I am really loving Lemire and Perez's All-New Hawkeye. Lemire is basically taking the structural device he used in Trillium and applying it to this smaller scale emotional memory-scape. Perez is killing it on the art, it almost feels like there are 2 artists on the book.

The writing is hacky as all hell, but, yeah, the art is killing it.

And I disagree that the writing is hacky-- not saying it's super groundbreaking or anything, but the way the two stories in issue #4 were laid out alone demonstrates a level of effort above hackery.

You have some weird narrative pareidolia. And the guy who shows up in LA isn't Jim Rockford, he's super blatantly Elliott Gould playing Philip Marlowe in The Long Goodbye down to the cat. Which was also weird because Harold H. Harold is an established Marvel character who looked like but predated Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters and was a pulp novelist and a loving vampire but whatever.

For reference: Harold H. Harold v1 from Tomb of Dracula  Philip Marlowe in The Long Goodbye  Harold H. Harold v2 from Hawkeye  Jim Rockford  Though I only realized this just now: Harold H. Harold appears in these four panels in Stern/Leihola's Dr. Strange when they write all vampires out of existence, years after he disappeared along with Tomb of Dracula:  And when they do a flashback in Hawkeye 18:  This is baffling half-attention to detail, in terms of remembering he switched hair color for 2 1/2 panels but not the chronology of his hair color or anything else about the character? EDIT 1: You know someone tried to snort HHH's ashes in that disco. EDIT 2: I'm half convinced the conversion of HHH in those four panels from curly haired brunette to stylin' redhead is some sort of meta-making GBS threads on someone who got a sitcom deal? No idea who that would be though. Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Jul 26, 2015 |

That said, Lemire's dialogue has always felt wooden to me.

Huh interesting I got an email from Marvel linking some Secret Wars titles to their new counterparts. I'm interested in how they transfer over. How does Loki become Contest of Champions?! Am I misunderstanding the email?quote:Secret Wars has now reached its midway point, and the Marvel Universe as we've known it has finally come to an end! However, some great new series are spinning out of the events of Secret Wars! If you're subscribed to one of the following series below, and it's sadly coming to an end, Marvel has your back with these new subscriptions! Some of these include Invincible Iron Man from Brian Michael Bendis, Spider-Man 2099 from Peter David, Extraordinary X-Men from Jeff Lemire, and more! Also, it's never to late to start a new subscription, and these new series are the perfect jumping on points!

No "morality is gray, she's complicated" bullshit, Natasha is the worst and her being an Avenger much less one of Marvel's premier female super heroes pisses me off now.

Being in the movies means she's gotten a lot of that level of exposure though, and that'll especially be the case if she ever gets a movie of her own. She needs to die. Wolverine needs to kill her. If Cap and Tony found out about this they'd stop fighting immediately to go beat her up and put her in jail forever.

WickedHate posted:Nope. I haven't read the issue yet and I'm now ... sort of concerned to do so, haha. Edmondson's handling of Nat has been way less out-and-out weird than his Punisher run, but it still feels kind of shaky and uncomfortable at times. Noto's art is beautiful enough that I've been rolling with it, but I do remember feeling really weird with how and when she killed the only black person in the entire comic. Aphrodite posted:She's not really. In the movies sure, the comic Widow is a background character. I dunno, I think if you asked most random people on the street to name a female Marvel character she'd be right at the top of the list. Followed by like ... Storm, probably. Scarlet Witch since she was in a movie. Maybe some of the other X ladies. I'm not sure if people would even think of Captain Marvel. But I think there is at least an outside perception that she's kind of a flagship lady.

That's what I mean. It's all from the movies, and any time she's used prominently by Marvel it's MCU Widow. The 616 Widow hasn't gotten anything out of it. She's already barely an Avenger.

It had a lot of promise early on but very quickly the plot starts to drag on and on, and the character beats become extremely superficial. I dropped it at issue 16, and have no plans of going after the last few.
