Sweet, it's time for a Hawkeye comic! This series has been as good as any series I've been reading, and I look for that to continue here. Let's get to it!
Hawkeye #10:
Summary: This issue pretty much gives us the origin of the guy who killed Grills. Some guy named Kazi. Basically he came from a country where he had lost his family and loved ones to war. Upon arriving in America he starts killing for money, and discovers he's good at it. Not only is he good at it, but he enjoys it. He ends up bumping into Kate at a fancy snob shindig, and hits it off with her. Kate checks in on Hawkeye, and sees that he's still in his moody phase, so she takes off. While that's going on, Kazi is killing Grills on the roof... So yep, this issue was a flashback issue, and Kate smooched with Grills killer a few hours before Grills was murdered.
Thoughts: Um, this was... Odd... This issue really didn't do anything for me. Kazi isn't interesting ti me in the least, which made this issue kind of a waste of time. I mean this issue ended the exact same way, in the exact moment in time as the last issue! Bah. But hey, one subpar issue doesn't ruin this series for me. I'm sure things will get back on track next issue.
Score: 5 1/2 out of 10.

Best of the Rest! April 10th edition.
Hey all, X here to herald in a brand new BotR post. Not only that, but this is the 3,000th post here at the blog! That's A LOT of posts! Speaking of a lot, I picked up a slew of comics on Wednesday, so it should go without saying there are gonna be A LOT of comics covered in this post. As always, I'll get things started and JT will pitch in towards the end of the review. JT's text will be in blue. With so many comics to dig into, let's end the intro and get to the main event.
Alpha: Big Time #3: In this issue, Alpha DOESN'T screw up! Huzzah for the greatest hero ever!! He saves that girl he likes in school from a fire(and she naturally knows who he is, because she's not a moron), and talks to Doc Parker about his powers, which seem to be growing. However, the main villain of Pittsburgh takes umbrage at a hero being and town, and since everybody knows who Alpha is, decides to pay his family a visit. So yeah, this comic? You know I loved it! I read it from cover to cover with a smile on my face. I just can't help but to love this character, and this series. Alpha is honestly what all teenage heroes SHOULD be. Score: 8 1/2 out of 10.
Ultron #1AU: With all of the other Runaways dead, Victor has been saving whatever kids he could find in destroyed Los Angeles. Luckily for him, the various Ultron patrols can't seem to figure out what he is, and as such haven't killed him. Oh yeah, and Victor has been hiding his powers from the kids he was rescuing, while subtly using them to hide from Ultron. At least until one of the kids sees him doing robot-y stuff, and the Ultrons attack. It's then that Victor decides to stop slinking around in the shadows, afraid of Ultron and finally fights back. This was another really good comic. Man, with the exception of AoU #5, I have been having some GREAT luck with my comic reading this week. I liked the art, and the writing nailed Victor perfectly. This is a character that needs a much bigger place in the Marvel U. Score: 9 out of 10.
Walking Dead #109: This issue dealt with Jesus and Rick putting their plan to attack Negan in motion. Rick informs certain people from his group(Andrea, Carl, Michonne), while Jesus tells a select number of folks at the Hilltop. However, by the end of this one, Jesus seems to realize that one of the guys he told was in Negan's pocket. This was an okay issue. I mean, nothing really happened, I wasn't blown away by it, but it was a fine way to kill a few minutes. Score: 6 1/2 out of 10.
Hawkeye #9: This issue gives us a look at the four most important women in Hawkeye's life(Mockingbird, Black Widow, Kate and Spider-Woman). Plus it advances the story with the mob having it out for Clint by having an assassin kill Clint's neighbor, Grills. So we had action, comedy, and Kate calling Clint a bitch. Yup, this one checked all the boxes for me. Score: 7 1/2 out of 10.
Thor: God of Thunder #7: Current Thor and Future Thor get together and prepare an attack on Gorr's planet. Meanwhile, Gorr captures Young Thor and forces Young Thor to work on Gorr's master plan... A gigantic bomb. No complaints with this one. Gorr is still a great villain, and I enjoyed seeing the two Thors interact. The reveal at the end wasn't something I was all excited over(so Gorr has a big bomb... Even though he's killed most every god without a giant bomb...), but I'm sure Jason Aaron has a reason Gorr is concocting that bomb. So yeah, again, good stuff here. Score: 7 out of 10.
Secret Avengers #3: AIM's scientist supreme and a few henchmen drop in on a weapon's expo, claiming they had every right to be there since they were members of a UN recognized country. Needless to say, that leads to Nick Fury(jr) and Daisy Johnson fighting AIM. A US senator ends up getting killed during the ruckus, and AIM escapes with the Iron Patriot armor, which they seemed interested in using Mentallo to pilot. Also, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Mockingbird find a half destroyed Jocasta at a wrecked AIM base. Hey, I liked this comic too! What's going on this week?! I'm still not 100% sold on AIM as the main antagonists here(they seem too faceless without somebody like MODOK leading them), but I'm slowly starting to get into this story. Plus, anytime you throw Hawkeye, Black Widow and Mockingbird into a comic I'm gonna be a happy camper. Score: 7 1/2 out of 10.
