Part One of an MCU Fan's Introduction to Comics

[salmastryon.livejournal.com]

Part One: Format and the Avengers
Part Two: Captain America and Iron Man
Part Three: Black Widow and Hawkeye
Part Four: Hulk, Bruce Banner, Thor, Donald Blake and Loki

I want to first off clarify, that I myself am new to the comics and a lot of this information is stuff people have told me. Be sure to read the comments as well, I'm certain people will have their own opinions and suggestions. Also, I'm going to cover stuff in perhaps more detail than you are interested in. I'll put the explanations under spoiler cuts so you can skip them easily if you desire.

( Read on )

I will continue with Captain America, Iron Man, Events and other resources in further posts. Hopefully I'll have one up next week. I'll put links here at the bottom as I do them. Feel free to ask questions, if I can't answer them, I'm sure someone else in the com can. If I'm missing something, please share it in the comments.

Part Two: Captain America and Iron Man

Chat time

Weekly chat is on, from now-ish until we drop. :)

The details (as usual) are:
The #cap-im IRC channel is on dal.net. If you're using a regular client, the server is dal.net and the channel is #cap-im. Or you can use the web-based client here: http://www.dal.net/ On the right where it says "chat now", choose your nick and enter #cap-im as the channel. If you reach a prompt without joining the channel, type: /join #cap-im
