Hello and welcome to the weekly
cap_ironman/
cap_ironman newsletter.
First off all: Thank you all for
reaffirming our modly mandate for another year. We really appreciate what a great comm you are.
Tonnes of news this week. I'll get the movie stuff out of the way first.
Over at comicbookmovies, here's a concept art picture out for
Iron Man 3 and comment from RDJ about the themes therein. Rumours about casting and timing for
Avengers 2 are also
starting to circulate.
Marvel main universe (616) is doing something that's neither a relaunch nor a reboot, but is more of a general reshuffling of teams and creators in the wake of
AxV. We're assured that nothing will ever be the same again. There's been a lot of news about it in the past week, but
Newsarama and
CBR have round ups for you. What do you think? I'm hoping my few remaining titles don't get sucked in, but looking forward to some of the new stuff too.
Couple of round ups of older comics. Newsarama has
10 Best Captain America Stories, which I mostly agree with, though I would have included the brief Roger Stern one where they all go to England to fight vampires and the 9/11 issues that started off Volume Four. Marvel.com has the latest part in it's
round up of early Iron Man comicsWho else is looking at this
new Hot Toys Cap and making grabby hands? I know I am!
Finally, San Diego Comicon is coming up next weekend. Who's going. We (and by "we" I mean "not me") should arrange a meet up!
Here's a run down of Marvel panels.
