Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 19 September 2010

[valtyr]

Hi all!

This is the first newsletter crossposted to both cap_ironman and cap_ironman, collecting posts made to both comms. If you want to comment in the DW comm with your LJ account, you can use Open ID.

There's a new Avengers Kink Meme at, oddly enough, avengers_kink. Go make Steve/Tony prompts! There's already a few Steve/Tony fills there.

In comics news, there's a couple of What Ifs coming out that might interest you; What If Tony Stark Were Dr Doom, and What If Osborn Won The Siege of Asgard (I'm pretty sure the answer to both is Tony would angst.) There's a Secret Avengers preview, which I adore for the variant cover of Steve playing rock-paper-scissors with Doom. I have no real clue what's happening in Ultimates these days, but this preview shows that Ult Steve has a set of workout clothes in the same design as his costume, which is so dorky I cannot cope. (I guess that's continuity, though, as in Ultimate Six Fury was wearing a Cap-print basketball vest.)

It's pretty awkward art, isn't it? And Steve is so pink. Oh, but you remember Pacheho, who did the first Ult Avengers arc? The Red Skull one? He and Hickman will be writing a new Ultimate Thor series. :DDD

Ideally, I would like to see Wolvie raising both Daken and X-23! As I think they would have an adorable brother and sister dynamic.

EEEEEEE. I love his art! Steve comes out looking so damned lickable. ♥

They would! And Wolverine doesn't have to be a bad father. He does care, he's just kind of gruff. Look how well he does with the younger X-girls.
