The second issue left me much less optimistic than the first did. I'll give it a couple more, because LeMire definitely seems like he's going somewhere thematically with this, but he's not great at banter (this issue definitely had the feel of "trying too hard" in a lot of the dialogue).

I find it a bit curious that "it's like Fraction's run" is being wielded as a criticism. Fraction's book is the only Hawkeye ongoing that has seen any kind of success; surely it makes sense to use the characterizations and dynamics that formed the core of that book if that success is to be...

Anybody else read this? I really dug it. A nice continuation that functions as something between Fraction's earlier stuff and a more traditional superhero book (ie Clint actually doing some Avenger-ing). I forgot how much I missed the Barton-Bishop stuff, and I'm really glad that Lemire's...

21 was good. So good. I'm totally getting the omnibus for this series. I was on the fence for a bit (I really don't like the LA stuff all that much), but if the finale is as good as the penultimate issue was, I'm on board. I'm such a sucker for a story that wraps up well. We don't get a lot of...

Yeeeeah, the fact that it's actually Peter has made me...well, not DROP the book, but certainly move to "other means" of acquisition. Peter coming back to life, the slowly-dwindling members of the Miles-original supporting cast, and the book's refusal to use any new villains is resulting in a...

Yeah, I also downloaded the first 8 issues of Nightwing (under the impression that it tied into the Court stuff) and Batgirl (which I'd heard was good), and the first three issues of both didn't exactly set my world on fire. I don't have any particular attachment to either of those characters...

I'm gonna bump this, because I just grabbed a bunch of New 52 Bat-family comics after Arkham Asylum made me wistful for Batman comics. I dropped Detective Comics pretty fast, but I remember really enjoying most of Snyder's Batman stuff (basically the first two-thirds of both the Court/Night of...

If it's keeping with the same "character" of Hawkguy, I'm totally on board. Could be cool, will definitely check it out.

I'd be really curious as to why, exactly. It is (or was) one of Marvel's best-selling titles, so surely there's some pressure to get the issues out on time. Is he writing a particularly enormous number of books these days? Did his priorities shift away from it completely, now that this is going...

FFS! I love you Hawkguy but why :(

Re: Miles Morales - The Ultimate Spider-Man Yeah, agreed completely. While Norman being alive is kind of par for the course now, the answers that the next issue will (hopefully) give regarding Peter are what I've been waiting for since he showed up. MJ seems to have taken him in, and...

Which is funny, because a good chunk of their Avengers one contained considerable stretches in its criticims. Not that Avengers is a perfect movie, just that a lot of the criticisms that they applied to it felt like they were either reaching beyond it or ignoring in-film backstory and...

I don't even think Venom is the worst villain in that movie. For being forced in, Raimi did a fairly good job of portraying him, especially if you can handle the cheese. I actually don't get why everyone rags so hard on the Venom stuff (is it the dancing?) New Goblin felt far more forced, and...

Maybe not outright shy, but he's always seemed pretty soft-spoken to me. I've always thought it to be one of his more distinct personality traits.

Well, except maybe for age. Let's face it - Donald Glover doesn't exactly sound like a shy teenager.

I'm okay with the point of the UU being both "modernization" and "doing something different". The worst/most boring Ultimate stuff is split pretty evenly between transplanting a character's story into the 21st century and change for the sake of change, as is the most interesting/successful...

The current arc would be so much more interesting without Norman. I am legitimately curious about Maybe-Peter. Norman's story was finished before Ultimatum happened.

*sigh* If only Japan would bother putting movies out on time... Holding out for ya, September.

The link won't work for me - is that the Figma? I have it too, and yeah, it's great! I kinda wish it came with a little Metroid, but it's nice otherwise and looks very cool on the shelf.

I can't afford it. I still might buy it. The pose is a little derpy for a figure that can't move at all (at least you can choose the pose for Hot Toys stuff), but the Light Suit is my favourite armour of hers and the 3-payment option makes it a bit more palatable. Hmm...
