Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 9 July 2012

[muccamukk]

Hello and welcome to the weekly cap_ironman/cap_ironman newsletter.

First off all: Thank you all for reaffirming our modly mandate for another year. We really appreciate what a great comm you are.

Tonnes of news this week. I'll get the movie stuff out of the way first. Over at comicbookmovies, here's a concept art picture out for Iron Man 3 and comment from RDJ about the themes therein. Rumours about casting and timing for Avengers 2 are also starting to circulate.

Marvel main universe (616) is doing something that's neither a relaunch nor a reboot, but is more of a general reshuffling of teams and creators in the wake of AxV. We're assured that nothing will ever be the same again. There's been a lot of news about it in the past week, but Newsarama and CBR have round ups for you. What do you think? I'm hoping my few remaining titles don't get sucked in, but looking forward to some of the new stuff too.

Couple of round ups of older comics. Newsarama has 10 Best Captain America Stories, which I mostly agree with, though I would have included the brief Roger Stern one where they all go to England to fight vampires and the 9/11 issues that started off Volume Four. Marvel.com has the latest part in it's round up of early Iron Man comics

Who else is looking at this new Hot Toys Cap and making grabby hands? I know I am!

Finally, San Diego Comicon is coming up next weekend. Who's going. We (and by "we" I mean "not me") should arrange a meet up! Here's a run down of Marvel panels.

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 eighty 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'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, garrideb and 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.

hrmm No Ironman with Cap and Thor. :( Of course I'm not current with the current storylines at all. So, I don't know what's going on.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen Iron Man in any Marvel Now! stuff. I wonder if it really is Tony's turn to die.

No, wait. There is a picture of black Iron Man(ish) armour floating around somewhere. Still, it'll be interesting.

[salmastryon.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't black Iron Man(ish) armor be War Machine?

But you are right no Iron Man in other stuff either. (To be fair though, I've not seen a whole lot of it.)

[muccamukk]

I really have no idea, and the November Solicits aren't making it any clearer. -shrugs-

I guess we'll find out over the weekend with the sdcc stuff.

Can I just say, as being a newbie to this fandom (though not to Marvel), this community makes me happy. You all run a tight ship and it's just nice (and less stressful) as a fan to have everything so organized. It's so easy to find things and I'm just impressed. So just wanted to give the mods a shout of love :)

[petrichor-fizz.livejournal.com]

Seconded!

[garrideb.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That's lovely to hear ♥

[muccamukk]

Seconded!

[salmastryon.livejournal.com]

I definitely agree with this and you make people feel so welcome.

I will be at comic con, and I would love to meet up with anyone from the fandom! I was trying to find some of the people that went last year, but it doesn't seem like as many superhusbands fans are there this year :(

:( if you want to make your own meet up post, you're welcome to. Not everyone reads the newsletter comments.
