Hawkguy #3 was the best issue yet! High speed car chase, lots of trick arrows, tracksuit draculas! and this!
Ultimate Comics Iron Man #1 was a pretty all right "first" issue, lots of set-up with some small action pieces. Edmondson seems to have a good voice for Tony, so looking forward to what the rest is about. (too bad more than likely he's already foreshadowed that Tony's "high-school" sweet heart is probably the mandarin), Really love the panel usage for Tony armoring up on this page.
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #16 cool issue that was super full of action (especially for a Bendis book), nice to see it link up and show how Miles got to the Triskellion before Cap's speech. Laraz did a really good job of filling in for Marquez/Pichelli (Ponsor's colors made the transition almost seamless). Not sure how Hydra's appearance jives with Humphries' plans, but minor issue I suppose. I love how inexperienced Miles is and how he's still full of wonder at the superhero thing. Love him asking the ultimates for a cell phone, and Iron Man gives him a glove to use as a phone.

hawkeye totally killed the fuck out of those guys
Wolverine can't kill him because he's not fighting back, Cyclops says it's to be a martyr, but he's lying.
Uncanny X-Men #20, kind of a rushed ending in how Gillen ties all his stories up in a bow, but a reveal to spearhead Cyclops in the future:
Look, it's just my homage to RID #10. (I fixed them now)
Well played, Marvel.
:x
so besides Hawkeye my other MotW came from the FF story in Marvel NOW! Point One, also written by Fraction. I'm putting 4 pages in here, but the comic is double sized and also one of the pages was in a free previews comic so it isn't a big deal.
and then after 3 pages of fighting Doom's nanodroid security and hitching a ride inside Johnny Storm's mouth:
Are you kidding me this book
Justice League 13. That whole kiss scene that was supposed to be a huge deal... really fell flat in issue 12. In fact, I was angered by it. But issue 13 handles the aftermath.... surprisingly tastefully, in a way that actually made me look forward to seeing more Clark/Diana.
I can buy that.
But apparently Hawkeye is soooo good!
I don't want to like Hawkeye, I want to not add another title to my list!
Because the Hawkeye comic is so awesome he probably could do that.
(Also, he'd probably sleep with your wife/girlfriend/mom while he was at it. Because, Hawkeye.)
Maybe I'll stop by the LCS next paycheck.
Probably all of them at once.
...Hawkblocking
it would be just a weird coincidence if Gillen hadn't expressed his love for the song a bunch before
He also specifically mentioned it in a Q&A regarding a playlist for the book.
The aforementioned Hawkguy, USM, both AvX Consequences and UXM were super great.
Harbinger deserves a big mention, too. I don't have any scans and probably couldn't pare it down to one moment anyway. The whole book was really intense and everyone should be reading this.
Valiant is kicking butt.
According to wikipedia the literal meaning of Batallion is 300 to 1200 which does sound a bit silly but according to the same article A batallion is the smallest military unit capable of independent operation.
It seems reasonable to assume that with SHIELD being the organization it is and their forces being made up of small superhuman forces the name has mutated a bit. A SHIELD Battalion is smaller but an independent force.

When wikipedia says a battalion is the smallest unit that can operate independently they mean they can create, task, support and complete entire operations on their own without any logistical or combative support. Which you can when you have 800 or so guys kicking around. By contrast you're not going to have a platoon of guys out in the bush making their own missions and holding ground all on their own. They don't have the manpower to do it all.
Cap should have said at most Squadron of Hulkbusters. Especially since you don't mobilize a battalion of anything "and I mean now". It's just the wrong word since it's dealing with the sort of manning you use to secure and hold an entire city, not send to the roof.
EDIT: SHEILD could be argued as functioning as a battalion.
