Good fannish news...

I haven't been paying enough attention. I discovered several things today that quite thrilled me.

1. Agent Coulson is going to be in the S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series - played by Gregg Clark. Didn't I say he was alive, hmm? And so he should be. I was fearing that Whedon's S.H.I.E.L.D. would be nothing but a comic romp, divorced from the movies, or the darker reality of the comics. Now I am much less afraid. I'd rather see Coulson in the show than Nick Fury, actually, though it would be great if Fury makes at least an appearance, and Maria Hill as well. Don't ask much, do I?
   
   
2. Seems that The Wasp will be in Iron Man 3 , which suits me fine. Played by Stephanie Szostak. This in to Janet Van Dyne's recent reappearance in the comic. Yup, I'm happy with this one - in both cases. I love it that both movies and books are using strong female superheroes, and not compromising on their powers.
   
   
3. Hawkeye #4 comes out next week. I can hardly wait.

I somehow missed that the Wasp is going to be in Iron Man 3! That's awesome! They must be setting up for the Ant-Man movie. ;)

Did you also hear that Ming-Na Wen's also been cast in SHIELD? It's shaping up to look really good! :D

S.H.I.E.L.D.

I'm afraid to get my hopes up too much for S.H.I.E.L.D. because there is so much room for disappointment, but... but every bit of news seems better than the last. And the movies have been good, most of them. So very exciting!

Love your icon.

Do you think weepingnaiad would mind if I used it?

I should think not, I've seen others using it. :)

If you had been in the Nightingale household on the day Clark Gregg announced he was going to be in the SHIELD series..... let's just say there was multiple "OMG DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS"es going on every time someone new entered the room/house. It was pretty awesome.
