Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 10 July 2011

[garrideb]

Welcome to the cap_ironman/cap_ironman newsletter. For those of you who celebrated Cap's birthday, I hope you've all recovered.

Marvel has posted an interview with Captain America co-creator Joe Simon, who talks about his excitement for the movie and his new memoir Joe Simon: My Life in Comics. How-To Geek has a collection of Marvel wallpapers, including a Cap one near the bottom (I think the Storm one is my fav, though). And for our members who are fans of Iron Man: Armored Adventures, here are five stills from the second season, which airs this Wednesday on NickToons.

As always, any discussion - on-topic or off-topic - is welcome in the newsletter comments!

I finish my bigbang rough draft! Right now I'm happy.

I'm planning a Ult. Steve/Tony fic and this time I hope I can outline properly. I see the snowflake method, the index card method and the others.

What about you all? Do you outline? If so, how do you do it?

[tsukinofaerii]

I'm fond of the timeline method (start at the beginning and move along until you reach the end), along with many many rambling notes in the margins/on napkins/in random text files/shouted to myself in public. I tend to know my start and my end, so it's the squishy center that I try to focus on.

Mwahaha and here I was just looking for wallpaper. :D I agree, the Storm one is the best, but the Cap and Ms. Marvel ones aren't far behind, and there's a link to some pretty spiffy movie!Tony.

The less said about my bang progress the better. (blows bangs out of eyes) Considering that this is exactly what happened with its predecessor, I suppose that's a good sign.

Who else is revved up for the last Potter?

[muccamukk]

I can't get over the Steve's shield. It looks like it'd going to hit in him the face every time he turns around. Storm's a little bit lighter than she could be, but I've seen worse. I like how muscled she is and hey, pants! I keep thinking Sue Storm is flipping me off.

I really ought to catch up on The Adventures of Teen Tony and the Roller Armour.

Second.

That shield just looks like it's sitting way too high in that image. Also the way it's drawn, Steve looks like he's got a snake stuffed down where his abs should be? Hm.
I like the three-part gatefold image though, pretty art. And look at She-Hulk being all buff and awesome!
