“Hawkguy”
Over the past month, I have gotten caught up on almost all the Marvel Now! line. I must say, oddly, that Matt Fraction’s two series, Hawkeye and FF (art by Mike & Laura Allred!!), are my favorites. They are what Continue reading
One of Marvel NOW’s most anticipated books releases this week, Avengers #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opena. I must say that I’m super excited for this book.

Here are my favorite covers from the current week of comics.
The Mighty Thor #19
Cover by Alan Davis

Hawkeye #2
Cover by David Aja

Venom #24
Variant Cover by Skottie Young
It’s Skottie Young, and for me personally that’s really all that’s necessary for this cover to be on the list. It’s a variant cover celebrating Spidey’s 50th Anniversary, and it’s fantastic.
