Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 30 October 2011
Hello and welcome to the weekly
cap_ironman/
cap_ironman newsletter, where we will answer such pressing questions as Tony Stark, Top or Bottom? Does Steve Rogers know how to dance? and Will LJ ever stop being broken?
Okay, I'm actually prepared to answer precisely none of those questions, but I do have quite a bit of news this week.
On a personal note, as of Tuesday I'm taking an assignment on the Island with Little or No Internet, and won't back until December. In the meantime, probably best to PM
garrideb or
valtyr for questions or concerns regarding the comm.
Most important of all: Secret Santa Sign-ups! They're open, check them out!
Ever poke around the Marvel movie site? There's very little actual information on it, but I did find this list of all movies set in the Marvel universe, or at least all movies they're willing to admit to. I see the '90s Cap movie isn't on there.
In terms of actual movie news, Iron Man 3 is in pre-production, and director Shane Black has a few tidbits regarding its themes and how it will tie in with Avengers. Captain America: The First Avenger is out on DVD and BlueRay, and has handily outsold everything else this week. Who's got it yet? Any outstanding special features?
IGN has an article speculating on the future of the Marvel film franchise and if it's leading to an event like Civil War. I would think Avengers 3 would be more likely, personally, but then they wouldn't have space to properly fix it, either. Hmmm... Dear Marvel Studios: Please don't kill Cap.
Oh, probably old news to most of you, but has any one seen the Sweded Avengers Trailer? I can't decide what I like most, Thor's wig or Natasha's.
Speaking of old news, Marvel solicits are out for January. I'm in Deep Dark Mourning over the cancellation of Iron Man 2.0, but it looks like there's some interesting stuff going on in Avengers in the coming months.
If you're reading Captain America and Bucky, you may want to check out Marvel.com's interview with new co-writer James Asmus, or take a look at the unlettered preview art for CA&B #624. More questions I'm not prepared to answer: Who is the mysterious narrator? What's up with Natasha's eye shadow?
Finally, some lovely work in progress/preview art from Daniel Acuña's upcoming run on Avengers. Why so grumpy, Steve?
Art!

Or the 70s Doctor Strange (yes, let that one sink in for a moment). And why... Why on earth... Would they make another Ghost Rider movie starring Nicolas Cage... *Tries to wrap head around this*
I'm in Deep Dark Mourning over the cancellation of Iron Man 2.0[...]
GODDAMNIT MARVEL THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.
This and the fact that you still let Matt Fraction write IIM.no subject
And that Larroca is still drawing itI mean whutno subject
Why is Larocca allowed to draw anything everReally. No matter how popular his run has been, isn't it time for a change of author now? Fraction's been writing IIM for a couple of years without contributing anything new and exciting (unless you count terrible mischaracterisation). Come on Marvel, at least make up for the fact that you keep cancelling all the good titles. D:no subject
It doesn't help that the coloring style they chose for it was a terrible, terrible decision. The two just do not work together. At all. Whoever approved it is blind.
As for Fraction... IM definitely isn't his best work. But Marvel loves him and he was writing Fear Itself, so I can see why he was kept on. Though, I really hope something changes soon. I hate the art more than I hate the writing however, if I'm really honest.
no subject
I don't hate Fraction's writing itself, really, I just don't like what he's been doing with the Iron Man title. The storylines feel recycled and uninspired, his characterisation is off, he forgets large chunks of canon (even that which he has established himself) and... Well. Amnesia plot device. >____> He's been around for a couple of years now and fine if Marvel wants to keep him, but let someone else play in the Iron Man sandbox?
no subject
(And don't even get me started on the random retcons, oh god.) I kind of view Tony's memory thing as a device to break him even further. He was pretty fucked before, so they just "reset" him to run him down the wringer once more. He's always had some hard story lines, but jesus christ these last few years. I feel Fraction's kind of limited to what Marvel wants due to all the events they've been shoving out too. It's hard to write an original story line (ala Extremis as the prime example) when you're having to match an event timeline and plot.
I kind of wonder, in both Larroca and Fraction's cases, if they're being overworked? It seems they're everywhere lately. I don't know.
I was reading that Larroca/Fraction were coming up on the longest running team for Iron Man, and all could say was "Figures." But it also makes me hope that they'll be switched out shortly, maybe in the next year or so.
no subject
In Larocca's case it's possible; his art at least seems to have got worse since the start of IIM. Don't know about Fraction. But yeah, I hope they'll bring in someone new very soon; what's with the movie coming up, it'd be unfortunate to be saddled with Fraction for the burst of commercial popularity the Avengers are bound to enjoy.
no subject
Larroca is so terrible, I can't even.no subject
I am sad about Iron Man 2.0. clings to X-23. Please don't cancel any more of my books.
I think I would give IIM another try if they would only change the artist.

If it's Steve/Tony relevant, it's always welcome here.
I don't know what he didn't like about it. I guess you'd have to track down other panel reports to see if he got into specifics.

I figure that there will probably be a special edition either before The Avengers or after its released as a full boxset.
no subject
And also that I have to wait an extra month for it to be released here because apparently I live in the Arctic, but that's neither here nor there...

I'm from the UK and I checked our release and its the same so I'm not losing anything by getting it imported. It's annoying though cos Iron Man had loads of extras and so did Iron Man two.
I feel like they are waiting to make us spend more money with Cap.
And what's tragic is that I actually would have no issue with buying it again if it had loads of extra features. CURSE MY GEEKERY.
no subject
Ah, the joys of living in a capitalist society. Nerds have spending hearts, sad but true.
no subject
And there's not a whole lot of the cast on the special features.
Yeah, I am such a film nerd, it's my big expense. And I don't even watch most of them. God, its such a waste of my money.
no subject
I am delighted by this post. And that sweded trailer looks AMAZING.
no subject
I love the sweded trailer. It's just so delightfully nerdy.
