Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 12 February 2012

[muccamukk]

Hello and welcome to the weekly cap_ironman/cap_ironman newsletter.

A few comm-related reminders:
1. If you signed up to create art for the Cap/Iron Man Reverse Bang, your drafts are due one week from today. I've already received some gorgeous art, and look forward to more in the near future.
2. This comm has a Spamming Policy in place to keep one user from flooding out the rest. I hope everyone will familiarise themselves with it.
3. Valentine's Day is coming up. Anyone what to have a themed prompt fest? Other ideas?

Slowish week from comics news (especially if you're pretending AvX doesn't exist). Bendis, Bagley & Brevoort did another interview about Avengers Assemble. If Steve Rogers beat up and tied to a chair is your thing (and I don't see why it wouldn't be), do take a look at this preview for Avengers #22.

Otherwise it's all be merchandising, merchandising and more merchandising. There's a rather nice Harley Davidson desktop image of the movie team, some Halloween costumes that are less totally horrible than Marvel's past efforts in this area (and Natasha actually gets one!), and odd little glowy signs things. If you're looking for a laugh, do check out Chris Sims write up of this year's superhero Valentine Cards.

If you're interested in the ship, you may want to read the Ship Manifesto, and consult the list of Slashy Moments (Now at one hundred and fifty moments).

Psst, you have a bad link: Art, tripperfunster's One Night at the Mansion, you

[muccamukk]

Funny how if you don't put the whole address in, links don't work.

Thanks for pointing that out.

(and I don't see why it wouldn't be)

*sporfle* I just wanted to say that you guys are the best. This is an amazing comm and I so appreciate everything you do for it!

[muccamukk]

Seriously, who doesn't have that kink?

Thank you so much! It really helps that 99.9% of the time, all the comm members are completely wonderful.
