Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 13 November 2011

Hey, it’s time for the cap_ironman/cap_ironman newsletter again! Secret Santa sign-ups may be over, but if you missed the sign-up or wanted to participate without obligation, you can check out the list of free-for-all prompts. Fill a prompt and send it in, and it will be posted as part of the Secret Santa exchange.

For fans of the Ultimate line, starting in 2012 all Ultimate issues will be sold with a free digital copy for iOS and Android. I’m curious, does anyone here reads comics on those devices? Here’s an interesting article about Marvel’s partnership with Barnes & Noble NOOK and how Marvel and DC may drive down readership by forcing fans to choose between NOOK and Kindle.

It’s a little early for Christmas, but Marvel has a preview for a one-shot where Disney’s Prep and Landing elves get the Avengers mansion ready for Santa, which involves getting trapped in bits of Tony’s armor and sledding on Cap’s shield, apparently. There’s also a preview of Captain America #6, where Cap is getting his ass kicked by Bartoc.

And finally, Iron Man 3 is looking for extras for their shoot in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Feel free to post any recs, interesting news items, or just chat with your fellow fans in the comment section to the newsletter!

If you're looking for a particular story, why not try cap_im_finders? If you have any questions, you can comment here or PM a mod, that's me, muccamukk, or valtyr.

Good to know, thanks! That panel-to-panel and bubble-to-bubble format is good - that's how it's set up to read digital comics on their site, too. I've tried reading digital comics without that format and all the scrolling and zooming really makes it not worth it to me.
