Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 26 September 2010

[muccamukk]

Hello and welcome to the weekly cap_ironman/c_im newsletter.

There's a fair bit happening in the world of comics this week. First of all, I'm sure you're very excited about Iron Man II hitting DVD and BlueRay this Tuesday. Bring on those special features!

Also this week, we have part three of Avengers Prime, you can check out the first few pages here. NSFW! (though sadly one has to buy the comic for the horse). CBR also put up an unlettered preview of Secret Avengers #6, if you're following that title.

Also, December solicits! I have an unreasonable love of solicits, which I shall now inflict upon you good people. Though if you want to just check out the Steve, Tony, Thor and Avengers titles, IGN has sifted them out.

Finally, Tony's canon cyberpunk AU (this, right here, this is why I love comics), Iron Man: The Rapture is starting in November. Check out CBR's interview with author Alexander Irving for plot hints and preview art. Looks like movie verse gone all creepy and awesome.

Finally, if you're a new or recent member, hello and welcome! Our rules are here, and in the profile; this includes our warnings policy, so please read. 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 forty-four moments). If you're planning to write for the comm, there are some tips on writing the pairing here, and the Avengers in general here; if you're having trouble finding a beta, or would like to offer your services as a beta, our beta list is here. If you're looking for the comm archive, it's Tales of Suspense, and it's automated - you can create an account and upload your fic. if you have any questions, you can comment here or PM a mod, that's me, garrideb and valtyr.

And feel free to post on-topic or off-topic stuff in the comments to this post! Just keep it reasonably safe for work, please. :)
