Hey, it’s time for the
cap_ironman/

list of free-for-all prompts. Fill a prompt and send it in, and it will be posted as part of the Secret Santa exchange.
For fans of the Ultimate line, starting in 2012
all Ultimate issues will be sold with a free digital copy for iOS and Android. I’m curious, does anyone here reads comics on those devices? Here’s an interesting article about
Marvel’s partnership with Barnes & Noble NOOK and how Marvel and DC may drive down readership by forcing fans to choose between NOOK and Kindle.
It’s a little early for Christmas, but Marvel has a
preview for a one-shot where Disney’s
Prep and Landing elves get the Avengers mansion ready for Santa, which involves getting trapped in bits of Tony’s armor and sledding on Cap’s shield, apparently. There’s also a preview of
Captain America #6, where Cap is getting his ass kicked by Bartoc.
And finally,
Iron Man 3 is looking for extras for their shoot in Wilmington, North Carolina.
