Okay, there is exactly one guy named Perez in comics who gets to be known solely by his last name, and Ramon ain't him.

It would have been crazy awesome if it was Sorrentino but I like this.

Hawkeye cover looks like a scary child scarecrow.

Ugh. No way. Sorrentino's a great artist but Ramon Perez is just one of the most dynamic cartoonists in the biz.

I'm expecting good stuff. I haven't read Green Arrow, but I'm partway through his runs on JLD and Animal Man, and I love both. And, Frankenstein is waiting on my shelf.

I like Perez, just saying if the last Green Arrow team moved over to Hawkeye it would have been... interesting.

I haven't read Green Arrow but I hope Lemire's Hawkeye lives up to the hype. It's gonna be hard to top Fraction.
To be fair to DC, the Green Lantern books should be entwined. I mean GL/GLC is common sense, Red Lanterns and Sinestro are about their enemies who they keep an eye on, and New Guardians... well, everyone thinks Kyle is dead but even so.

Eh, couldn't hurt. I can't remember the last time one great Big Two run that revitalized a character was immediately followed up by one on the same level but different (Mark Waid to Geoff Johns Flash?), but it could be pretty good. At least it'll look good.
And if its not, you got the complete story in Omnibus form come April

I think the point is to not try to match it and go for something very different.
And damn...I was so busy I missed the damn comic convenion in my city (Lodz, Poland) and Perez actually was at it
First time I've missed it on a long long timeOh thank goodness
If Marvel let Hawkeye go they would be leaving money on the table. People want more Hawkguy.
That shit ain't ever getting any clearer. This is Nocenti town baby.

The murky story and confusion is not a writer's texhnique, but inability.
New Batgirl was fun. I have never read one of those Batgirl comics before either. Babs Tarr is pretty good.
Birthright from Skyybound/Image was kinda meh. Sabrina was much more fun to read than the preview let on. Wytched was ok but not as balls to the wall amazing that i expected from the preview a few months ago.
Masterplasty is rediculous and good, i guess im gonna have to hang it on the wall.

I think the only creative team that could get me legitimately excited for Hawkeye after Fraction/Aja/Wu/Hollingsworth etc would be like...Morrison/Quitely/Grant or some shit.
Like Axel Alonso came down and was like, "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Grant Morrison!" and he showed up in a puff of smoke. In a really thick Scottish accent, "Yah aye got some reaaaally crazy ideas for hawkaye naow, me and Crris burnham said FUCK that horror book we're never doing, he's rotating arcs with Quitely. The book never comes out on time anyway, so we're gonna cape to that spirit"

Finished JMS' Thor. People will probably think this is heresy, but I liked JMS' Thor more than Simonson's run. It was just stellar.
It all came together perfectly in the end. In Simonson's run, Loki was more of secondary character and never felt he was done justice, but here he was the perfect villain. Oh and I have to mention that Iron Man face-off in the beginning... Incredible. The only downside of this book is that it some stuff is left hanging, but I'll have to check out the Gillen stuff for that.
Simonson got me into the Thor universe and mythology, but JMS is what really made me love it. The art also played a big part of course. Can't recommend this run enough.
I loved the slow buildup to the return of Asgard, together with Loki's deliberate scheming. Very smart how he combined this big scheme with some great flashbacks.

Is this good news for me Cheska?
He's been off for a while. Marc Guggenheim was filling in for him.
SWEET MOTHER OF CHRIST, BOUGHT.
EDIT: Mortal Kombat X and Telltale's The Wolf Among Us are also getting digital comics.
Ok I'm in, I love Lemire's work and Perez is indeed a great artist. They'll be doing their own thing, but I'm sure some Fraction story beats will continue.
NotTheGuyYouKill- You'll want to pick this up too, it's not Brian Wood, thank god.

Speaking of wood, anyone read the massive ?
Marvel are nailing it. They must have gotten my emails.
Fairly certain Elektra is canned and yes Thor counts.

In for Mortal Kombat. Guy with electric weapons seems to be a new character, HYPE!
What about the star of the book, Shogo?
Jeez. I understand that you have to make sure the crew don't make any comments about their personal beliefs or anything bad about the company, but he seems way too worried about Bleeding Cool.
I dunno, I'm still not a fan of the guy and his pals Joe and Tom. I hope for a change in senior executives soon, get a female senior editor in there.
Didn't like his Green Arrow? Ah well, it's not for everyone. I'll pick up the first issue of the new Hawkeye and see how it is.
That looks like Raiden to me.
