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
And also one of these issues is a fucking childrens christmas story in the middle of march months after a huge cliff hanger
his perspective is also super terrible, I remember someone in GV once made a diagram of one of his pages showing the scale of what was drawn according to the perspective used and it was hilariously out of whack.
I think it's fair to say that art is a bigger deal with comics with you than me, Bale, which probably is why we disagree on Hawkeye?
Like, and I'm not giving you shit for it, but you were willing to buy Loeb's Hulk because of McGuinness' art while I tend towards the writing and can put up with Chaykin for Matt Fraction's Danny Rand.

I only read through the first arc, even I have my limits.

Pulido didn't bother me too much on Hawkeye but yeah, that last She-Hulk was something else.
I really liked that arc of Hawkeye that Pulido did
I think I like his art a lot, actually.
Pulido is awesome, but when those issues came out there was a lot of grumping about how it wasn't Aja and that grumping has gotten even louder since then. Plenty of people outright don't like the Annie Wu Kate issues and someone on this very page again posted their hilariously hyperbolic rage about the Eliopoulis issue
The Eliopoulis issue wasn't disliked because it wasn't Aja, it was disliked because it was blatant filler that came out months late and had ridiculous tonal clash with the previous issue
When I read the Chaykin stuff in Immortal Iron Fist
At first I thought I was looking at Steve Rogers or something, and got confused as to why he was showing up
That was my only problem with the Chaykin Iron Fist special. I mean, I liked Aja a bunch, but he had the exact same problems there that he has in Hawkeye.

@Blankzilla, I count 54 comics up there. If every trade is $2.99 you are spending near $162 on comics.
I finally got my hands on the Sentry book and man, (unfortunately) knowing where it's all going, this is REALLY good stuff. It must have been amazing to read as it was coming out.

Olivawgood name, isn't it?the foot of mt fujiRegistered Userregular
Hey, should I just have my brother borrow Saga vol 1-3 now? Or wait for some more volumes?
Buy Saga. Now.
Saga is the best book on the stands, and every second without it is a wasted second.
I already own volumes 1-3. I was asking if I should have my brother borrow them now, or wait until there's more story. I'm not sure if the end of Volume 3 was a good enough breaking point for a several month wait.
EDIT: Wait, nevermind, looks like there was a several month wait between issues 18 and 19, so the next trade is probably a year away. I'll just have him borrow what I have already.

Give him them now.
Volume 3 settles all the plot for a bit, after all. It ends with a timeskip, which is prime point for a break.
I found a lot of 2099 stuff, Punisher/Spider-Man/X-Men/Doom so I'm going to take a look a look at those. I also want to read Secret Wars. He has the crossover issue of the X-Men and Teen Titans too, that might be interesting.
There is a ton of DC stuff as well but I'm not sure what to pick out from there. He does have Batman: Year One which I will re-read.

I just can't do it
and Iron Fist was never unique in the way Aja has made Hawkeye unique, in terms of art.
Aja's style was an incredibly important part of those early issues
I mean I don't think I've seen a lot of his stuff but what I have seen, I don't see anything irredeemable or unreadable about it

Fuckin' Mike Deodato's art bothers me more than that

Most of the time they're fine but then you'll get someone who is crosseyed or that terrifying Hellcat spread

I don't think there's a word I know for why, but it's something that instantly I went like "hmmm yeah Yeah"

I mean, they didnt really specify the year that flash back occurred so...
5 years on the island, 2 years due to this being second season, i say it happen a few years before the island and kid could be 10+ years
Also, they mentioned Tibet. Man, what if Conner is Arrows version of Damien?!
Edit: ALSO HOLY SHIT I JUST GOT TO THE END!
