Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 30 July 2012

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

News we've all been waiting for: Who will be writing Invincible Iron Man after Matt Fraction leaves. There's good news and bad news, on this point. The good news: Kieron Gillen on script. The Bad: Greg Land on pencils. LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND! In other Marvel Now! news (anyone else feel like doing that Middleman "!!!!!" thing every time they say "Marvel Now!"?): concept art for the Captain America redesign. Hockey pads! Excellent. Cap's title will be written by Rick Remender with pencils by John Romita Jr, incidentally.

I don't know if anyone's reading Ults, but if you're thinking about it, Steve's back on the team this arc, so it might be a good time to try. Marvel.com has a list of Ult Cap highlights. I'm with them until they hit Jason Aaron's Ultimate Comics Captain America. Under no circumstances read that comic!

Apparently ABC is looking at making some kind of show set in the same universe as The Avengers, but probably not having Steve and Tony :(. I guess CE and RDJ would be kind of pricey for weekly television. Still, could be interesting if it pans out (which thus far live action Marvel TV has yet to do).

Two random Iron Man things: MoneySupermarket.com has worked out the cost of being Iron Man (spoiler alert: a lot!). Also, Hot Toys has made Iron Man Mark VII.
