Hello and welcome to the weekly
cap_ironman/
cap_ironman newsletter.
The film is out in many countries now (I've seen it twice!), but still not world wide, so we will be continuing our policy of nuking uncut spoilers. Thank you all for being so good about that so far. This comm is a dream to mod when everyone's so well behaved, and we appreciate it.
If anyone has comments or feedback about how we could make the comm a more welcoming and easier to use place, we'd be glad to hear about it. We don't know there's a problem unless someone lets us know. Please just drop the mod team a PM, or leave a comment here or on the rules post.
Unsurprisingly,
The Avengers is doing well.
Marvel.com says it's made over 600 million dollar so far, and has broken domestic box office records in the US. Go Avengers! Now that that's out, we're looking at going back to solo movies for a bit, and
Comicbook Movies has speculation and cast comments on how that will work given there's now a team. No spoilers.
Newsarama has a nicely detailed history of Cap's costume, and if you scroll do the bottom, you can find links to the same for Iron Man, and a bunch of movie resources showing the links between the film franchise and comics, including more than a few little details that I didn't pick up on.
Comics Should Be Good has a
special edition of Comic Book Legends Revealed about the Avengers, which includes weird Scarlet Witch plots from the '80s, hilarous animated Avengers theme tunes, and how the comicbook code changed Steve's origin story.
And it's looking like a good week for our boys in comics. Coming Wednesday is
Avengers Assemble #3,
Captain America #10,
Captain America and...Hawkeye #630, and
Hulk Smash Avengers #2.
( A Million Links! )Finally, if you're a new or recent member, hello and welcome! Our rules are
here, and in the
profile; this includes our header and warnings policies, so please read. If you're interested in the ship, you may want to read the
Ship Manifesto, and consult the list of
Slashy Moments (Now at one hundred and eighty moments). If you're confused by the whole universe thing, check out the
multiverse info post. If you're planning to write for the comm, there are some tips on writing the pairing
here, and the Avengers in general
here; if you're having trouble finding a beta, or would like to offer your services as a beta, our beta list is
here. If you're looking for the comm archive, it's
Tales of Suspense, and it's automated - you can create an account and upload your fic. If you're looking for a particular story, why not try
cap_im_finders? If you have any questions, you can comment here or PM a mod, that's me,
garrideb and
valtyr.
And feel free to post on-topic or off-topic stuff in the comments to this post! Just keep it reasonably safe for work, please.
