calling this shit now
I JUST ACCIDENTLY LOST A HUGE EDIT
OH MY GOD
That would be a good twist.
LOOK AT WHAT I DID FOR YOU
I actually really don't think so
read the solicit for the July issue of Avengers:Initiative
3DS: 1607-3034-6970
clint it's good to see you pick up the ol' bow again
I totally squealed when I saw him grab the bow and arrow.
Choose Your Own Chat 1 Choose Your Own Chat 2 Choose Your Own Chat 3
cheesecake aside, I actually really dig that cover, all the pins she has are really cool/funny
She got left behind in hell or something.

Also, I'm a sucker for "we're outnumbered and they've got incredible powers backing them. Let's wreck some shit." stories.
"VOTE STARK! HE SAVED US FROM THE SKRULLS!"
yeah whoops
but still, I really hope he just trys to take over earth
kind of
Also I enjoyed Clint finally wrecking shit with a bow, It's time for him to be Hawkeye again.
He was trying to get everyone else to leave, though, which wouldn't necessarily suggest Skrullocity, right? Unless it was a ploy to allow the newly landed Skrulls some time to disperse...
And sadly the fact that Cage was not only the one who opened the ship last issue but threw the first punch in this issue leads me to believe that he is probably a Skrull.
But maybe that doesn't really matter.
Or Cage was replaced afterwards maybe.
