Yeah I mean the Alex Ross one I have seen praised before because it makes Kara (who is Power Woman in Kingdom Come, I think?) look strong and confident and intimidating, as much of a superhuman powerhouse as anyone else. So mocking it seems a little dumb, I guess? Like, surely Hawkeye in the same pose is Hawkeye standing there with his arms folded looking tough as hell?

Let's see, Hawkeye has dated or otherwise been involved with: Wasp, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, Mockingbird, Moonstone, Spider-Woman... Am I missing anybody?
Slott's She-Hulk series was pretty much a comic book about comic books
sometimes it worked and was hilarious
other times it was up its' own ass so far that no light could be found

I did not like the comic being used as legal documents thing, and then the whole thing about trades being bad until it actually saves a comic fans life.
He thinks She Hulk has a thing for him, but I don't think they were ever together
She's even banged Juggernaut
Hawkeye must be devastated
I love the "mission accomplished" guy, because the panel makes it look like he had a devious plan to spread rumors about She-Hulk around until she got annoyed.

Mainstream Comics Journalism is kind of a joke, as 3-4 stars(or their equivalent) is the default rating for books instead of reserving them for ones that are actually, y'know, good. And the whole "These websites are basically in Marvel and DC's pockets."
So, with that said, Newsarama reviewed the first issue of Thunderbolts.
It got fucking 2/10.
Good god.

I'm actually quite depresses by this. Not that I was expecting more from this team, but because this is just a nail in the coffin for the Thunderbolts concept.

Newsarama is going with a number scale now? Interesting.
And with that all of Newsarama's links to review copies magically disappear until they learn their lesson.

What? No it isn't.
The Thunderbolts concept is doing just fine over in Dark Avengers.
Way's Thunderbolts have nothing to do with Villains-as-Superheroes. Rulk and Venom are Avengers, Deadpool is a SHIELD Agent. Elektra and Frank are the only two that might qualify as villains.
Yeah, Red Hulk, Venom and even Deadpool are all pretty heroic these days
You don't need to persuade Flash or Ross to not go out killing and robbing people, especially Flash who is a pretty upstanding guy, if one who is regularly shat on from a great height
The biggest problem with this issue is that it just doesn't give any reason for this team to exist. There is no threat, no looming problem, no adventure in the offing. Thunderbolts #1 travels from scene to scene, breathlessly and weightlessly recruiting characters who seem awfully nonchalant while mowing down waves of generic thugs. Somehow, "Thunderbolt" Ross (get it???) manages to find everyone from Elektra to Venom in mid-rampage, and carry on a conversation in the midst of gunfire and melee. It strains credibility, and Steve Dillon's stiff, clinical art does no favors and adds no charm to the characters or the scenes. Dillon has done great work on similar titles in the past, including an extensive run on the Punisher, but here, he's the equivalent of cheap CGI, shedding too much light on material that ought to be swathed in shadow, under a thin layer of grime. This should be the secret underbelly of the Marvel universe, the place where guys like Captain America or Spider-Man must never tread, but instead it feels like a sitcom about murderers.

It's more showing that you don't mess with the incredibly simple Thunderbolts recipe. Hitmen and Fight Club, really?
Thunderbolts being a villain-as-superheroes book when Dark Avengers is doing that already would be kind of silly
I am 100% fine with Ross leading a Black Ops team including Venom and Punisher and even Elektra. Deadpool doesn't really belong there as Ross wouldn't put up with his bullshit like Logan did.
but Daniel Way writing it and Steve Dillon drawing it?

It's not a terribly well-written review. He enjoy the Ross and Castle dynamic, but he won't say why, and he somehow avoids giving a clear idea of what happens in the book except for the fact that it involves recruitment. Way isn't the best writer in the world, but I doubt that he actually forgot to add a plot to the story.
I do think that this is just the THunderbolts name without the concept, though.

the crotch thing was hilarious though
HEAD CANON
Ass
I have a friend who goes on Tumblr all the time and thinks Hawkeye is basically Jeremy Renner, who does act like that.
So
there you go
But if they took the new comic and made a TV show like that, I would watch it every day
She's even banged Juggernaut
Hawkeye must be devastated
What is the real story behind the Juggernaut thing, I must know
then Dan Slott, writer of She-Hulk's latest solo book, had a running gag in her book of people constantly bringing it up and Jen constantly denying it
sometimes it worked and was hilarious
other times it was up its' own ass so far that no light could be found
I love comic books.

that wasn't the intent of the panel?
not that it makes it any less funny

Way and Dillon not pulling out their usual high qual-ohahahahaa I'm sorry I can't finish that

You are absolutely correct otherwise.
