August is almost over, so if you want to post something for Avenger month, hurry and sign up! September's theme will center around the genre of hurt/comfort! Read more about what that entails or sign up for a discussion post over here.

Most of the recent comic buzz is about Cap. Photos from the set of Captain America hit the web recently. You can read more about the photos here. Joss Whedon talked a bit about serving as a script-doctor for the script of Captain America. And Marvel posted a concise history of Cap's shield.

angel_inoshi looked for a fic, and found it. (Conjugate, by valtyr)

marinarusalka posted scans and history of the Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) as part of Avengers Month.

SPOILERY COMMENT BELOW












D: I see a stage in those photos! With bunting! Someone please lie to me reassure me that they won't do the USO thing?

Well... it could be a stage for other things...? Maybe Red Skull kidnaps some American celebrities sent over for troop morale, and Steve saves them? (Yeah, I'm stretching.)

Yeah! Exactly that! Giving us a chance to see some awesome 1940s styles in action! >_> Or maybe it's the stage where Cap is presented to the troops. Like an infomercial, except on stage.

Or, you know, some general's stirring speech. Or something.

All profits go to the Marvel Center for Making You Cry.

So that's where all my money has been going. Time to go cry more, I guess.
