For the big eight oh, Marvel released 8 different variant covers of other heroes wearing Cap inspired costumes. My favorites are Miles Morales and Natasha Romanoff - even if it is quite Russian though I already accepted my 1812 overlords in yesterday's post.

The United States of Captain America #1 came out and while I haven't read it yet, I know what my favorite page will be. It's this one. Sam is a great foil for Steve in a funk. And look at the way he's holding that donut box, that man is not sharing!

( How many <strike>Captain Americas</strike> Captains America does it take to screw in a lightbulb? )


I'm not a Beatles fan, so I have no idea how the originals went, but here is Jack Black being his best self and supporting charity:

Falcon and Winter Soldier starts this next week! I am equally excited and already cringing!
I just really want an episode title or two, dang it!

Do you need a rehash of Sam and Bucky's appearances in the MCU so far? This is the best one I've seen so far.

I also really liked this cover from Empire so I poked it for a while in GIMP to get rid of the logos, and tada!

new Captain America comic mini series!THE UNITED STATES OF CAPTAIN AMERICA will celebrate the character’s incredible legacy by bringing together various Captains America from throughout the years for a grand adventure to find Captain America’s missing shield and solve the mystery of his masked thief’s plan.

1. Falcon and Winter Soldier is getting an arc starting in February. I like the cover art and from what I could find of the artists other stuff, I'm in for a good time! I can't keep up with ongoing series or cross-over events or any of the other cool things comics is a great medium for, but I absolutely loved the 2018 Winter Solider mini run.


2. The dog's second attempt to spend a work day in the house also didn't go great. I made sure he couldn't get at the couch cushions, so I was a little afraid he'd go after the actual couch. Instead he murdered a box into itty bitty bits. It was one of the larger boxes the cat's litter comes in, so at least it wasn't a beloved box. (I have always had a box hoarding problem, and I was very disappointed when the cats won't play in them to give me an excuse to save more.)

2a. an unwanted mud bath as a response to him spending the day outside:


3. Who's idea was it to do NaNo anyway? I've got 18,287 words out of the 25,005 I should have at the end of today to be on track. I've finished three bingo squares, almost finished two more bingo squares, a flash fic, 2/3 (crosses fingers) of yuletide, and four scenes of the orig. The original work is not going well at all. I should have done more planning as I am still unsure of the antagonist or y'know why anything is happening to anyone.

4. I get to take my dad to the football game tomorrow, which I am super excited about but also means it's going to be a VERY long day when I also have to work 4-12. If it's slow and I think it should be, I'll probably leave a little early.

ETA 5. (I made a post!) Since "OK, Boomer." happened, for some reason GenX has decided to make sure everyone knows they still hate them equally and are enjoying this generational grudge match between millennials vs boomers, and a great many memes I've seen include Pearl Jam cds, and I as the extreme old millennial am honestly feeling very called out right now. I like Pearl Jam.

I'm watching Ricki and the Flash which was on my list from my Sebastian Stan days. Now I've got Bennie and the Jets stuck in my head, and listen, I am not an Elton John fan. Ug*.

dick_or_treat is weird. So, write smut titled after Pokémon move/attack during the month of April, add it to their collection, receive gym badges. I watched the very first series because my little brother was in that age group** and Detective Pikachu is an anticipated movie because I need Ryan Reynold's*** voice in my life. However, according to the linked list, we could have: Double Iron Bash (sounds painful for Tony), Let's Snuggle Forever (Dean's newest version of hell), or Venom Drench (is there anything kink left to explore in the Venom fandom?)

springfest prompt from the 20th to the 27th then write/post in April. I don't like having to claim something, cuz what if I suck and someone else also wanted to write it? And remembering appointments really isn't my jam right now****.

I enjoyed Captain Marvel so much more than I thought I would! It is fantastic and if Endgame ruins her the way Civil War ruined Cap for me I will mourn indefinitely*****.

Also, the first four issues of Winter Soldier 2018 by Kyle Higgins (Author), Rod Reis (Illustrator) are $1.99 each, and I loved them so much. The art is fantastic, the kitty is so white and fluffy, and Bucky is a sweetheart. sparklesquid has an excellent rec here with selected panels, though sadly no Tony.


*not looking forward to watching all the movies with the Rocketman trailer on them.
**still don't know why Meowth can talk, but clearly that Team Rocket was better than ^.
***coulda been Danny Devito though, and while I have feelings I don't know what they are.
****crossing my fingers on the third attempt to take the dog in for rabies shots tomorrow.
*****and of course be DISAPPOINTED!