Fantastic Four #6: Reed decides to take the kids to the Big Bang. For SCIENCE!! While there, they find a body floating around in the void and rescue it. It turns out the body is an older version of Blastaar, and he attacks. Franklin uses his powers to send Blastaar back outside before the ship is critically damaged. Ah, there we go... I knew my comic reading luck was too good prior to this issue. So yeah, I didn't like this issue at all. The F4 are too cardboard for my tastes here, and the two kids are incredibly irritating. Like to the point where I've stopped reading their dialogue because they piss me off so much. Besides that, there's nothing interesting happening here... Oh no, something mysterious is wrong with Ben! Oh no, Reed has a mysterious disease! Oh no, Sue is pouting! This series just isn't for me, so I'll be dropping it come Wednesday. Score: 2 out of 10.
Superboy #19: This issue actually gives us SB's full origin(um, shouldn't that have happened in the zero issue?), as well as Harvest's. Harvest is from a future where humanity is at war with the meta-humans, who have taken to abusing their powers. As for SB, he is a clone of Lois Lane and Superman's son, Jon. Jon was taken in by Harvest after his parents thought he had died. Why? Because Harvest intended on using Jon to kill every meta-human, since Jon was the most powerful of the metas. However, Jon was messed up due to his hybrid Kryptonian/human DNA and wound up in a coma, so Harvest created a clone to try to help Jon(who he came to love like a son). So yeah, SB is the clone of the son of Lois and Supes, and that? That is SOOOOO much better than SB as the clone of Supes and Lex, or Supes and a random scientist. I have to say, this issue was really good. Like, surprisingly so! I'm usually blasting Scott Lobdell's work, but he brought his A-game here. Harvest became a deeper character, while SB has an origin that I like. I still don't understand why we didn't get this in issue #0, but hey, at least we got it here. Score: 8 out of 10.
Ultimates #23: The leader of California sends Tigra and Quake from the West Coast Ultimates to attack Cap at the White House. Meanwhile, WCU member Vision has stolen Tony Stark's nuclear satellite and has sent it hurdling towards Sacramento The leader of California figures that will be seen as an attack on California and will lead to the west coast states banding together against Cap and the rest of the country. This issue was kind of a snoozer for me. I just never got into it. So yeah, that's all I have to say about this issue, actually... Score: 5 out of 10.
Batman and Red Robin #19: In this issue we're introduced to Carrie Kelley, a college student that had apparently been tutoring Damian for thousands of dollars, as well as her blonde roommate that wears purple. (Hint, hint?) Anyway, She goes looking for Damian at his home but no one answers. Bruce starts looking into her life and when he tells her that her services are no longer needed, she asks where Damian is, causing Bruce to leave without answering. Also, Batman heads off to find Frankenstein with the intent of having him help resurrect Damian. Frankenstein is not on board with this, and neither is Red Robin, who finally pops up when Alfred asks him to go check out Bruce's location. Tim tries to stop Bruce but ends up getting punched in the face for his troubles. Sensing that Batman will do whatever he has to, Frankenstein blows up his lab/lair, leaving Batman at square one, now very pissed at Tim for interfering on his quest to resurrect Damain. This was a weird issue, considering Red Robin was barely in it and his name's in the title, but it was far from bad, plus Bruce dealt with Denial on his first of the five steps of grief. Next is Anger, and Red Hood is involved! Score: 6/10
Wolverine #2: In this issue, Logan is pursuing a child that seems to be mind controlled by some kind of alien-like being, as we see it's mind controlling other people as well. Logan wants to stop the being without hurting the kid, but he has a laser gun that basically disintegrates people on impact. Logan tries to talk the mind controller down and distracts it long enough to disarm the kid, who then leaps off of the building while still being controlled. Logan leaps after him and catches the kid, then lands with his body taking the impact. Logan and the kid survive, but someone else now has the laser gun, but they're dealt with by Nick Fury, who shows up to help Logan investigate the mind controllers. The issue ends with The Watcher showing up, meaning this is a big problem. I enjoyed this issue, It's weird how a story with Wolverine facing a kid could be this entertaining but it was, also Cornell has a penchant for mind control, doesn't he? Score: 7/10
Saga #12: This issue starts with us seeing some of Prince Robot's time on the front lines during the war, where he's saved by a medic that promptly dies afterwards. From there we see him take a call that basically motivates him to find Alanna and Marko and get home to his family. Prince Robot heads off to meet the author of the book Alanna read when she fell in love with Marko, and the author basically says he wrote it for a check and doesn't believe in what he wrote. He and Prince Robot share some words before the author reveals his son, a former war hero, hanged himself in the bathroom upon returning home from war. Prince Robot calls his son a coward and the author pulls a weapon on him, but Prince Robot shoots him in the leg first. Prince Robot decides to wait at the house for Marko and Alanna, knowing they'd seek out the sympathizer, but doesn't realize they're already there, hiding upstairs and aware of the Prince's presence. I enjoyed this issue, I like that everyone is humanized so no one really feels like a bad guy, everyone has motivation so it seems real. Prince Robot, The Will, Marko and Alanna, even Gwendolyn to a degree. Score: 7.5/10
And that my friends, is the Best of the Rest. I'll be here tomorrow with the final review of the comic week, Uncanny X-Men #4. And I probably will have short reviews for the week after while I play Injustice until my eyes bleed. Lol, anyway, til next time, this is JT, signing off!
Alpha: Big Time #3: In this issue, Alpha DOESN'T screw up! Huzzah for the greatest hero ever!!

