Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 17 October 2010

Hello and welcome to the weekly [livejournal.com profile] cap_ironman/[community profile] cap_ironman newsletter.

As noted in comments of the last newsletter, a few Cap and IM announcements came out of NYCC last week. Two new minis for Steve: Astonishing Captain America by Andy Diggle and Adi Granov in July 2011, and Ultimate Captain America with Jason Aaron and Ron Garney in February 2011. If you're into the X-Books, James Asmus is writing a three-part annual crossover between Steve Rogers: Super Soldier, Namor: The First Mutant and Uncanny X-Men

Also, Invincible Iron Man is renumbering as of January, and Matt Fraction mentioned some details about what will be in Iron Man #500.

Only Steve or Tony comic out this week is the final issue of Ed Brubaker's Steve Rogers: Super Soldier. Preview for that here.


[livejournal.com profile] jazzypom wrote two short fics on LJ and on DW.
[livejournal.com profile] manic_intent wrote four new parts of The Tower of Yesterday 6-7 and 8-9

[livejournal.com profile] cat_13145 was looking for and found a fic.
[livejournal.com profile] fictivore posted a discussion question about the Execute Program arc.
[livejournal.com profile] fancy_galloway is looking for fic recs for Steve/Tony that isn't on this comm or in the comm archive.


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 fifty 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, [livejournal.com profile] garrideb and [livejournal.com profile] 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. :)

So Iron Man is going back to 500

[identity profile] jazzypom.livejournal.com 2010-10-18 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
and Larroca and Chaykin are doing pencils? Ick. The story for issue 500 sounds interesting, but not that interesting.

Re: Larroca.

I am so tired of Tony looking like Sawyer from Lost. (And Pepper = Nicole Kidman, for that matter.)

THIS. I'm still in the early 1980s in my timeline-driven read-through, and current Tony looks like crap in his own book. Avengers draws him better, and that's... saying something. -.o

The photorealism, especially when clearly based on someone famous, just throws me out of it. I'll take any Tony over that Tony. (I do enjoy me some Extremis Tony though.)

*nod* Exactly. I posted up pics of Tony, Steve, Noir!Tony, Pre-SSS!Steve, and "Noir"!Steve, and the one for Tony... ew. Just ew.

And... can't argue with you over Extremis!Tony. :D

Ah, sorry. My "cast list" for my reverse bang. It's on my LJ from yesterday... here. For comparison, mainly.

I didn't really want to go digging through *mumble* issues of Iron Man, so I settled for the first fairly decent recent picture of Tony. And I still don't like it. (The pic of him smirking at Noh Varr from Avengers #2? Awesome. IIM in general? *sigh*)

I just realized, IIM Tony has brown eyes. I suppose they did it to match RDJ, but with so much character history, that just seems silly.

Yep. It's one of the things that bugs me about the artwork, actually.

[identity profile] fictivore.livejournal.com 2010-10-18 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Umm... What is the significance of #500 title, btw? And how does that numbering work?

Also, is it just me or is anyone else a bit... wary of what Resilient's 'shocking twist' is going to be? Though Tony interacting with Peter without knowing his identity sounds interesting... And Howard Stark seems to be quite popular what with the Brotherhood of SHIELD and now a new mini...

[identity profile] fictivore.livejournal.com 2010-10-18 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh thank you for such an awesome explanation! Eh. sounds weird logic though... I thought maybe the change in number was going to mean some event or new continuity or something... Especially since there was also something about 'a future'... With 70 year old Tony... and Tony's son... and grand-daughter... DDD:

(Personally, I've always been convinced that the only reason Tony has avoided a paternity suit even after years of carousing is cause after the first such scare back in college-days, he had a 'little something' done to his tubes... His lawyers were very happy)

Hmm... Though hasn't the Avengers' ongoing time-travel adventure shown that Tony's gonna be a spritely and active 100+ year old Iron Man?

And I totally agree about Maria Stark! More about her would be awesome... (Maybe, something will inspire you to write that fic? *hopeful*) Would be especially interesting since Howard has been almost exclusively set up an a massive asshole... But also quite competent (Also an agent in a morally dubious organisation as a partner to Agent Nathaniel Richards, btw o.O)... So would be really really hot to see a Maria able to be an under-handed with him... Though hopefully she was somewhat nice... Tony deserves atleast one parent who gave a shit about him...

Oh my gods! I had no knowledge of that thing but I just searched it on wiki... And those are the kids Tony is leading in the Avengers' time travel adventure!! Plus the villain has already been implied to be Ultron! Is it going to be based on the Next Avengers then?! Wow... *running off to see*

[identity profile] heworedecadence.livejournal.com 2010-10-18 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, this week Carnage #1 comes out and that whole book is an Iron Man/Spider-Man team up. Tony is on the preview pages.

It looks pretty good.

The comm has been kind of...empty lately.

Oh yeah, the bang. I forgot about it XD.

*dies laughing* Now I have this little scene in my head: "But... but... Tony, you said it was SAFE! How could this HAPPEN??" followed by Tony trying to logically explain and hide his inner freak-out from his overprotective partner.

That's about as far as I could go with it - mpreg is fairly squicky for me. Although if anyone wants that little bunny, it's definitely looking for a good home. :)

I have a couple outlines. One is Ults, and exists mostly for people to shout at each other and for Tony to make bad jokes. One is a far-future IN SPACE where Steve is old-fashioned and will have none of these artificial mechanical wombs, and insists on growing a uterus and gestating a child the old-fashioned way.

I need to be reading this like right now.

Oh, Steve. So traditional.

Tony is deeply affronted that Steve doesn't trust modern technology. That's like not trusting Tony. He's convinced internal gestation is some quackery out of the dark ages, like cupping and crystal therapy.

[identity profile] ewanspotter.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
I don't even want to *think* about Steve's feelings on breast feeding.

Fraction doesn't read back canon, so he may not know who Bethany is. So the mother is likely someone from Fraction's canon? I would read Maria and Tony's baby-having hijinks. I mean, assuming Fraction wasn't writing it and Larocca wasn't drawing it. Oh, no then.
