Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 20 August 2012

[muccamukk]

Hello and welcome to the weekly cap_ironman/cap_ironman newsletter.

Reminder: Cap/Iron Man Big Bang drafts and summaries are due 31 August. See c_im_bigbang for details.

I would also like to thank each and everyone of you for being so great about using the mandatory header elements and/or the suggested header. You make modding a joy.

Marvel Solicits for November are out, including the new Cap and IM titles, and a new team of Avengers Assemble (which has both). If you're wondering why half of them have NOW! in the copy, check out CBR's rundown on Marvel Now! (the totally not in anyway a relaunch that the company's doing this fall).

In movie news, Avengers 2 has a release day. start your calendar countdowns for 1 May 2015.



Stand alone films are casting women for things, which is always nice to see. Over here, Rebecca Hall says a bit about her turn as Maya Hansen in IM3, and there's some casting speculation here for who's to be the leading lady in Cap 2.

Finally, Marvel.com's up to Part Nine of its complete history of Iron Man.

Anyone else here sign up for avengersfest? I hate waiting for assignments to go out. It makes me so nervous. Only five more days.

So how does everyone feel about new writers for Cap and Iron Man? I was personally kind of hot and cold on Brubaker's Cap but I generally have bad taste and I only started reading back on issue 9 so maybe I'm just terrible. But yeah, new writers good y/n? Also the AvX event is apparently wrapping up soon which I personally cannot frickin' wait for.

I don't know anyone else who reads the comics that I can talk about it with which is why I tried to start a discussion here... OTL

I didn't sign up for avengersfest but I did sign up for the big bang and I'm dyin' ha ha! Almost dropped out at least 3 times.

I haven't said it recently, but it should be said: THANK YOU for the wonderful job you do! These weekly round-ups are much appreciated and make me feel very informed.