Hawkeye #8
After a night of JT, it's time to head back to the relative sanity of an X review night! What a relief, right? Two reviews on tap for the night, the first of which was my favorite series of 2012... Yes, it's Hawkeye time!!
Kate rules!
Hawkeye #8
Summary: We kick this one off with the woman Hawkeye helped get away from the tracksuit mafia(Penny I think her name is... Eh, I'll call her Penny...) stopping by Avengers Mansion and planting a kiss on Hawkeye, asking him for his help. That's all fine and good and all, except Clint's first love(Black Widow), ex-wife(Mockingbird) and current girlfriend(Spider-Woman) are standing right there... Ah Clint... Hawkeye decides to take Penny out of there(probably to get away from the angry women!) and finds out that she a) shot her ex-husband, a member of the tracksuit mafia, and b) needed Hawkeye's help in stealing a safe from a stripclub the tracksuiters ran. Oh yeah, Penny had also been sending Hawkeye comic books, which is important for later. Anyway, Hawkeye, being Hawkeye and all, decides to help her. Hawkeye heads to the stripclub and makes a scene(which consists of Hawkeye beating up tracksuiters), which allows Penny to snatch the safe. Unfortunately for our hero, the police respond to the disturbance and arrest Hawkeye, while Penny sneaks away. Hawkeye meets up with Penny later at his apartment and she is infuriated that Hawkeye had mixed up the comic books, since the combination to the safe was the numbers on the comic books. Since putting in the wrong combination three times would destroy the contents of the safe, Penny angrily gives Hawkeye the safe and leaves. This issue ends with the tracksuit mafia getting the okay from the New York mobs to put a hit on Hawkeye.
Thoughts: I hate to say it, but I didn't love this comic... I liked it, but it definitely wasn't one of my favorites. There were just too many little things that bugged me... How did Penny get into Avengers Mansion to kiss an unsuspecting Clint? Why would Penny expect Clint to keep the comics that she sent him in the exact order they were sent in? She didn't send him any instructions(to my knowledge), so how would he know to keep them in a pile? Penny goes through all of that trouble to get the safe and then simply leaves it with Hawkeye? If she needed the contents so badly, why not take the safe with you? Or try to open it? If the contents get destroyed, so be it. Now you know Clint will end up opening it, which means he'll be the one with whatever this item(s) Penny wanted so badly... It just didn't add up for me. On the plus side, as always, Matt Fraction has Hawkeye DOWN. He just writes that character SO perfectly. He also wrote Mockingbird really well for the brief scene she appeared in. But yeah, for me, this wasn't the best issue from this series...
Score: 7 out of 10.
Kate rules!

