If I set up a dreamwidth comm for doing a read-through of Iron Man/Avengers/Captain America volume 3 (Kurt Busiek! Mark Waid! the Living Armor! Rumiko!), with discussion posts for each story arc and stuff, would anyone be interested in participating?
For movie-only people: this era of comics has modern-style art and dialogue, but pre-date’s the “giant mega-crossovers you have to read ten different titles a month to understand” era. And features very good Sharon characterization, lots of Clint, a good ‘introduction to Ultron’ storyline, and That One Time Tony’s Armor Came to Life and Fell in Love with Him.
And if you would be interested, any suggestions for comm names? (“screw Events, let’s read backcanon” sadly has too many characters)
Currently being considered:

I've read the Living Armor storyline, and a couple of others from that period, and they were all great fun.

Volume 3
Iron Man Volume 3, Avengers Volume 3, and Captain America Volume 3 can all be found on the Git Corp CDs. Unfortunately, the Git Corp CDs are themselves hard to find, since they've been out of print since around 2007. They show up on eBay sometimes.
The Marvel Wiki has a helpful list of the issues that comprise volume 3 of the titles:

Re: Volume 3
In parallel, or sequentially? Putting them in universe-timeline order would be nice, but it would be a challenge, since an event in one title would take place in the middle of events of another title. It's been a while since I've read them, and my memory is vague, but I sort of remember that the big Avengers Parade in NYC took place kind of in the middle of Tony's spa/assassination getaway.
