12 August 2012

[garrideb.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the cap_ironman/cap_ironman newsletter! In movie news, Joss Whedon will direct the Avengers sequel and is working on a Marvel-based TV show. He'll also be contributing creatively to all of Marvel's upcoming films. Elsewhere, Marvel studios may try to negotiate with Fox studios for use of Galactus and Silver Surfer, in return for extending Fox's ownership of Daredevil. Or maybe not. Trading comics characters like baseball players… good idea? Terrible idea? Any trades you'd love to see?

Sixteen year-old Jillian Kirby, granddaughter of Marvel legend Jack Kirby (co-creator of Cap and Iron Man and many, many more) is running Kirby4Heroes in conjunction with the Hero Initiative, which helps comic book creators in times of financial or medical distress.

Talk about anything on or off-topic in the comments here. Just keep it reasonably safe for work.
