February News Post

YESSSSS HELLO FEBRUARY, THE MONTH OF BLACK PANTHER.

Ahem.

Yes, so! February is upon us! It is soon Black Panther time! And also, soon time for our Valentines Mini Promptathon 2018! Are you excited? Are you ready and raring to go? The comm's been a little quiet recently, but perhaps you've been busy writing for Chocolate Box (

chocolateboxcomm ), whose reveals are on the 14th? (I know that's what I've been doing anyhoo). Related to this, I'm thinking of trying to revive the B_C tumblr account, so if anyone has any suggestions relating to that, I'd be happy to hear them.

All The Things Friday: If you'd like to sign up to host ATTF, make suggestions, or just see what's coming next then this is the post for you.

And from around the internet: The Superbowl gave is another teaser for Infinity War, though still no Clint. :( We've also got trailers for Jessica Jones season 2 and the first look at Brie Larson as Captain Marvel! We also got the 10 Years of the MCU photoshoot and character poster, which is quite something. Ten years! Who'da thunk it. In the comics world, the fun and fantastic Hawkeye comic by Kelly Thompson has, unfortunately, been cancelled, but on the other hand, we have also been given some A+ Clint and Kate interactions, so I guess it even's out? (Spoiler: it does not even out). No news if Hawkeye (either of them) or Black Widow will get their own solo run any time soon, but there is the Old Man Hawkeye limited series, which is... a thing, I guess.

Any challenge/events happening online? Got recs? Anything else relevant to our interests? Let us know in the comments!

~~omg I'm so excited for Black Panther guys~~

Only one more issue of Kelly Thompson's Hawkeye to go, and I'm so sad. Though I am happy that Clint's there with Kate helping closing out the run :)

There's also Tales of Suspense 100 & 101 out now that is all Clint and Bucky looking for Natasha and quite fun! I think it's supposed to be a 5 issue run a few more issues to go!

Yes there is! I considered mentioning it, but thought it would be a very slippery slope down into "all comics Hawkeye and/or Black Widow are in at the moment" and thought I'd just go with their own solo titles. But yeah, you're right.

And yesssss. I love the current Hawkeye run. So sad it's been cancelled. :(

To be honest, I wouldn't mind that slippery slope (not that you should have to go down it). I've been having a hard time figuring out all the comics they're in at the moment. It seems harder since the last changeup and now back to the old numbering system and new cancellations etc...so confusing.

franztastisch on February 9th, 2018 03:24 pm (UTC)

That's the other reason I didn't; because I don't know what they're in. And yeah, going back to the new numbering system has made it very difficult to keep up. I didn't realise they'd done it and thought Hulk had been cancelled after issue #9 only to find out about three weeks ago that it got re-named She-Hulk and continued with issue #159. And it's being cancelled anyway after issue #164 anyway.

Marvel do make it very hard to love them.

It would be nice if the tumblr either linked to major posts like this or to ATTFs? I have peeps on there who would come over here if they knew on the regular what was going on, but who don't have a DW or LJ so they don't visit.

(And I will re-iterate my dismay at STILL not finishing the Cinderalla prompt from two years ago. WHIMPER. ::whispers:: and it still keeps growing so no end in sight... )

Yeah I was thinking of doing that, but there's also the matter or reblogging those kinds of posts so people see them (i.e. through various time zones) so they don't get lost. And that's kinda... a pain to have to do. I want to see if I can queue reblogs like that but... well, I don't have the logins yet. So. But I'm going to try and set it up in such a way that things can get submitted to it and that there's a reasonable flow of Clint/&Natasha graphics and gifs and art and stuff. But that also depends on how much time I have and how much effort I want to dedicate to it. Running a sideblog is not my favourite things to do. I hardly manage to run my own tumblr.

(It just means we have something to look forward to!)

I always link to be_compromised exchanges and promptathons in my tumblr (reaching only my pitiful number of followers, but at times actually luring someone new in). So worthwhile to do!

Well, I'm going to try and keep on top of crossposting to the comm tumblr now, so feel free to reblog that post. :)

Hiya all!

We also got whispers for a Black Widow movie, as reported by Variety in January (with the script penned by a female writer, no less)! The Guardian has already started speculating on possible plots.

I also do look forward to Black Panther. It opens in the theaters next Thursday here...

Oh man yeah! I totally forgot about that! Though I guess that might be because I'm still not convinced it will happen. But yes, you are quite correct. :D

oh man, I hope so. That stupid Red Sparrow movie (or whatever its called) annoys me every time I see something about it because it's SUPPOSED TO BE BLACK WIDOW. GIVE ME BLACK WIDOW!

Mostly it annoys me because it looks boring as hell.

Mostly it annoys me because I don't like the actress - which I totally accept is not her fault, so eh.

And she doesn't look like a femme fatale. She looks like a pouty little girl. SJ as Black Widow in a real movie? WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER.

good thing I don't know anything about "red sparrow"? But I'm all here for a BW movie, and so apparently is Scarlett J!

Here's the short synopsis. Can it be any more of a rip-off?

Prima ballerina Dominika Egorova faces a bleak and uncertain future after she suffers an injury that ends her career. She soon turns to Sparrow School, a secret intelligence service that trains exceptional young people to use their minds and bodies as weapons.

Good lord. That borders on copyright infringement.