A random picture! Starring Hawkeye!
Hey all, JT and I ended up finishing our reviews a day early. So yeah... But hey, since there's no new reviews, that gives me an excuse to post a picture! And everybody loves pictures, so it's a win-win! Since I do like adding pictures to things around here, expect a few more posts like this in the coming weeks. Anyway, we'll start things off with that most graceful of Avengers, Hawkeye!

Hawkeye #7
All right! Here's one of my favorite comic characters in one of my favorite comic series! Since I can't wait to dig into this once, I'm going to skip the intro and get right to the action!
Hawkeye #7
Summary: This issue looks at Hawkeye(Clint) and Hawkeye(Kate) and how they dealt with the events of that bastard hurricane/tropical storm Sandy. Clint ends up helping a friend's father in Far Rockaway, who refused to leave his house before the storm came. Luckily for Clint and company, they manage to survive due to a rowboat in the old man's attic. Meanwhile, Kate heads to New Jersey for a wedding, but the fancy hotel she was in loses power and she's forced to head out to try to get some medication for a friend's mother. She runs afoul some looters, but the neighborhood comes to her defense and the looters get arrested. The two Hawkeyes meet up later to trade war stories and that's it for this one.
Thoughts: First things first, I grew up in Queens(Ozone Park, to be more specific), my family moved around a lot, but we were always in the Ozone Park/Jamaica area when I was a kid. My first real job was in South Jamaica, which is right near Far Rockaway, so yeah, I knew all about the various Rockaways Clint and his buddy were talking about. I've been to 'em all. But enough about me, back to this story. It was... well, it was only okay for me... It never really interested me. I didn't have any emotional attachment to Clint's friend, or Kate's wedding party... So I wasn't really all that interested in their plights. For me, this was a VERY rare miss for me with this series...
Score: 6 out of 10
Blast it, foiled by a can of beans!

Hawkeye #6
Hey Todd Squad, JT with my third review of the week, everyone's favorite archer (especially since DC took Ollie and gave us a generic, boring, wanna-be Clint Barton) Hawkeye! Hawkeye's been amazing lately so enough of this intro, let's get to the review!
Summary: This issue time jumps around a bit, so if ya read it, make sure you pay attention or you'll be confused. The gist of the story Clint needs to get the cable fixed, because the Dish is malfunctioning for a tenant due to an arrow being in it, thanks to Clint, and her kids want to watch some annual Christmas special. The cable guy refuses to fix it because it's on a fire escape, it's snowing, and he's fat, outta shape and lazy...his words, not mine. Also Clint is confronted by the "Bro's" from a few issues back, and they're pissed at Clint for buying the building he lives in, getting the boss' wife out of town, and other Broski type reasons of enragement, so they jump Clint, take him to an abandoned building, telling him he has 24 hours to get out of town or they'll kill everyone in his building. Clint decides to leave, and has a bow sent to Kate by one of his tenants that happens to be a bike messenger. Before he can leave town, Kate comes to him and tells him he needs to stop trying to leave, he's a hero and he needs to act like it. Clint takes her advice and takes the Bro's on, which we don't see, but he clearly won since he is still there later, allowing the Tenant and her kids to watch the holiday specials with him, as the issue comes to a close.
Thoughts: This was a filler issue, and a holiday issue. Yet, it was still really good. I laughed a lot throughout this issue, the scenes with Stark, the "Hawkguy" scene, and the Bro's... just them saying "Bro" and "Futz" cracks me up. But this was also a great issue because it showed how vital Kate is to Clint, who was willing to pack up to keep everyone safe, but was willing to fight to maintain their safety, thanks to a few words from Kate. All in all, this was an issue you can miss, but if you did pick it up, you're guaranteed to enjoy it.
Score: 8.5/10
Tenant: Don't gotta pretend you ain't Hawkguy 'round us, Hawkguy.

