Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 26 February 2012

[garrideb.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the cap_ironman/cap_ironman newsletter. If you didn't sign up to be an author or artist for the Reverse Big Bang, perhaps you'd like to volunteer as a beta.

Marvel has posted highlights from Toy Fair New York. There's also a video that gets a closer look at the Avengers Legos.

This news is a bit old, but I still find it amusing: Marvel is releasing official Avengers colognes. "Everyone has a favorite comic book hero, right? Now fans can experience what they love about these iconic characters in a much more personal way," said Andrew Levine, Chief Executive Officer of JADS. There's also a Black Widow perfume for women and apparently the Loki scent is unisex. The description of the Thor scent just doesn't sound right to me, though.

Speaking of Thor, Mad Norwegian Press is publishing a book called Chicks Dig Comics, which I'm very much looking forward to (especially the essays that feature Steve or Tony). The book will be out on April 10th, and launched at C2E2 (Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo).

Speaking of C2E2, would there be any interest of a Cap_Ironman meet-up?

Finally, please, please, please take a look at our posting rules before posting. We've got a mandatory header for fanworks! Got questions? Read the post or ask a mod!

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. 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.
