Welcome back to the cap_ironman / cap_ironman newsletter.

NEWS! **links contain spoilers**
Iron Man 3 is nearly upon us. For you lucky folks in first release wave, there will be a reaction/discussion post where you can go crazy with the spoilers. Any other spoilery material -- be it meta, fic, art, feels, whatever -- posted to the comm for the next couple weeks must be properly marked/tagged and cut.

In Cap 2 news, have some early set pictures. Think the new look holds up to the concept art?

Man, comics are a downer this week. The Winter Soldier solo title is confirmed to be canceled at 19 issues. Seems like bad timing with the movie and all, unless Marvel intends to re-launch the series as more of a tie in. (See the recent Secret Avengers.)

Age of Ultron #6 delivered a couple nasty little surprises. (One of which isn't discussed in that interview, but those who've read it know what I mean.)

Last week gave us the fantastic Deadpool #7, which re-visited Tony's Demon in a Bottle phase -- with the expected twist. Worth tracking down even if you've never read Deadpool.

And next week kicks off the Greg Land-free (well, almost -- he's still doing the covers) Secret Origin arc, starting in Iron Man #9.


FIC!

Some Comic help

[salmastryon.livejournal.com]

Last year, y'all gave me some great recommendations on TPB I should get with the amazon gift certificate I got for xmas. This year I'm get some money I can spend anywhere I want. So really I got two fold question I'd like your advice on.

First: Should I go to electronic comics?
I know I can acquire them at Marvel or Comixology. There may be other places I don't know about. I don't have a lot of space and if it is a decent option then I'd like to give it a try. I'll miss the paper, but electronic versions would be more likely to be reread than sit in the bottom of my closet in a box and plastic sleeves collection dust like my X-calibur and Elf Quest does. So, I was wondering what peoples opinions were on paper versus electronic and if I do go electronic who should I go with?

Second:What should I get?
I really enjoyed the Iron Man/Captain America tpb y'all suggested last time. And the Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes Ultimate Collection, gave me a good grounding on the teams overall history and beginnings. While I didn't have the money, Red Zone was suggested and sounded like a good one to get. If I do go electronic, I wouldn't be adverse to picking up one of the titles. At 4 dollars a pop(rounded up), more than one would be a bit steep for me. I need some money left over in my book budget for each month. :P

So suggestions on which collection/books I should perhaps pick up would be great. I'm still really hesitant to pick up and read the extreme angst fest that is the Civil War. Especially since, as I understand it, reading just the Civil War book leaves out a lot of the plot. I'm definitely thinking of grabbing Red Zone, lucre_noin did a good job on selling me on it earlier.

Psst, I don't know if I tagged this right. Let me know if there is a tag I should add or if misunderstood the tags I used.