Hawkeye #5
And the last X review of the week should be a great one, especially if this issue is anything like the one that preceded it. Bottom line, Hawkeye is a fantastic comic that everybody should read. That about sums things up.
Hawkeye #5:
Summary: To escape the ninjas that had attacked him last issue, Hawkeye hops out the window of his hotel. And we're not talking about the first floor window or anything, we're talking many, many stories up! As he's falling, Clint realizes that this probably wasn't the best of ideas... Meanwhile, Kate Bishop(the other Hawkeye), watches the tape of Hawkeye assassinating the terrorist, at which time some goons knock on her door. She quickly shuts the tape and dons her Madame Masque... um, mask, but the goons are wise to her act when they find the real Madame Masque tied up and none too happy in Kate's bathroom. Back with Hawkeye, Maria Hill(of SHIELD) flies to Hawkeye's rescue and catches the falling archer. Unfortunately, the crazy ninjas fall onto the skysled as well, leading to a battle between Hawkeye and the ninjas. It's a battle Hawkeye wins. Back with Kate, she is brought back to the room of villains, who all inquire about the health of Madame Masque. However, Hawkeye aims a sonic arrow at the windows holding the villains and Kate and lets it fly, bringing the villains to their knees. Hawkeye jumps in to help Kate(forgetting he lost a shoe, leading to walking through the glass he broke), and the two escape the room. Hawkeye asks Kate where the tape was, and the two dash back to Madame Masque's room to retrieve it. With the tape safely in Clint's hands, the two make a break for the elevator, but are hounded by an enraged Madame Masque. As the two Hawkeye's reach the elevator, Masque manages to fire off a single round, which shatters the tape and hits Hawkeye right in the chest! Fortunately for the world's greatest marksman, he was wearing a bulletproof vest and survives the shot, but not before passing out. Later, Clint wakes up with Kate, Hill and Nick Fury Jr at his bedside on the SHIELD hellicarrier. Fury thanks Clint for making the tape, and we find out that SHIELD suispected they had a leak, and as such made three tapes of the terrorist dying, one with Captain America, one with Wolverine and one with Hawkeye. When the Hawkeye one was taken, SHIELD was able to eliminate their mole. Kate is kind of angry that this whole adventure was over a fake tape, but Clint explains that he wanted to provide the mole with something bigger than the names of the Navy Seals who really killed the terrorist, his own name. And with that, Kate realizes something I've always known, Hawkeye is a great guy.
Thoughts: Yep, I loved this issue. Hell, I loved this entire storyline! Add the fact that Hawkeye DIDN'T actually kill the terrorist(which would have gone counter to his character), but dangled himself out there as bait to protect the identities of the Navy Seals who did, and you have the recipe for a wonderful comic. I'm not sure what else to say... I have nothing bad to say about this comic... Only good... Um, buy and read Hawkeye! There, that should do it for this post!
Score: 10 out of 10.

Hawkeye #4
Well, in the end I decided to go with what I knew would be a good read as opposed to taking my chances and read something I could pretty much guarantee would suck... Therefore, my last review of this week will be Hawkeye #4 instead of Red Hood and the Outlaws #14. I mean really, READING Red Hood #14 will almost definitely be painful enough, why prolong that torment by forcing myself to review it as well?!
Hawkeye #4
Summary: This issue kicks off with SHIELD abducting Hawkeye from his rooftop barbque to tell him that a tape of him apparently murdering the world's most wanted terrorist. And to make matters worse, the tape was being auctioned off in Madripoor. Since the tape getting out would mean bad things for the Avengers, SHIELD, the US government and Hawkeye, SHIELD tells Hawkeye to take an unlimited credit card and head to Madripoor to buy the tape from the auction. Kate Bishop(Hawkeye's sort of sidekick) questions what was going on, but Hawkeye refuses to involve her in this mess and leaves for Madripoor. After some misadventures(which happens to any hero visiting Madripoor), Hawkeye arrives at the casino holding the auction... But is kidnapped by goons who were following Madame Masque's orders... D'oh! Hawkeye tells Masque that she was keeping him from buying the tape of him killing the terrorist with his unlimited SHIELD credit card(?!) so Masque takes it from him and has him locked up in a room while she heads to the auction with the card herself. Masque ends up out bidding all of the other villains for the tape and takes it back to her room, where we find out that she was actually Kate disguised as Masque, while Hawkeye himself is being surrounded by weird ninjas.
Thoughts: First things first, the art in this issue was way better than the art from the first three issues, which is a GREAT thing. Anyway, on to the story here. The story was actually really good... BUT(you had to know that was coming!), the reveal that Kate had taken Masque's spot was SO obvious! Once Hawkeye mentioned that Kate was rich, you knew that she was going to tail him to Madripoor, where we saw Kate in disguise trying to catch a taxi(her speaking English was a HUGE hint). Add the fact that Masque didn't have Hawkeye killed, as well as Hawkeye spilling his guts to Masque about what was supposedly on the tape and where to find the unlimited credit card, and yeah, Masque HAD to be Kate, and Hawkeye HAD to know. So yeah, that was a tad bit obvious to me. However, like I said, the story here WAS very strong. Granted, I really don't like the idea of Hawkeye, once one of the Avengers staunchest supporters of the "Avengers NEVER kill!" rule, a man who broke up his marriage because his wife allowed the man who raped her to fall to his death, would kill somebody... But until it's actually shown that he did the deed, I'll reserve judgement on that. Here's hoping Matt Fraction stays true to the spirit of Hawkeye though and we discover that there was something else, something more Clint Barton-like, on that tape.
Score: 9 out of 10.
Sorry, no picture for this one on account of my laptop dying a slow and painful death...

