April/May News Post  
Hello all! I come bearing The News. :P

Obviously first, the big one: Infinity War came out this April. Currently the comm as a whole is a spoiler free zone but if you want to discuss/squee/cry, please go to our dedicated post.

If you'd like to host or suggest ideas for an All The Things Friday we'd love to hear from you, head this way.

In the wider world: We've got another trailer for Ant Man and the Wasp which looks exactly as lighthearted and ridiculous as I was hoping for. AND two separate trailers for Deadpool 2 which looks EXCELLENT in my opinion, as well as Celine Dion doing the main music with a video which is honestly everything I hoped for. The Black Widow film is definitely maybe happening, and there's also something to do with a Venom film? But I wasn't really paying attention. In other news though, apparently five of the original six Avengers (so, minus Ruffalo) have got matching tattoos, which is just kinda really cute.

In comics, we got the conclusion to the Tales of Suspense Winter Soldier, Hawkeye and Black Widow story which was... well, I loved the banter, less the actual plot. And my god the art was ugly, but hey, that's just my opinion. Kelly Thompson's Hawkeye also concluded (boo!), though it was nominated for an Eisner (yay!) and the last issue implied Kate would be returning in August (double yay!). Also, Old Man Hawkeye continues to be a thing.

Have I missed anything? Let me know! (Though also be aware that I am one of a handful of people who hasn't seen IW yet. My brain is being so nice to me right now guys. :/ )

I am too! My biggest problem with Marvel lately is getting my kid to understand that IW and Deadpool are not for him and sorry, but no, I am not letting you see them. He's SO disappointed!

I gave that IW advice to a friend/colleague whose kid is on the squeamish side, No, no, no, nope. Not be seeing that one ....

I remember showing Jurassic Park for family movie night and my then-12-year-old kidlet storming out during the ripped-off arm scene, shouting "What kind of parent are you, thinking this was an appropriate movie for me to watch??"

Now, that same kidlet has gone to see IW with me twice, and is drooling at the idea of Deadpool. They do get older!

Don't I know it! This week the kid walked to school 100% on his own and I WAS NOT READY. I AM STILL NOT READY. (I know that's not MCU related, but... I have strong feelings on this growing up thing.) But he got really upset at GOTG2 for things, so I worry that IW will upset him way too much.

Haha me too! I love that it doesn't take itself seriously.

I haven't seen Hawkeye/Winter Soldier #5 yet. A colleague sticks them in the mail for me from Ottawa, so it'll be a while. Send me an e-mail and spoil me ...?
