Well, I think Saga is better but this is definitely up there among the best ongoings. The art alone is worth checking out since it's so much better than the average you'll find in the big two.

Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
Also, since when is mildly advocating vegetarianism after a fight through a slaughterhouse "preachy bullshit"?
Lisa The Vegetarian is preachy bullshit now?
Whatever, it had a good rhythm.
i almost took you seriously
Bro, I wish Hawkeye all the best with his red-head endeavors, bro. Because it's about time someone hooked up with a red-head and it didn't end in Gods and demons and cosmic phoenixes tearing them apart, bro.
That said, I though Spider-Woman was with Luke Cage?
Good grief, is Sue and Reed the only marriage in Marvel that LASTS?
Also I really love his narration (bad russian accent).

Hawkeye #3: 10 out of 10; "the personality of a Marvel comic but the attitude and feel of an indie." (Newsarama)
Hawkeye #3: 5 Stars; "not a single misstep in this book." (Comic Book Resources)
Hawkeye #3: READ; "a virtually flawless comic book." (Comic Book Resources)
Seriously, that last one was the most astonishing of all because Hannibal hates almost everything from what I've seen of his column. For him to not only praise Hawkeye but to call it "flawless"... I nearly had a heart attack when I read that.

Batgirl only had like a page at the end dealing with Joker, the rest was wrapping up the arc that started in issue 10 or 11.

Long, boring, loooooooong.
Northstar got married recently, didn't he? Marvel posted that hugemassive troll album where Peter's marriage was a blank photo.
Writing is good early on but gets pretty mediocre towards the end. Art is consistently bad.
Do you like alternate history?

Fantastic. Heavy on espionage and super outwitting. Also, really grounded in character, as Fraction brings a lot of his publicly discussed experiences with recovery to the proceedings. Stark's relationship with alcohol has never been as personally and poignantly examined any of his comics, to my mind. 500.1 especially is a landmark issue when it comes to bringing real and personal art to superhero comics.
If you want a good Iron Man comic get Knauf brothers run.

I love the old costume but I say, just keep an open mind when reading it. Everything will make sense on why the series is as it is right now, promise. Also, you'll get your wish for the old costume in issue #3, but not in the way you think.
We need to get our terminology right, so let me extend a branch by proposing the following.
"comics" is for things like whatever guys like Nick Spencer or Scott Lobdell are doing.
"COMICS" is for big dumb things like Avengers Vs. X-Men
"Comics" is for things like Fraction on Hawkeye
"Comics in their purest form" is Building Stories
We need to get our shit together. LET'S WORK ON THAT.

Any of you bubs read Memorial? And are we allowed to talk about DC Comics in here?
I gave up on talking about DC stuff in here, unless it's Batman it just gets ignored.
3 issues in and hawkeye is leagues better than the court of owls nonsense

I love them both. No quality difference spotted.
Court of Owls could have been great as a backdrop/build-up, but throwing it all together in succession alongside that "twist" ending in issue 11ish...it felt rushed and cheap. Issue #5/6 were the highlights to that arc and what i take away from it, great issues. The cynic in me would think they rushed it because DC wanted to have a crossover theme event.
But DC can still be discussed here! They have good books and stuff. And...Pandora?

My ranking of the last few books I've been reading or caught up on:
Saga > Hawkeye >> Locke & Key >>>> Batman >>>>>>>>> Uncanny Avengers
Saga > Hawkeye >> Locke & Key >>>> Batman >>>>>>>>> Uncanny Avengers
This is a highly scientific scale, bro. Each ">" represents a gradient of 5% on your traditional 0-100% grading scale. Saga earns a perfect 100%, as it's the best comic book I've read since, wait for it, Y: The Last Man. Hawkeye is an incredible 95%, and so forth. I do not like the first issue of Uncanny Avengers.

Memorial better be good, I just spent eight bucks on it.
I just gotta say, the Justice League in Batman Beyond's time SUCKS. Like, Aside from Aang the Green Lantern, I wouldn't want ANY of them to be the Earth's hope. Well, maybe Aqua Girl. No, they all suck except the Green Lantern.
Also I can't decide if knowing that Terry and Dana's relationship is a foregone conclusion is a good thing or not in this case. It subtracts all the drama from it, but at the same time, the drama has literally not changed since the first episode.

a) It's Imperius Rex you dolt
b) Isn't New Avengers gonna be a bit of that, considering it's basically the Illuminati book? So fucking hype for Hickman dang son.
Well it's kind of a good thing though isn't it? I mean yea they'll fight, but then they just make up a few chapters later. It just means we don't have to deal with a stupid relationship drama thing that spans chapters and chapters.

I blame Google!
Who's drawing it?
I'm thinking more along an 80's buddy cop movie though.
Epting, and yeah it's a December/January book but holy shit Marvel has been super stingy with news about Hickman's Avengers, which is weird as heck considering it's their big movie franchise thing.
The solicits are out and they don't tell a whole lot either. Hickman must want to play this one really close to the vest.

Well isn't that a pisser.
Would anybody here be interested in taking my Saga run off my hands before I hit ebay with it?$15 shipped for issues 1-6.
We need a comic Buy, Sell, Trade thread up in here. I really don't want to deal with the rainbow of autistic disorders that comes with ebay and comic collectors. :\
So I finished Batman Beyond 011, and HOT DAMN THAT INQUE ISSUE. Freaking love Inque! She's by far the best member of his rogue's gallery. Even if her back story is Sniper Wolf minus Big Boss plus MUTAGEN.
Freakin' love Inque.
Guess I should probably fork down for the rest of Hawkeye, soon, so's I can be caught up on the awesome that it is.
