    Started watching arrow after Brave & the Bold didn't really do it for me.

    That's a hell of a first scene.

    I'm guessing they'll get a different artist after Aja finishes this current arc.

    It's so fucking stupid. Hawkeye and Captain Marvel were either hits or drew in new readers, and they both got slapped upside the head with delays. It's like, those are two books you want to make sure are on shelves every month. :P

    hello, folks

    I'm your friendly neighborhood bugboy, and I'm here to let you know

    there are spiders that actually do this!

    have a bugtastic day, citizens

    Spiders aren't bugs

    hello, folks

    I'm your friendly neighborhood bugboy, and I'm here to address this statement

    it depends on your definition! in the colloquial sense, bug generally means anything with more than four legs

    in the scientific sense, it refers to one specific order of insects, the hemipterans

    I think we can all agree that bug is a cool word

    take it out for a spin today

    have a bugtastic day, citizens

    Well 21 is "The Finale, Part One"

    so uh

    I'm guessing Aja and Fraction will be done soon. Brevoort has also said that they don't have plans to relaunch it ala WatXM

    I'm playing the Mr. Freeze DLC for Arkham Origins and a big deal is made of rescuing industrialist and philanthropist Ferris Boyle
    So people keep using the phrase Save Ferris and I keep giggling

    No wonder Fraction never posts about Hawkeye on his tumblr

    The dude has been done with it for months at this point

    Im sorry marvel but when marvel now books start out numbering pre marvel now books something obviously needs to change

    Well, Hawkeye is literally the only title they have that has this issue.

    And they seem to be willing to eat the delays because the book is nearing its end and they want to stick the landing

    Man, giving Aja some breathing room to do his thing is one thing but sometimes you just gotta cut bait and find someone else for the project.

    It's not Hawkeye without Aja

    I'm really curious what else Fraction is working on for Marvel.

    He got invited to their editorial retreat just a couple weeks ago, he must be working on something that isn't Hawkeye.

    the Kate issues are an absolute different beast and besides every time a non Aja issue has come out, dating all the way back to the first non Aja arc that Pudilo drew is people saying "It's not the same" and complaining so

    lose/lose.


    In 5 years when I have the whole collection on my shelf I will be thankful they let Aja finish up Clint's story.

    Not necessarily, I think he has earned enough goodwill there to be invited and not have to pick up a book.

    Like I wouldn't be surprised if they invited him to see if anything caught his fancy, which it is possible nothing did

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Plus I think the NO IT HAS TO BE AJA thing is silly

    Marvel has a murderer's row of artists right now, many of which have similar styles, or at least appropriate for Hawkeye's tone, to Aja!

    K2kWGRq.jpg?1
    aZGmi5Q.jpg?1

    Of these, Samnee has proven he's capable of doing 2 issues a month.

    Or, hell, just put a guest artist on one of their books for an arc and let them wrap up Hawkeye.

    I'm not interested in a non-aja Hawkeye finale, and it's clear that neither is Marvel.


    It's not like the book has to sync up with anything else, it's its own thing.

  • OlivawOlivaw good name, isn't it? the foot of mt fujiRegistered User regular
    I'm with Bale, actually

    Aja's art is a big, big reason I adored Hawkeye, and adoring Hawkeye is basically what got me back into comic books as a medium in a huge way

    Since I don't buy individual issues, I'd much rather have the full Fraction/Aja Hawkeye story (with Bonus Kate Bishop!) then have someone else jump in and muddy up the very end

    Then, finally, David can fall into the Ajasleep and rest

    Until he is needed once again

    I think there are valid arguments for both ways

    and if you read Hawkeye in trades, the wait isn't going to seem that long

    but if you've been picking it up in singles having to wait 6 months, then another month and then 3 more months for various issues gets incredibly annoying

    I'm with Bale and Olivaw

    I do not like Pulido's art, it's a pale imitation of Aja's art with stupid faces

    I can wait for as long as it takes

    You don't rush genius

  • BalefuegoBalefuego Registered User regular
    I read it in single issues and the delays are annoying absolutely

    but a fill in artist would also be annoying, and it would continue to be annoying every time I ever wanted to go back and read Hawkeye in the future

    waiting for Aja is only annoying now, it will not be annoying past tense

    Also I was thinking about ASM2 today, and all the dumb stuff we know about it

    And I realized the reason why my spirit isn't yet broken is because none of those bad things apply to Spidey himself or Garfield's interpretation of him

    So I am starting to adjust expectations, but honestly even if ASM2 is subpar, I remain confident that it'll be the best interpretation of Spider-Man himself yet

    Considering I am able to re-read Immortal Iron Fist just fine despite having multiple artists, including Howard Chaykin, I'd disagree!
