Readathon: Marvel Universe vs The Avengers

Marvel Universe vs the Avengers

First of all, I read it in German. German is not only not my first language, but it's also a language I don't know as well as English and that I don't read a lot in.

That said, I loved this comic! It's deep and interesting and it hurts in the right ways and it gave me something, which is something you can't say for all the comics/books/whatever. I'm sure that, had I read it in English or Italian, I would have adore it, because there're a lot of sentences I haven't fully understand, but still loved. So yeah.

The main character is, you may guess, Hawkeye, in his purple costume (and I think the fact that I read a comic with Hawkeye in the purple costume shows how much I love him) but there are a ton of other characters, and it was awesome to see them in the choral scenes and recognize them! 

It's very dark, which is a little bit strange after reading the other things with Clint Barton, but it was really really good. If you haven't read it - read it! Because it's worth it, really. 

Maberry is a genius, I think I'll look up something else by him because... yeah, good work!

Quotes (it's quite spoilery): "I swear on the blood of all the fallen Avengers... on the blood on my hands: I'll find a way... to avenge this world. My... world." Hawkeye

Readathon: Hawkeye + Deadpool

Hawkeye + Deadpool

Untitled

[soon-to-be-posted cover]

Veeeery short because it was just an issue of a comic (it's from A + X, if you wondered) and it was a short one, so... yeah... 10 minutes top to read it? 

As I said, I love Hawkeye. I don't love Deadpool, but he's always fun to read and he's always breaking the fourth wall, which is a nice wink at the reader.

Together, they're just so. much. fun. I have the first two issue of their team-up and I'm sooo corious about that!

So... yeah. Short and funny.

Quote: "Wait, do they call you Legolas often?" "Continously." "Good shot, Hunger Games!" "Already heard!" "The Brave! The red one from the Brave!" "Sorry, bro." - Deadpool and Hawkeye.

[I have translated the quote myself from Italian, so... yeah, not really sure, but you get the idea]

Readathon: Hawkeye - little hits

Hawkeye - Little hits

(Hawkeye #6-11)

First of all, I love clint Barton/Hawkeye. I fell in love with him with the Avengers movie, I didn't know anything about him before that, and he isn't even a main character so it was kind of tricky for me to find comics to read. When I found out there was a new run with him I was so happy!

Hawkeye: little hits is the second collection of the run Hawkeye by the duo Fractal-Aja, who are awesome together (I guess they're awesome alone, too, but I really don't know) and is... quite sad, because Clint always tries to (and succeedes in) ruining his life, soooo... yeah.

Ugh.

Stupid Clint.

The story is awesome, the character are awesone - both Clint and all the others (I love love loooove Kate) - and the graphic is awesome. 

There's a page in which Hollingsworth talks about the colouring, explaining that it's decided first the basic colouring of the whole issue and the it's detailed in the single panels, and it really shows! 

So, in short... I love Hawkeye the character and I love Hawkeye the comic.

Quote: "You have to hunt the past in New York. Not like - like Prague, Budapest. Krakow, Paris, Istanbul. These places wear their past with honor over their hearts. A woman. Not a girl. New York... is youth. Always trying on new masks, new faces, new..." - Kazi.
