MA:A 27 scans! just a taste of the awesome

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

Behind the cut is a small taste of the awesome in Marvel Adventures: Avengers #27. Only nine panels, because otherwise I don't think I'd know where to stop. *g*


The guys responsible for the spam calls are the villains of the plot. But really, I share this one for Cap's "And...other stuff." :-D


Basketball! Is it strange of me to find Tony's underarm hair hot in this pic? Because I do. I totally do. Also, the way Steve's shirt is riding up. Yum. There's three pages of the basketball, too. Mmmmmmmm.



*chortles*


*chortles more*


Steve looks so much like a little kid here, it's adorable. He just wanted to get the distractions taken care of so that he could go for a burger with his boyfriend buddy!

I suck at making icons, but I so have to make the attempt for this issue. :-D

Comments

!!!! thank you SO MUCH for sharing these, this is totally awesome and now I need this issue. I can't decide whether my favourite part is the boys' expressions while they're playing basketball, or "is fancy dan kidding? *SLAM*" or "honestly, I think my name gives it away" :3 HEEHEEHEE

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Although rune has totally outdone me since, but I'm a completist, so I shall answer all my comments anyway. *g* This issue totally must be owned.

I can't choose a favorite part either, but the fact that Steve, who is normally so polite and respectful and modest actually let go enough to mock Fancy Dan tickled me pink. *g*

[demon-faith.livejournal.com]

Oh, fantastic!

I love how they're getting hot and sweaty together, and then Steve tries to make a burger date! Love it!

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

I think I reread the hot and sweaty parts about six times before I even got to the rest of the issue. The grins! The touching! The sweatdrops! *dies of love*

[gokuma.livejournal.com]

Awwww <3 Thank you! *hugs*

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

Rune's totally out done me now, but I'm glad you enjoyed! :-)

[johanirae.livejournal.com]

ZOMG, somebody professionally drew a PG slash fic! XD (Man, this is like my dream come true...)

Regular canon sucks, I'm investigating into MA canon now XD

LOL First thing that I thought when I saw the basketball scene was a certain fic you wrote a while back ;-)

[mechanicaljewel.livejournal.com]

Regular canon sucks, I'm investigating into MA canon now XD

Agreed!

[cygna-hime.livejournal.com]

*squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!*

Socute! Sofunny! Sowonderful! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Oh, right, maturity. I am a mature individual. Really. *coughs*

This is definitely the true canon. Because true canon is where Tony and Steve get hot and sweaty together and then go out to eat together. ♥

"Fancy Dan strikes!" "Is Fancy Dan kidding?" <-I cannot stop giggling.

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

Oh, right, maturity. I am a mature individual. Really. *coughs*

Pshaw, maturity is overrated. *g* Besides, one should react like a kid when reading comics for kids, right? *bg*

This is definitely the true canon. Because true canon is where Tony and Steve get hot and sweaty together and then go out to eat together. ♥

*nods firmly* Absolutely. That other canon is just a terrible, terrible dream.

"Fancy Dan strikes!" "Is Fancy Dan kidding?" <-I cannot stop giggling.

Poor Fancy Dan. :-D How he thought he could challenge Captain America I will never know! And I love that Cap lets go of his ego enough here to mock. :-D

[sdroid.livejournal.com]

Amazingly awesome. I need to hunt this one down

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

I hope you manage to find it! I've been hearing that it's sold out in a lot of place.

[jynx.livejournal.com]

Do you know where I can get torrents of these?! Cuz I think I want to be an absolute geek and do so! :D

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

I don't know where to find torrents, but drop me an e-mail (take the spaces out of this addy: keparker @ shaw . ca) and I can hook you up with another site that might help!

[runenklinge.livejournal.com]

Look at my new post here: I see your panels and raise you up a few scans...and my attempts at icon^^(yay for copy+paste+re-size)

Have you looked closely at the scale-mail? It´s strangely...beautiful
That was a beautiful story^^

Who names himself "Fancy Dan" voluntarily?

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

You just couldn't resist one upping me, could you. :-P *g*

Have you looked closely at the scale-mail? It´s strangely...beautiful

It is! I love the art in Marvel Adventures. It's very much to my taste in art. A lot of the art in 616 titles...isn't.

Who names himself "Fancy Dan" voluntarily?

Who names themselves any of the villain names, in particular, voluntarily? *g* I mean, the Wasp and Ant-Man had a foe named "The Human Top" once. O.o

[jwaneeta.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I must own this today, even if I have to drag across town to Robber Baron's Overpriced Comics Emporium, a place I avoid on priciple. :D

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

even if I have to drag across town to Robber Baron's Overpriced Comics Emporium

*laughs at the name* That's awesome. *grins* I hope you got a hold of the issue! Apparently it's been selling out.

[axolotl-lan.livejournal.com]

Ooh pretties!~ Happy for Rune's scans though. I got to my store and it was SOLD OUT- they NEVER sell out of MA verse comics in the first week... anywho without the scans I wouldn't have seen it I suppose...