Hawkeye #2
I didn't actually get to review Hawkeye #1, but I would have probably given it a very solid 8 out of 10 or so. I thought it was a great introduction to the Clint Barton character for people who only knew him from the movie, but for somebody like me, who has loved the character for years, it didn't blow my mind. Now, with this second issue, I'm hoping for something mind-blowing!
Hawkeye #2:
Summary: Hawkeye(the original, Clint Barton) and Kate Bishop(the Young Avenger named Hawkeye from when Clint was dead and/or a ninja...) have decided to head to a carnival that mainly rich villain-types were going to, since Clint had a bad feeling about it. Sure enough, the carnival is led by the Ringmaster(of the Circus of Crime), and the Ringmaster does his regular modus operandi, hypnotizing the crowd and then robbing them. Clint and Kate have some special glasses that negate Ringmaster's hypnotic hat(yes, his hat), and head out to take down the Circus. Kate handles things very professionally, while Clint gets captured by a sword-thrower who had been trained by Clint's old trainer, the Swordsman. Kate manages to rescue Clint, after whcih time she shoots the Ringmaster and some of his goons in the eyes(!!). The sword-thrower then arrives on the scene, looking to take on Clint one-on-one. Clint responds by banking an arrow off a wall, into the back of the sword-thrower's neck, taking him down(permanently?). With that, Clint and Kate take the money the Circus robbed from the criminals and drive away on a boat, letting the money blow away in the sea. Needless to say, the criminals, led by Kingpin(!), are NOT pleased by this turn of events.
Thoughts: Um, this comic just didn't do it for me... I mean it was okay, but it wasn't great. But it WAS a Hawkeye comic, so that makes anything better. Sure, I don't know why the likes of Kingpin and Hammerhead would be dumb enough to go to a show being put on by the Circus of CRIME, nor do I get why the Circus would want to make enemies with KINGPIN, of all people, but whatever I guess. I was definitely happy to see Kate pop up here and become Clint's partner, because I AM a huge Young Avengers fan, but this issue was strangely lacking for me. I can't really put my finger on it, but there was something missing here for me... But hey, it IS Hawkeye, so that's still a huge boost, regardless of the story.
Score: 6 1/2 out of 10.
"And he'll never walk again..." Oh that wacky Hawkeye...

Some of my favorite comic characters!
Here's a post that needs no introduction, some random comic scans of some of my favorite comic book characters! Ten of my favorite characters to be exact, five from DC and five from Marvel. And no, this isn't the definitive list of favorite characters for me, these are just 10 characters who came to mind for me the fastest. There are a few big omissions, but what do you want from me, I only spent like 20 minutes on this post! So without further ado, here they are in no particular order.
Arsenal.
Now that DC has despicably eliminated Lian from even existing, I'll have to rely on back issues to see what an awesome father Roy was.
Captain America.
Cap's not above bitch-smacking a teammate who isn't listening.
Batman(Dick Grayson).
You tell him, Dick!
Ultron.
Not many villains would take the time to ignore THOR to insult somebody. That's what makes Ultron extra special!
Jason Todd.
Yep, Jason rules.
Hawkeye.
That's right, Hawkeye once defeated a cosmic being and saved the universe by cheating at a game of chance!
Impulse.
That is the most badass Impulse picture ever!
Bucky Barnes.
Bucky took down IRON MAN! Think about THAT!
Robin(Tim Drake).
And people think Jason was the high-strung Robin!
Nate Grey.
X-Man: 1, Professor Xavier: 0.
You had to know I was going to close out this post with an X-Man scan! So yeah, there were a lot of omissions(Wally West, Kyle Rayner, Stephanie Brown, Daken, Hardball, Marvel Boy, and the list goes on and on), but like I said, this was just a quickie post. Given more time to think, I'm sure I'd have come up with a few different choices. But hey, that means I can do another post like this down the road! Anyway, that'll do it for me tonight, until next time, X out.

