The Queue

I did not succeed in my Lenten ambition of finishing Resisting Happiness, but the end is in sight. (Famous last words, those.)

Fraction & Aja's Hawkeye is interesting & delightfully non-traditional superhero fare, but does not recapture the brief, shining glory of The Immortal Iron Fist, which remains for me a comic-book landmark.

Recently
Matt Fraction & David Aja, et al., Hawkeye, Volume 1 (hardcover of volumes one & two)
Matt Fraction & Annie Wu, et al., Hawkeye: L.A. Woman (volume three)
Matt Fraction & David Aja, Hawkeye: Rio Bravo (volume four)