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

:-( for not being able to get the issues, but :-D for it selling out. I've been hearing that it sold out in a lot of places. Strong sales are the best way to show Marvel what we like in our comics. :-) :-)

[macx-larabee.livejournal.com]

"I made you take your armor off." --> More blatant the hint cannot be... *veg*

Geez, Marvel! We get it! :P

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

Sometimes Marvel makes me rethink my attempts to remind myself that the official writers aren't actually shipping them. *g*

[freakydarling.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness. I just bought this because of you. So CUTE. Iron Man happy! What a concept!

How has the rest of this series been for them? I've never read it

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness. I just bought this because of you. So CUTE. Iron Man happy! What a concept!

Yay! *grins* I totally want this issue to sell scarily well. It's the closest to saying to Marvel, "Hey! This is what we like!" *g*

Tony so totally deserves to be happy more often. Steve makes him happy. The solution is clear. *g*

How has the rest of this series been for them? I've never read it

Issues 1-19 are pretty good for Steve/Tony moments, although not so concentrated; they're usually interacting with the rest of the team, too. Issues 20-26 were pretty bare of interaction, though. I was pouting a lot. Which only made #27 more awesome. It was like they were trying to make up for the lack all at once. :-D

But even when Steve and Tony aren't interacting, Marvel Adventures is just fun in general.

[gestalt1.livejournal.com]

I... totally have to buy this now...

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

Do! It deserves to be owned. *g*

[toranoko.livejournal.com]

No~~~ I couldn't resist looking.

Not that I regret it. Thanks for posting these lovely moments. They should tide me over until my shipment comes in. :D

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

Hee! I can't blame you; my own spoiler resistance is weak. Especially when there is reason for squee.

Also, your icon is made of win!

[helva2260.livejournal.com]

I think I adore this! Is this going to come out in a trade paperback at some point? I'm not terribly used to comic schedules, and as far as neatness goes, it would fit better in my bookcase as a paperback rather than the more easily crumpled version...

...Also, what timeline are they working on? Is this an alternate universe in which the Civil War didn't happen, or is it a very long flashback story, or what? (When you first posted, I assumed it was an old issue that you'd just got around to reading, until I read some of the other comments and realised it was new *g*)

[sollie7.livejournal.com]

Marvel Adventures is the 'kids' line of Marvel that somehow seems to consistently be better-written and more entertaining than regular Marvel. Light on the continuity, there are only a few differences that hold it apart from 616-verse, mostly oriented about the Avengers Lineup and Giant-Girl (the Wasp, retooled into a younger woman--late teens, I think? She meshes with Spidey pretty well).

It's basically like What If: Marvel Comics Were Fun?

[juniper200.livejournal.com]

*melts*

I'm going to work "Is Fancy Dan kidding?" into conversation every day from now on. Somehow.

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

*grins* I love that Steve actually said that. He's normally very polite about these things, but the man does have an ego. *g*

[bradygirl_12]

Oh, yeah! That last panel is definitely icon-worthy! :)

[bradygirl_12]

P.S. The dialogue doesn't even need to be changed! ;)

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

*g* I love it when that happens with canon. Like this icon, from another issue of MA:A. *chortles*

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

::flails with joy::

and i thank you for sharing this :D :D :D

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I must share the joy. Even if rune totally one ups my scans later. *g*

[morgulq.livejournal.com]

Dude, that first one with the two randoms doing a 'WTF? *stare*' killed me.

And then I realised that they were walking down the street in broad daylight IN COSTUME bitching about spam. *sniggers*

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

Dude, that first one with the two randoms doing a 'WTF? *stare*' killed me.

I totally didn't notice them until the third or fourth time through, but once I did, they totally made the panel! *g*

And then I realised that they were walking down the street in broad daylight IN COSTUME bitching about spam. *sniggers*

You have to wonder what the ordinary folks think sometimes! "I'm sure it must be code for...something..." *g*

[maybemabel.livejournal.com]

When I was reading this, my first thought was, "Are... are they on a date?"

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

A guy version of a date, but they so could be. I love how resentful they are of the spammers interrupting their alone time. *chortles*

[elspethdixon.livejournal.com]

I think my favorite moment in the whole thing is Steve's "Is fancy Dan kidding?" (OMG, his expression) followed by holding up his shield and letting Fancy Dan wham into it -- it's such a perfect Tales of Suspense!Steve moment (ah, cheerful bastard Steve of volume 1 and volume 3, how awesome you were and how I miss you).

I agree with johanirae - the entire second half of the issue is basically a PG-rated slash fic (kind of like Casualties of War, but happy).

Hopefully, the fact that it seems to be selling out will clue Marvel into the fact that fans want more comics where Steve & Tony go on dates (or at leastare together and happy).

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

You know, I don't think I've ever encountered cheeful bastard Steve. *g* He's always presented as a bit of a boy scout to me. But if this is an example, I like him!

Hopefully, the fact that it seems to be selling out will clue Marvel into the fact that fans want more comics where Steve & Tony go on dates (or at leastare together and happy).

We can hope! *crosses fingers* I'm so tempted to buy a second copy of the issue. Partly to reinforce those sales figures (hey, every little bit helps!) and partly so that I have a copy to cut up into pieces so that I can tack them up in strategic places around work in order to defuse work-induced-homicidal-rage. *g*

[just-reed.livejournal.com]

*le squee*

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

I love sharing the squee. :-)

[pensive]

my name gives it away... HAHAH oh TONY

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

*grins* Well, it was a silly question!