The Random Scan(s) of the Week!
So I was going to post reviews for Batman: Gates of Gotham #4 and that Batman Retro 1980's comic today, but I'm just not in a reviewing mood... You see all of the reviews I post weekly, every so often I just need a break! To make up for my laziness, here are three completely random scans that I've found on my computer for some reason... I'll have those two Bat comics up, reviewed and posted come tomorrow, but for today? Enjoy the complete and utter randomness presented below.
Hawkeye is SO much > than Green Arrow it's actually a bit sad...
Vulcan makes a very valid point here.
The devil sure does have an interesting sense of style... I doubt many demons would bust out the lime green suit...

Those Avengers...
One more day until New Comic Day, so that means one more filler post. Today we'll swing back to Marvel and I'll post a few of my favorite scenes from the awesomeness that was the West Coast Avengers. Why the West Coast Avengers? Why not?
Let's see, we have the happy, loving couple that were Hawkeye and Mockingbird.
Hawkeye showing how much respect he has for his mentor, Captain America.
Ultron using one of the best insults ever on Iron Man.
And finally, some heart-warming stuff between Ultron and his “father”, Hank Pym.

The Random Scan of the Week!
Hey X-Maniacs, it's Sunday, which means it's time for yet another random comic scan! Umm, that's all I've got! I really don't have much to say tonight(That's a shocker!)so I'll just do the whole, Long Live The Legion thing and move along...
Hawkeye vs just about every c-list villain in the Marvel Universe... What's not to like?!? From Avengers Spotlight #25(Nov. 1989)

Some fun with Mockingbird and Hawkeye!
After reading "New Avengers: The Reunion" earlier tonight, I got the urge to check out some of my old "West Coast Avengers" comics. Here's a scan showing Clint and Bobbi at their married best.
"Grape-face"??? Couldn't Mock come up with a better insult then that?!?

Tony Stark: Jerk, part 1
So, here we have Good ol' Tony lying to one of his oldest allies, Hawkeye. Yes, that is really Tony Stark in the armor, even though he is claiming that he isn't Tony Stark. And for the record, when Tony tells Clint that, "Stark fired the guy you're talking about.", Tony's full of s###, because TONY was THAT guy in the suit and he obviously didn't fire himself! Reading this actually had me laughing, because all Tony does here is pile lie on top of lie. Hawkeye is supposed to be one of Tony's oldest "friends", and I use that term loosely, and Tony just continues to lie to Clint without a care in the world. Tony Stark is nothing more than a user of people. That's what he does. He uses people like pawns and when they realize Stark is playing them, he claims "someone else" did it. Don't even get me started on Spider-Man and Captain America! What Stark did to them was just plain vicious. What an a##hole...

Yes, somehow Hawkeye survives this!
The fact that Clint Barton(Hawkeye)managed to survive getting shot like 20 times at once still manages to make me laugh. For a guy with no superpowers, surviving THAT many gunshot wounds is a pretty impressive feat!Sunday, March 1, 2009
More fun with Hawkeye.
Thanks to a mess of schoolwork I have to get done by tomorrow morning, I won't be able to post a review of Dark Avengers #2, as planned... Which is probably for the best, since I doubt I'd have had anything good to say about DA #2 anyway. Instead, here's a scan of vintage Clint Barton in action. Nothing cheers me up like some old school Hawkeye.

Who needs trick arrows?
I thought these scans were pretty funny, hopefully someone else will enjoy them as well.
It's stuff like this that really makes me wonder why the hell Clint Barton is dressed like a ninja and Bullseye is dressed as Hawkeye... Clint Barton as Hawkeye was flat out awesome.
